The kitchen is the hardest-working room in the home. It's where the day starts, where everyone gathers and where guests inevitably end up. From our studio in Norwest, Sage Interior Design Studio designs kitchens for homes across Sydney, from new builds in the Hills District to renovations in the Eastern Suburbs and on the Northern Beaches. Start with how you live Before we talk materials, we look at how your household actually uses the space: who cooks, where the family gathe

A well-designed bathroom balances everyday function with a sense of retreat. At Sage Interior Design Studio, we design ensuites, family bathrooms and powder rooms for homes across Sydney, with every detail considered from the layout through to the last tap. Layout comes first Where the shower, vanity and toilet sit, how natural light enters and how the room is ventilated all shape how a bathroom feels to use. Small layout changes can make a big difference, especially in tight

Building a new home in the Hills District is an exciting process, but it comes with hundreds of decisions. Bringing an interior designer in early helps you make the most of your builder's plans and avoid costly changes later. Get involved before plans are locked in The earlier we're involved, the more value we can add. Reviewing the plans before construction lets us refine kitchen and bathroom layouts, plan joinery and storage, and position lighting and power so everything wo

A home bar or entertaining space is the perfect opportunity to create a room with real atmosphere. Clients increasingly want a space that feels like a wow moment: moody, sophisticated and a little bit dramatic. Embrace darker colours Deep tones such as charcoal, inky navy, forest green, oxblood and rich timber create intimacy and depth. Using colour across walls, joinery and even the ceiling makes the space feel enveloping and intentional. Layer rich materials Textured and re

One of the first questions clients ask is how much interior design costs. The honest answer is that it depends on the size and scope of your project, but understanding how fees are structured will help you plan your budget with confidence. How interior designers charge Most Sydney interior designers charge in one of three ways: an hourly rate, a fixed fee for a defined scope, or a percentage of the overall project cost. Many studios use a combination, for example a fixed fee

The kitchen island is often the centrepiece of the home, and choosing the stone for it is one of the biggest decisions in any kitchen renovation. Dolomite, marble and sintered stone are three of the most popular choices we specify. Here's how they compare. Marble Natural marble is timeless and beautifully veined, with a depth that's hard to replicate. It's softer and more porous than other options, so it can etch from acidic foods like lemon juice and wine and needs regular s

Many people aren't sure what an interior designer does beyond choosing colours and furniture. On a renovation or new build, a good interior designer is involved in much more, from layout and joinery through to documentation and coordination with your builder. Design direction and layout We start by understanding how you live, what you love and your budget. From there we review the layout and develop a design direction for the whole home, so every space feels connected and con

For busy families, a well-designed mudroom and laundry can be the hardest-working space in the house. It's where school bags, sports gear, wet towels and shoes land, and when it's planned properly it keeps the rest of the home calm and clutter-free. Plan around how your family actually lives We start by looking at the daily routine. Where do the kids come in after school? Where does the dog get washed? Where does pool gear dry? The answers shape the layout, storage and finish

Coastal homes are some of the most rewarding projects we work on. Across Sydney's Northern Beaches and harbourside suburbs, clients want a home that feels relaxed and connected to the water, but still polished enough to feel considered and lasting. Getting that balance right is where good interior design makes the difference. Start with light and flow Coastal living is about light, breeze and easy movement between inside and out. We look at how natural light moves through the

The powder room is one of the smallest rooms in the house, but it's often the one guests remember most. Because it's compact and used for short visits, it's the perfect place to be a little bolder with stone, colour, lighting and tapware. Go bold with stone or tile A feature stone vanity top or a full stone wall can transform a powder room. Deep greens, veined marbles and richly coloured stone all work well in a small space because you only need a modest amount of material. F

Lighting is one of the most overlooked parts of a renovation or new build, yet it has a huge impact on how a home looks and feels. A detailed lighting and electrical plan, coordinated with your reflected ceiling plan (RCP), should be resolved well before construction starts. Getting it right on paper saves money on site Once walls are lined and ceilings are set, moving a downlight, power point or switch becomes expensive and disruptive. Documenting every fitting, switch and p
