How we can work together.
Interior design for homes and changing lifestyles — combining beautiful design, better use of space and thoughtful planning for what comes next.
2 - Hour Home Design Consultation
Not sure what needs to change? Start here.
A focused two-hour consultation in your home to talk about what's working, what's not and what could be improved.
Sometimes you don't need a major renovation. You simply need an experienced designer to look at your home differently and help you see the possibilities.
We can look at:
How you're currently using your home
Furniture layout and circulation
Storage and organisation
Rooms that aren't working effectively
Lighting, colours, finishes and furnishings
Kitchen and bathroom improvements
Accessibility and mobility
Potential ageing-in-place considerations
Opportunities to make better use of existing space
Changes that could be made now
Improvements that could be planned for later
The consultation gives you professional direction and practical ideas without committing to a larger design project.
And if further design work would help, we can identify the next steps together.
Home Redesign and Space Planning
Sometimes you don't need a different home. You need your home to work differently.
Our Home Redesign service looks at how your existing home could better support the way you live.
We consider layout, circulation, furniture, storage and how individual rooms are being used to identify opportunities that may not be immediately obvious.
This can include:
Space planning
Furniture layouts
Bespoke storage solutions
Built-in joinery
Reworking underused rooms
Kitchen and bathroom improvements
Lighting, furniture and furnishings
Colour and finishes
Improving circulation and accessibility
Planning for changing needs
The aim is to make better use of the home you already have. Creating spaces that feel easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable to live in.
Downsizing and Moving Home Design
Moving home doesn't mean leaving everything you love behind.
Downsizing can involve hundreds of decisions — from choosing the right property to deciding what furniture to keep and imagining how a new home will feel.
LivSmall can help before, during and after the move.
Depending on where you are in the process, we can assist with:
Assessing potential new homes
Reviewing floor plans before you buy
Considering future accessibility
Measuring existing furniture
Deciding what will work in the new home
Furniture layouts
Identifying storage requirements
Selecting new furniture where required
Colour and finishes
Window treatments
Lighting
Bespoke joinery
Planning the new home before moving day
Creating furniture placement plans for removalists
Completing and personalising the new home
The goal isn't simply to fit your belongings into a new space.
It's to create a new home that feels considered, comfortable and unmistakably yours.
Ageing in Place Design
A safer home doesn't have to look clinical.
Ageing in place is about creating a home that continues to support you as your needs change — while still feeling like the home you love.
We look at your home from both a design and future-living perspective, considering where thoughtful changes could improve comfort, safety, accessibility and independence.
This may include:
Circulation and clearances
Steps and level changes
Lighting and visibility
Flooring and trip hazards
Bathrooms
Kitchens
Storage
Furniture layouts
Doorways and access
Handles and hardware
Mobility considerations
Future adaptations
Dementia-friendly design considerations where appropriate
Recommendations can be incorporated into a renovation or planned progressively over time.
The aim is not to make your home look institutional.
It's to create a beautiful home that quietly supports you.
New Home and Apartment Design
Create your new home around the way you actually want to live.
Moving into a new house or apartment is an opportunity to think carefully about how you want your next home to work.
We can help you plan the interior before you move in, ensuring furniture, storage, layout and design decisions work together from the beginning.
Services can include:
Space planning
Furniture layouts
Furniture selection
Storage planning
Bespoke joinery
Colour and finishes
Lighting
Window treatments
Artwork and accessories
Kitchen and bathroom improvements
Future accessibility considerations
Whether your new home is larger, smaller or simply different, we help make the most of the space available.
