Residential and commercial interior design as unique as Newcastle

NEWCASTLE

INTERIOR DESIGNER

Your interior designer should be making it all about Newcastle

Julie Evans is a commercial and residential interior designer servicing the Newcastle, NSW area. Newcastle is Australia's second oldest city and is a beautiful New South Wales coastal area, approximately two hours north of Sydney. Newcastle sits within the state's second most populated region encompassing itself along with Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley.

Interior design styles that are unique for you, your space and Newcastle

Our approach is different to most. Just like you are unique, and so is your space - so too is our interior design approach and our interior design services. We don't roll out the same style for every job and we don't make our work about us. We don't have a shop full of stock that we need to sell so we push it all onto our customers whether it's right for them or not. We don't have a cookie cutter approach to our work where every design journey is the same.

 

My job is to bring together the potential of your space with its inherent residential or commercial function and combine with that your personal style preferences into a harmonious solution that makes your heart sing.

Choosing the interior design style for your Newcastle home and knowing it's right

Newcastle kitchens and bathrooms

Newcastle  homewares

No matter where you are in Newcastle, where do you source your homewares, art, furnishings and interior decor pieces? 

Buy locally in Newcastle but beware the risks

You can buy local, but there can be risks. Do the stores carry stock that match your interior design style? Can you buy what you want, or only what they sell? Will you end up with what everyone else has in Newcastle?

Want to lower your risk? Try my Let's Shop service where I ride-along with you on a shopping trip and you can buy with confidence with the support of a Professional.

Buy outside of Newcastle from my suppliers and bank the savings

The better option is to buy through my Furniture and Art Finder service. I have access to many incredible suppliers, many of whom only sell wholesale to trade and do not sell to retail, so you won’t find their products in any store. Your homewares won't be the same as everyone else in Newcastle.

Your budget will go further, because I pass 100% of my trade discount to you, meaning your dollar goes further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How much does interior design cost?

Interior design costs can vary depending on the size and number of spaces you want to work on, the extent or scope of work to be conducted and the speed at which you wish the work to be done. As a rule, it’s best to allocate a percentage of overall project budget to interior design, to create the plan on which your execution will be based. Julie Evans Design is one of the few interior designers who passes on the full trade discount to her clients, so that her fees are frequently recouped – often at a multiple – by the savings her clients make allowing them to stretch or save their budget as they like.

Question: Does Julie Evans Design do residential or commercial interior design?

Yes, Julie Evans Design does both residential and commercial interior design. We started our interior design business in 2014, and over that time we have gained extensive experience with client projects in both residential and commercial fields.

Question: Why hire an interior designer?

An interior designer is an expert on your side, working for you. They’re a professional, trained in their field with knowledge specific to their profession that others don’t have. An interior designer should save you money, or at least not cost your budget more. Their expertise extends to knowing where you can save with value options, to free up your budget to focus on areas or pieces that matter most. An interior designer will save you time through their project management skills, and because they work on projects like yours all day, every day. An interior designer knows how to bring the wow factor to your space if that’s what you’re looking for, and have resources and contacts to call on to bring your project to completion.

Question: How well does Julie Evans Design know Newcastle?

I know Newcastle really well. I've lived and worked here for over 25 years. I've raised my children here. I know it and love it like the Novocastrian I am. As an interior designer my job is to bring the function and design aesthetic of your space(s) together in harmony, to reflect your lifestyle and the very special and unique coastal environment that Newcastle is famous for.

Question: How do you make your money as an interior designer?

I charge a fee for service that's clear and presented upfront and totally transparent. From the very beginning of working with me you'll know my costs. You won't find surprises along the way and I don't make hidden commissions anywhere. I don’t have a homewares shop with stock that I’m trying to sell to you at a profit. I don’t make a commission from my suppliers and their prices aren't marked up to you when you buy from them. Your happiness, satisfaction and delight is my only goal.

Question: Can I work with you on interior design but buy my furnishings and decor items locally?

Yes of course you can. Buying locally makes sense - it keeps money in the economy, it keeps people employed and it supports local business. But here's the thing and I know this because like you I live in Newcastle... choice and range aren't great and because of that, you can end up with the same pieces that everyone else has and is that what you really want? Also do you want to buy what you can get in Newcastle or do you want to buy what you love? When you buy through me from my suppliers you can be pretty sure it will be unique to you, and I pass on 100% of the wholesale price or trade discount to you. That means I'm impartial - I don't make anything off what you buy, and you bank the savings. It's totally up to you.
