Melissa Slade, Interior Designer
Creating a home that you’re inspired to wake up to and may never want to leave.
My philosophy
I believe that great interior design should go beyond aesthetics to improve the way you live.
From quiet morning rituals to laughter around the dinner table, understanding your vision and how you want to feel helps me fashion a home rich in personal meaning.
My style
I favour natural, relaxed and minimal design that invites a sense of calm into the home. I don’t buy into the idea that bigger equals better, in fact, clever compact spaces with a strong sense of order really light me up. And while my title says interior, I always design with the outdoors in mind for a light-filled and connected finish that flows with your lifestyle.
My background
Based in beautiful Port Lincoln, I’ve gathered over 15 years of experience in creating bespoke residential interiors for busy homeowners. I’ve designed retreat-like bedrooms, modern bathrooms, chef-worthy kitchens and everything in between.
I graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor of Interior Design from the University of South Australia and am trained in all aspects of interior architecture including residential, retail, commercial, office and workplace design.
I have great relationships with other home decorating and design specialists in Port Lincoln including architects, builders, cabinet makers and furniture designers, and am happy to offer introductions or collaborate with your preferred build team.
