Hope Island Interior Designer & Decorator

At Gary Hamer Interior Design, we create interiors that feel lived-in, practical, and quietly refined. For homeowners in Hope Island and the Northern Gold Coast, we offer bespoke interior design and decoration services that centre around how you live, not just how things look.

About Gary

I’m Gary, an experienced interior designer working closely with homeowners across Hope Island and the surrounding coastal areas. My approach is highly collaborative, and I believe good design starts with careful listening.

Every home I design reflects the people who live in it. Whether you’re drawn to classic coastal elements, contemporary minimalism, or eclectic touches, I’ll work with you to create interiors that suit your pace, personality, and practical needs.

My role is to guide you through choices large and small — helping to bring cohesion to your ideas while managing the design process in a structured and supportive way.

Tailored Interior Design for Hope Island Homes

Whether you’re furnishing a new home, updating a tired room, or rethinking your layout completely, we provide flexible services to suit the stage and scale of your project.

From space planning and colour coordination to sourcing furnishings and handling installations, our design support is both comprehensive and personal.

Furniture Planning & Spatial Design in Hope Island

Great interiors begin with good bones. We help you create floor plans that work — whether you live in a modern canal-front home, a low-maintenance villa, or a luxury apartment.

Furniture placement, traffic flow, and the purpose of each room are considered before we select key pieces. We’ll suggest items that align with your visual preferences and spatial needs, often sourcing through exclusive trade-only suppliers to unlock higher-quality options.

For Hope Island homes that blend indoor and outdoor living, we can also include recommendations for alfresco furniture — designed to withstand the elements without sacrificing style.

Lighting, Fabrics & Decorative Styling

Subtle touches like a well-placed lamp, textured upholstery, or layered window treatments can shift a space from flat to inviting.

As your interior decorator in Hope Island, I’ll guide you through selecting fabric schemes, lighting combinations, and accent elements that complement your palette and architecture.

From pendant lights and bespoke drapery to cushions, rugs, and art placement, I focus on layering texture, tone, and function in a way that feels cohesive, calm, and considered.

Custom Curtains & Blinds

Light control, privacy, and visual softness are all achieved through quality window furnishings. We provide expert advice on curtains and blinds, collaborating with leading local makers to deliver customised results for your space.

Whether you prefer blockout options for bedrooms or sheer fabrics that filter natural light in your main living areas, we’ll make sure the style and operation suit your lifestyle and layout.

For Hope Island homes with larger glass doors or open-plan designs, we also offer guidance on exterior shading solutions that visually tie in with your interior palette.

Art, Rugs & Accessories

The last details often make the biggest difference. We support you in selecting artwork, decor, and accessories that feel authentic to your home.

From helping source original Australian art to coordinating custom rug sizing and placement, we assist in making your space feel complete — never cluttered.

This is where your personality really shows through. These finishing touches are carefully layered to ensure your home feels intentional, welcoming, and genuinely yours.

Home Furnishing Service in Hope Island – Save Time & Avoid Overwhelm

If you’re furnishing a new property or starting fresh after renovations, our all-in-one furnishing package may be a perfect fit.

We handle the full process: sourcing furniture, placing orders, coordinating delivery, and setting everything up — so you don’t have to manage multiple suppliers or waste time scrolling for inspiration.

Thanks to our trade network, we also offer below-retail pricing on a wide range of high-end products. You’ll end up with a professionally designed home, without the hidden costs or stress of going it alone.

Our Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Our first meeting involves a detailed discussion to establish a design brief based on your ideas, the scope of work required, and your budget. This initial consultation costs $495 (inc GST), includes travel to and from your home in Ascot, and a 2-hour consultation.

Step 2: Design Process

For larger projects, I will provide a Scope of Services and Fee proposal outlining the work and associated costs. Once agreed, I will develop and present a Design Schedule, which includes space plans, item descriptions, images, and fees.

Step 3: Concept Presentation

We will meet at your home to review the design concepts in detail. Adjustments can be made to ensure the final design meets your expectations.

Step 4: Your Completed Space

Once the design is approved, we implement the plan. For decoration projects, we order furniture and collaborate with professionals for custom furniture, window furnishings, painting, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We’re experienced in working across various budgets and always aim to prioritise high-impact decisions. Where possible, we use trade discounts to reduce overall spend.
