Colours & Finishes
We create cohesive material palettes that connect your home visually and practically. From surfaces and textures to cabinetry and fixtures, every selection is considered in context so it works with your layout, lighting, and lifestyle. Read More
We start with the floor plan, not the sofa, because if the layout doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter how it looks.
Good design supports how you live every day, that’s why our decisions are guided by function, not guesswork.

Jan created beautiful spaces in our new town house from a plain hue to something carrismatic and stylish that reflected a new phase in our lives, using quality finishes within our budget.

AJ AJ
I booked Jan for an In-home consultation as I needed some help with choosing paint colours and how to apply them to the space. Jan provided not just advice on colours and placement, but also had some excellent suggestions for furniture arrangement. Thankyou, Jan, your professional eye.

Mark LeBusque
Jan is incredible to work with, and has led the way in styling our new purchase in Victor Harbour. Jan’s ability to thoroughly research the layout to maximise the space and create a feeling of ‘being at home’ is unparalleled. We’ve worked with Jan on both the design of our home in Brunswick West and our AirBnb in Victor Harbor SA.

Sean Hua
Jan is the best companion to soundboard ideas with. Loved all the suggestions and lively discussion to figure out what worked best for this house. We got 3d models, options for materials and paints, furniture, landscaping and more. We also got options at differing price ranges to help us understand our options.

The Hue & Space team have been invaluable in helping me renovate my property while I’m living overseas. Jan has an extensive network of trades at her disposal and has made the whole process as smooth as possible. Finding reliable Melbourne Interior designers like Hue and Space was perfect.

Regina Roberts
Jan @ Hue and Space offers a great service. Upon reviewing our renovation plans, she suggested some design changes which will definitely have a positive impact the flow and use of the space. I appreciated that I wasn't locked into a pricey contract, but could use her expertise when I needed it most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—interior designers are especially valuable in small spaces where every centimetre matters. We optimise layout, improve flow, and ensure furniture is correctly scaled so rooms feel larger and more functional, not cramped.

Interior design costs in Melbourne vary depending on the scope of work and level of service. Some designers charge hourly rates, while others offer fixed fees for stages like concept design or space planning.
At Hue & Space, we start with an in-home consultation and then tailor our services to suit your project. Investing in professional design often saves money by avoiding layout mistakes, incorrect purchases, and costly changes during renovation.
We don’t just make things look good — we make sure your home works properly for how you actually live.
-
Yes—working with an interior designer before renovating helps prevent expensive mistakes and improves the final result. Key decisions like layout, lighting placement, and kitchen configuration are difficult to change once construction begins.
By planning early, you ensure your home functions properly, your budget is allocated effectively, and your builder can quote more accurately with fewer variations.
-
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. A single room or concept design may take a few weeks, while a full home renovation or detailed design can take several months.
Clear planning at the beginning—especially floor plans and selections—helps reduce delays during construction and keeps the project running smoothly.
-
An interior designer plans how your home works before deciding how it looks. This includes reviewing floor plans, improving layout and flow, selecting materials and finishes, designing joinery, and coordinating with trades.
At Hue & Space, we focus on creating a technically sound foundation so your home feels effortless to use, not just visually appealing.
At Hue & Space, we focus on creating a technically sound design first—so your furniture fits, your storage works, your lighting is correctly placed, and your home supports how you live day to day. The end result isn’t just a beautiful space—it’s one that feels effortless to use.
-
Yes—an interior designer can save you time, money, and costly mistakes while delivering a better overall result. Poor layout decisions, incorrect furniture sizing, and last-minute changes during renovation often cost more than the design fee itself.
A well-planned design ensures your home functions properly, feels cohesive, and adds long-term value—both in how you live and in resale appeal.
Working with an interior designer at the planning stage ensures your floor plan supports real life, your budget is allocated correctly, and your home is designed with both function and aesthetics in mind from the start. It also helps your builder quote more accurately and reduces changes during construction.
Hue and Space: How These Terms Relate to Interior Design.
Hue and Space are two fundamental elements in interior design because they shape a space's aesthetics, functionality, and emotion.
“Hue” is simply the basic name of a colour — like red, blue, green or yellow — before you add shades, tints or tones.
"Space" refers to the physical area within a room. How it’s laid out, how it's used, and how it feels to move around in.
As Melbourne Interior Designers, we believe that thoughtful space planning and skilful use of colour can transform any room into a beautiful and functional space for its occupants.
