The Design Journey
Building or renovating a prestigious home involves countless decisions and competing demands. Having delivered many distinctive projects spanning over 25 years, Tennille understands the value of time and tranquillity, taking charge of the finer details from early concepts through to coordination with architects, builders and artisans. Clients gain access to a trusted network of makers, suppliers, and trade-only exclusivity, securing furnishings and finishes that are rarely available to the public. Tennille Joy Interiors offers curated design services from custom kitchen designs to bespoke window furnishings. Every selection is made with intention, creating beautifully layered interiors that are a joy to live in.
Full Service Interior Design
Tennille Joy Interiors delivers end-to-end design services for renovations, extensions and new builds, ensuring every element aligns with your vision and architectural intent. The studio works closely with architects, builders and trades, whether you bring your own team or draw on Tennille’s trusted network. Her extensive materials library underpins each project, which is continually refreshed with innovative products, finishes and design solutions.
Modern bathrooms require careful consideration of proportions and flow. Partnering with skilled craftspeople and selecting the highest-quality materials, Tennille’s bathroom designs strike a balance between elegance, ritual, and restoration.
The kitchen is the heart of a home, a place to gather and connect. Luxury kitchen design extends beyond appliances to consider how the space is used. With layered lighting, bespoke details and personal touches, Tennille creates kitchens that serve as a functional focal point and a refined expression of style.
Tennille Joy Interiors creates efficient and elegant laundry designs by considering workflow, appliance placement, storage, ventilation, and durable finishes. Each laundry is bespoke to the household’s needs with thoughtful inclusions and enduring style.
Custom cabinetry should be as practical as it is beautiful. We design custom cabinetry that reflects clients' lifestyles, from wardrobes and wine cellars to intelligent hidden storage. Sophisticated finishes and balanced proportions ensure cabinetry integrates into life at home.
With long-standing relationships across Melbourne and worldwide, Tennille has an intuitive eye for furniture that is personal and cohesive in the overall design. Fabrics and finishes are explored together in curated sourcing sessions, ensuring every detail aligns with the client and home’s vision.
Window treatments complete a space, adding polish, controlling light, protecting privacy, and improving energy efficiency, acoustics, and convenience through motorisation. Tennille Joy Interiors collaborates with Melbourne’s finest workrooms to design unique window treatments that complement architecture and enhance the character of every room.
Lighting shapes the mood and functionality of a home. We consider natural and artificial light, layering ambient, task and feature lighting to enhance both architecture and lifestyle. Each scheme balances proportion, technology and artistry, ensuring spaces feel inviting, practical and exquisite at every hour.
Interior decoration and styling are the final touches that define a home's individuality. Tennille Joy Interiors curates rugs, art and decor in collaboration with artists and makers, integrating new pieces with heirlooms to create focal points that draw the eye and bring each space to life.
“Whatever the inspiration, true beauty endures. It is simple, authentic, and functional. The moment you see your space — and feel that it is an extension of you — then we have done our job.”
— Tennille Joy
