As the principal designer and founder of Swinging Monkey Interiors, my journey into the world of design began with a deep passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces and was formalised through my studies in Interior Design. From the outset, I was driven by a desire to transform spaces into reflections of personality, elegance, and purpose.
One of the most pivotal moments in my career came early on, when I was entrusted with the interior fit-out of several luxury villas on Hamilton Island. These villas, nestled within the exclusive, private gated community of the prestigious Yacht Club Villas, were a dream project that allowed me to showcase my creativity and attention to detail on a grand scale.
That experience proved transformative, sparking a ripple effect that propelled my business forward. Through the power of word-of-mouth referrals and a growing reputation for excellence, Swinging Monkey Interiors has continued to thrive and evolve over the past 15 years. From designing and styling individual rooms to managing large-scale boutique development projects, each opportunity has been a stepping stone in refining my craft and bringing unique visions to life.
My journey is a testament to the belief that every project, big or small, holds the potential to inspire and create meaningful connections. It is this philosophy that continues to drive Swinging Monkey Interiors and the work we do to this day.
Interior Design
The Initial Brief & The Design Development
Whether it is a single room or an entire property, we begin by discussing the space and agreeing on aesthetics, budget and timing. With the client’s needs at the forefront, we craft a detailed brief and develop a concept that thoughtfully balances existing elements with timeless design trends. To bring the vision to life we provide mood boards, samples and high quality renders, allowing clients to clearly visualise their transformed space.
Project Management
As the Project Manager for any interior or decorating job we oversee every step from the concept to completion. Trades and suppliers will be sourced and co-ordinated and a detailed schedule will be implemented to avoid delays. Regular inspections will take place to address any issues that may arise and regular communication with the client and trades will ensure that the project is within budget and on time.
Interior Decorating & Styling
We will create personalised spaces by blending iconic pieces with modern design, shaping unique rooms tailored to your style and requirements. From colour schemes and furnishings to window treatments, lighting and accessories we bring together all the elements to create a cohesive, inviting space that reflects your vision and elevates your space..
Custom Lighting
Lighting is essential to any design enhancing both the look and the function of a room. We create custom lighting plans that balance task, ambient and accent lighting to suit your space.
