About Gary

I'm a Brisbane-based interior designer specialising in creating beautiful and functional spaces for homes and apartments across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast.

My approach is centred on enhancing your life by designing spaces that not only look great but also feel right for how you live. I focus on understanding your lifestyle, ensuring each room reflects your personality and meets your needs. To me, design goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating environments where you feel calm, happy, and truly at home.

Listening to clients is at the heart of what I do. I work to balance different ideas and preferences within a household, helping to create spaces that feel harmonious and welcoming for everyone.

My design philosophy is rooted in timeless style. I prioritise lasting, personal designs over fleeting trends, so your home feels fresh and inviting for years to come. I’m committed to making interior design a positive, accessible experience for everyone.

Interior Decorating Services in Ascot

At Gary Hamer Interior Design, we specialise in interior decorating, helping you to create a cohesive and stylish look for your home. Our services in Ascot and the surrounding suburbs of Brisbane include:

  • Furniture selection

    One key to creating cohesive and functional spaces is furniture selection. Our process includes detailed interior space planning, by creating furniture arrangements that enhance flow and maximise space in both indoor and outdoor areas. With access to exclusive trade agencies and discounts around Ascot, we bring a wider selection of quality pieces that suit any design style, from contemporary to timeless. We also specialise in custom-designed furniture to fit specific needs, such as entertainment units, storage cabinets, and shelving. For outdoor areas, we source furniture and planters tailored for balconies, decks, and small gardens, creating inviting outdoor spaces that extend your living area seamlessly.

  • Soft furnishings

    Soft furnishings add warmth, texture, and personality to any room, making it feel like home. We offer a curated selection of fabrics, rugs, and home accessories that complement your style and colour scheme. Our services extend to window treatments, including tailored curtains and blinds that add both elegance and functionality. Ambient lighting, such as floor and table lamps, is carefully selected to create the perfect mood in each room. Additionally, we assist with sourcing unique art pieces, scatter cushions, bed linen, and interior accessories that add those final, personalised touches, transforming your space into a beautifully layered environment.

  • Window treatments

    Our window furnishing service includes the design and selection of custom blinds, curtains, and shutters that are both practical and stylish. We work with a network of specialist suppliers to bring you high-quality fabric options for tailored curtains that enhance your home’s ambience and style. From roller blinds and venetians to custom-made shutters, we have options to suit every preference and functionality. For a modern touch, we also offer motorised and automated window coverings, as well as outdoor blinds and awnings, enabling you to control privacy and light with ease while seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces.

  • Rugs and artworks

    Essential elements that bring warmth, personality, and cohesion to a room are rugs and artwork. We offer a curated selection of custom rugs and unique art pieces that fit seamlessly with your design style, adding depth and character to your spaces. Rugs define areas within a room and tie together furnishings, and we assist in selecting the right size, texture, and colour to complement your decor. With exclusive access to trade-only agencies, we can source distinctive rugs and artwork options not available to the public. Our art selection service spans high-quality prints, original works, and custom commissions tailored to your vision. We manage framing, professional hanging, and placement to ensure each piece is displayed at its best, creating a home that feels both curated and personally expressive.

Furnish Your Home Services

Do you want to save money on furniture while receiving expert interior design advice in Ascot? Our "Furnish Your Home" service is designed to be stylish and cost-effective. 

We source and purchase furniture on your behalf at trade pricing, passing a portion of those discounts back to you. This not only offsets the cost of our fees but also provides you with access to a much wider range of furniture than is available to the general public.

How I Work

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.
