Tamara Gillies - Founder, Brisbane based Interior Designer, Decorator & Stylist Diploma of Interior Design / Undergraduate Student of BA Residential Interior Design at Torrens University.

Hi I’m Tamara,

Lover of interiors, architecture, the arts, Australian flora and fauna, and that first sip of coffee in the morning.

I am not only driven by minimizing our environmental impact and waste within the Design industry, but as a human being and single parent, I am deeply motivated by the interconnected challenges of climate change and humanity. I strive to live a life that is a little slower, more mindful, free from clutter and excess ‘stuff’.

Nature is the most essential part of my aesthetic for an indoor-outdoor connection and sustainable lifestyle which can be integrated into any style you love.

I am passionate about creating healthy design solutions through a holistic approach with purposeful designed and curated spaces while bringing the concept of nature to improve your wellbeing with Biophilic Design.

What is Biophilic Design?

Services

Designing a home is one thing. Understanding designing a home can be more complex and why it matters to get it right the first time. From concept design down to the design detail in your cabinetry joinery, Interior Imprint will navigate you through the complexities of Interior Design.

The eco-design movement is not ‘new’. What is new are the number of ways in which our houses can be made sustainable from reclaimed, recycled and reconstituted materials, and biomaterials.

Whether you are building new or renovating, your home is a form of self-expression and is saying something about the people who live, and work there. Home should make life easier, enable you to slow down and allow you to simply just ‘be’…

Servicing Brisbane for Residential & Small Commercial Projects

Following our initial phone call, the next step is to book a one-on-one consultation to understand your needs, preferences, aesthetics and requirements ror your project. I will come to you either at home on on-site. A $200 Fee is rebated against my Interior Design or Interior Styling Services.
Designing for a low environmental impact means choosing quality over quantity and classics over what’s ‘on current trend’. However, this can be an integration of the two. My goal is to blend sustainability, aesthetics and functionality that reflects your personality and style. The more natural materials and elements, you bring into your space, the more you feel connected to nature and happier.
Not sure what your style is or what inspires you? Whether you are a home owner or renting, I will show you how to embrace your individuality without compromizing on sustainability, budget and style through careful curation of items to elevate your space while contributing to the overall style.
Searching for that elusive colour? Colour is not just about decorating. The transformative power of colour can enhance positive emotions and increase wellbeing to support your needs.
From remote to Australia wide, I can assist you with colour schemes, or materials selections, to furniture selection and floor plan concept.
