Your home should look like you. Not a display home, not the trend cycle, and definitely not beige by default.

Finding your authentic style can feel like a maze, so here's the map: live honestly, collect shamelessly, spot the patterns, respect your architecture, experiment, and call in backup when you need it.

Or skip the maze entirely. The Reading reveals your design archetype in three minutes, and it's free.

Full guide in my blog and The Reading are via the link in bio. Tell me in the comments which step you've been skipping.

Beige is banned. Luxury is Law. Apply Within.

Follow for expert design tips and a home that's unmistakably, unapologetically YOU. Personality not optional.

Plush Design Interiors is an interior architecture and interior design studio in Aldgate, Adelaide Hills. We design bold, intentional homes that look like the people who live in them, not a page torn from a catalogue.

Should you move the plumbing in your bathroom renovation? Here's the truth.

Keeping bathroom plumbing in place can save money — but only if the layout actually works. If your toilet is the first thing you see, your shower blocks the light, or the whole room feels off, no amount of beautiful tiles will fix it. Learn exactly when to keep plumbing where it is, and when moving it is the smarter investment.

Comment 'bathroom reno' and I'll send you a link to my blog post explaining the truth you need to know.

Falling in love with a kitchen splashback is easy. Fixing a bad floor plan after settlement is expensive. Before you buy, an interior designer can assess light and orientation, identify layout problems, spot renovation potential and tell you whether a home can actually work for your life. Read all about it on our blog.

A vague one-page renovation quote isn't efficient — it's a financial risk. Before you sign anything, your design-build proposal must include a detailed scope of works, transparent pricing broken down by trade, clear inclusions and exclusions, a variation process, and a payment schedule tied to actual progress. Miss any of these and budget blowouts follow. https://www.plushdesigninteriors.com.au/blog/builder-proof-renovation-checklist

Colour isn't what makes a room look bad — randomness, weak lighting and poor proportions do. Start with a statement rug to build your palette, add lamps and cushions before committing to paint, and stop matching everything to death. Confident colour is layered, intentional and personal. https://www.plushdesigninteriors.com.au/blog/designer-approved-colour-confidence-in-australia

If you've never been to Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary in the Adelaide Hills, between Aldgate and Mylor, this long weekend is a great time to visit. I live in Aldgate and can highly recommend this wonderful sanctuary. Take a picnic or sit in the cafe with the native birds.

Can You Renovate a Bathroom Without Moving Plumbing? (And When You Absolutely Should)

The cost-saving myth that could quietly ruin your bathroom - and how to get it right the first time. Ah yes - the great Australian renovation reflex: “Don’t move the plumbing, it’s too expensive.”

And look… sometimes that’s true.

But sometimes? It’s the design equivalent of keeping a bad haircut because the scissors were pricey.

There are two types of bathroom renovations:

Ones designed with intention… and ones held hostage by existing plumbing.

And somehow, far too many people are out here spending $40K designing around a pipe like it’s a sacred artefact.

Let me be clear—your bathroom layout shouldn’t be dictated by a decision made 20 years ago by someone who thought one downlight was “plenty.” READ the full article on my BLOG.

Okay, consider this your renovation intervention.
Before you call a builder. Before you get quotes. Before you do anything — read this post. https://www.plushdesigninteriors.com.au/blog/renovation-mistakes-australia-top-10-fixes
I've pulled together the 10 most common renovation mistakes Australian homeowners make (all confirmed by a rather traumatic Reddit thread), ranked them, and — crucially — documented the actual fixes. Not vague advice like "communicate clearly with your tradie." Real, actionable, protect-yourself-before-you-sign-anything advice.
Things like: why "builders range" in a quote should give you pause. What PC and PS items actually mean and why they can blow your budget without anyone technically lying to you. And why the cheapest quote is almost never the cheapest renovation.
Bookmark this one. Share it with anyone who has a renovation on the horizon. It might save them a lot of money and a lot of stress. https://www.plushdesigninteriors.com.au/blog/renovation-mistakes-australia-top-10-fixes

Our clients didn't use this second living/dining space because they didn't know how to make it work. We redesigned it with custom furniture and custom cushions, wallpaper, window treatments, and lighting.

A cosy space for two beside the wood heater included swivel chairs for easily joining the separate conversation zone.

Now they LOVE it, use it, and can't imagine why they waited so long to engage an interior designer to help them live better.

Given their love of colour, we are excited to now be redesigning their kitchen, laundry, and guest bathroom. Stay tuned for THAT reveal 😄✨️💕
