Southport Interior Designer & Decorator

Southport is one of the Gold Coast’s most dynamic suburbs, blending a bustling CBD with waterfront parklands and vibrant cultural life. At Gary Hamer Interiors, we create interiors that reflect this unique mix of urban convenience and coastal charm. Whether you live in a high-rise apartment overlooking the Broadwater, a modern townhouse, or a family home in Southport’s residential streets, we design spaces that are stylish, functional, and tailored to your lifestyle.

With more than 18 years of experience across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Gary specialises in timeless interiors that feel welcoming and practical. From complete home furnishing to small decorating updates, our services ensure your home is cohesive and comfortable.

 

About Gary

I am a Brisbane-based interior designer passionate about transforming homes into spaces that feel both beautiful and livable. My projects span Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast, with many happy clients in Southport.

My design philosophy goes beyond appearances. I believe interiors should flow, feel balanced, and reflect your lifestyle. By listening carefully to your goals, I design homes that feel right, not just styled for show. I focus on timeless, elegant design choices that stand the test of time, while making the process approachable and enjoyable.

How I Work

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We begin with a detailed discussion to understand your ideas, the scope of the project, and your budget. The initial consultation costs $495 (inc GST) and includes a two-hour meeting at your home in Hamilton.

Step 2: Design Proposal

For larger projects, I provide a Scope of Services and Fee Proposal detailing the work and associated costs. Once agreed upon, I will create a Design Schedule outlining space plans, item descriptions, images, and fees.

Step 3: Concept Presentation

We present the design concepts at your home, incorporating your feedback to ensure the final design meets your expectations.

Step 4: Implementation

Upon approval, we implement the design, ordering furniture and collaborating with trusted professionals for custom pieces, window treatments, and other enhancements.
