OUR STORY

Established in 2014, Lounge Around is a Sth East Melbourne based boutique Interior Design & Styling service providing ideas and inspirations to suit your individual taste.  Specialising in residential & commercial interior styling, colour consulting and de-cluttering.  


Lounge Around began when Jess the head designer saw a need in the market for styling homes.  People often have a vision of what they would like a space to look or feel like, but are unsure how to pull it together successfully.  LA help their clients make decisions and invest their dollars wisely to create a beautiful outcome they will love everyday.


Whether your looking at selling your home, re-painting, injecting new life into a favourite space, decorating an extension or renovation, or developing a scheme for a new build.  LA can help pull the design threads together to create a cohesive, visually satisfying space to live in and love everyday.


Understanding the significance of a great home’s internal spaces, we appreciate that the interior design process can be overwhelming. “Decisions made on a home’s interior are decisions made on the spaces in which we will live, relax and entertain. “Then there are the limitless combinations of colour palettes, finishings and fixtures available. Yet through knowledge, creativity and close consultation with the client, we can ensure every room works well, feels great and is a reflection of their individual taste.


In line with Lounge Around’s commitment to achieving the best possible end result inside and out, Lounge Around's’ approach goes beyond offering token choices of set colour palettes. Working together with each client, we discuss a comprehensive set of considerations from fixtures and finishing options through to floor plans and furniture configurations.


The Lounge Around team has relationships with a diverse range of trade only suppliers including local and international designers, artists and craftsmen.  Every project is unique and we will tailor our services to suit your individual requirements. 


As for Lounge Around’s own signature style, Jess describes the Lounge Around style as “an oasis of calm where contemporary design meets a world of natural textures, elegant living and relaxed sophistication.  Our natural classic look always evokes calm and cohesiveness, however knowing how to achieve this whilst integrating existing interiors can be a challenge.  Our in house styling service is designed to help you through the process, whether it be a seasonal re-vamp or a complete interior makeover.  


Our qualified professionals are committed in creating beautiful, functional spaces which reflects on our client’s personality and style, whilst respecting your budget.  We believe a successful design not only has to look amazing, it needs to fit in with your lifestyle and provide enjoyment for years to come.  Let us 'listen' to you along the design process and create a space which is specifically tailored to you and your lifestyle.


Interpreting our client's personal style and the practical needs of the project is a huge factor in any design project.  Before deciding on your Interior Designer, you need to make sure they are  a perfect fit for you.  To get to know us a little more please have a further read below.
