Kitchen, Bathroom and Laundry Design Melbourne
Practical and thoughtful design for the rooms that work hardest
Kitchens, bathrooms and laundries should be designed to optimise functionality and efficiency, making less enviable household tasks feel easier and, in many cases, more enjoyable. Sally can work with you to custom-design your floor plans and provide recommendations for storage, cabinetry, appliances, benchtops, flooring, sinks, tapware, tiles and lighting solutions.
Sally’s approach to high-investment room design
While every home has at least one kitchen, bathroom and laundry, not every household uses them the same way. Guided by the realities of how you and your family operate day-to-day, Sally is invested in tailoring a design that will accommodate and adapt to your lifestyle.
Contemporary kitchen design
An intelligent kitchen design is developed with efficiency and functionality at the forefront and delivered using high-quality fixtures and finishes. Spatial planning is key, and Sally diligently adheres to building industry guidelines and standards while creating contemporary, concise, and beautifully laid-out kitchens.

Materiality underpins luxury kitchen design and influences how well a space performs across its lifespan. Sally reviews each element, from stone and timber to hardware, lighting, joinery details and splashback selections, bringing refined finishes together with functional intent.
