We’re so glad you’re here.

It is such a joy for us, Katrina and Millie, to share our passion for design with you. We hope to create spaces that are a true reflection of you, the places you’ve travelled and perhaps the memories and occasions you’ve shared through beautifully detailed interiors, firmly rooted in purpose and longevity.

We like to take on a fully immersive approach - from designing the architecture through to specifying soft furnishings, to dramatically change the way you feel and approach day-to-day life.

The team work collaboratively alongside architects, landscapers and builders who share a commitment to longevity and high quality design solutions that either complete or transform an interior.

  • We had a fantastic experience using The Design Paddock's Interior Design services. Building our forever home from scratch was a daunting experience however Trine and Millie's ability to bring our vision to life made the whole process far easier and more enjoyable.

    Trine and Millie really took the time to understand our brief, and the recommendations they provided us for interior finishes, fixtures and fittings were reflective of this. Eliminating the pressure of having to source the right paint colour or the perfect pendant light meant we could focus on other aspects of life that don't disappear just because you're building a home. We have recommended The Design Paddock to other friends without any reservations and will continue to do so into the future.

  • It has been an absolute pleasure having Millie and Trine on board for this project. My husband and I often say engaging the Design Paddock team was the best decision we made in building our new home. This was our first foray into building and having Millie and Trine onboard helped us create a magnificent home that brought together all of our wishes and at the same time was functional and within our budget.

    With our project there was an enormous amount of work that The Design Paddock did detailing the project prior to actually starting building. We are so grateful for the amount of work Millie and Trine put in in these early stages as this provided the framework for entire process. We totally underestimated the work and planning that is needed in the different stages of the building process.

    The experience and dedication The Design Paddock team brought to our project was of such a high standard which was then set for the build. As the design team worked so closely with the builders and other contractors, they maintained this high standard throughout the different stages. Millie and Trine’s passion for their work is evident in everything that they do, making the progression through the different stages unified and exciting. It has been our pleasure to work with them towards our common goal.  

    We are so proud of new home and have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending The Design Paddock team. It has been a wonderful experience working alongside Millie and Trine, the attention to detail and efficient processes that the Design Paddock utilise made the whole process seamless.

  • Working with The Design Paddock was fantastic! Trine and Millie from day one were on the same page with our design ideas and functionality. Through all aspects of the planning and design process, they communicated well and the result is exactly how we envisaged. The professionalism and design ideas has helped our family farmhouse come to life. With many working parts, it has all been seamless and effortless. They’ve done an amazing job, something we couldn’t have done ourselves!

  • I cannot speak highly enough of Millie and Trine - they helped us with a renovation on our home and could not have been more helpful. Their attention to detail and design quality are exceptional. They were sympathetic to our needs and our budget, not to mention understanding of our style and preferences. They were highly organised and efficient, whilst also being extremely patient. I would highly recommend them to any project - they are a very talented pair and were an absolute delight to work with. I wish them all the very best.
