Kristen Sharkie styling warm modern living room floral arrangement

Story

For ten years, Dear Design has helped Melbourne homeowners turn ideas into spaces that actually feel like home.

Based in Williamstown and working across Melbourne, Dear Design was founded on a simple belief: every home should feel calm, considered, and deeply personal, a place that truly supports the life lived in it.

A decade in, that hasn’t changed. What has is the trust built along the way. Today, much of Dear Design’s work comes through referral, real estate agents, buyers advocates, builders, and developers who know the result will be right, every time.

At Dear Design, we offer a considered range of interior styling services from in-home consultations through to full styling, home edits, and VIP shopping days.

Our approach is calm, collaborative, and deeply human. We design spaces that are beautiful, functional, and tailored to real life, so the journey feels supported, and the result feels like home.

Whether you’re refreshing a single room, settling into a new home, or ready to reimagine the space you already live in, Dear Design is here to help you create a home that’s considered, cohesive, and completely yours.

“I work with people who value beautiful, well-considered homes but don’t have the time to manage all the decisions themselves. My role is to bring clarity and cohesion, turning ideas into calm, elevated spaces that feel complete.”
— Kristen Sharkie, Creative Director of Dear Design
