Relocating to Melbourne from Sydney, Brisbane, Perth or Overseas: Your New Home, Beautifully Furnished and Ready to Enjoy

Moving to a new city is an exciting new chapter, but setting up an entire home can feel overwhelming, particularly when you’re managing the move from interstate or overseas.

Finding the right furniture, organising deliveries, arranging trades and making design decisions from a distance takes considerable time and planning. And when you’re moving somewhere new, knowing which local suppliers to trust can be another challenge.

At Lisa Hunter Interiors, we specialise in helping individuals, couples and families relocating to Melbourne create beautifully furnished homes, without having to manage the entire process themselves.

Through our Signature Furnish & Style service, we take care of everything from the initial design concept and furniture selections through to procurement, installation and those all-important finishing touches. Our aim is simple: to have your new home beautifully furnished and ready for you to enjoy.

A Personal Approach to Furnishing Your New Home

Whether you’re returning to Australia after years overseas, relocating for work or making a fresh start in Melbourne, we understand that your new home needs to reflect more than just your personal style.

It needs to work for the way you live.

We begin by getting to know you, your family, your lifestyle and how you envisage living in your new home. We discuss the furniture you already own, the pieces you’d like to invest in and the overall look and feel you want to achieve.

From there, we develop a considered design concept that brings together furniture, rugs, lighting, artwork, window furnishings and accessories, ensuring every room feels connected while still having its own personality.

Whether we’re furnishing an entire property from scratch or incorporating much-loved pieces you’ve brought with you, our approach is always personal and tailored to your needs.

Your Melbourne Interior Designer, Even When You’re Miles Away

One of the biggest advantages of working with a local interior designer is having someone you trust to manage the details when you can’t be there yourself.

We regularly work with clients who are still living interstate or overseas, managing much of the design process remotely through video calls, design presentations and regular communication.

With our established network of trusted furniture suppliers, local makers and experienced trades, we can coordinate everything from property measurements and furniture sourcing to deliveries, installation and final styling.

We also have access to an extensive range of quality Australian furniture brands, along with custom furniture makers and specialist suppliers, allowing us to source pieces that suit your home, lifestyle and investment.

For our clients, this means fewer decisions to juggle, less time spent researching suppliers and the reassurance that someone experienced is looking after the details here in Melbourne.

From an Empty House to a Beautifully Furnished Home

There’s a considerable difference between moving into a house filled with furniture and arriving at a home that has been thoughtfully designed for you.

Our furnishing and styling service considers the complete picture, from how furniture fits within each room to the finer details that make everyday living more comfortable.

We manage the ordering and coordination of your furniture and furnishings, work with our suppliers to organise deliveries and oversee the installation and styling of your home.

That might mean having your living room ready for family evenings, your dining room furnished for entertaining or your bedrooms beautifully dressed and ready for a good night’s sleep.

Artwork is hung, rugs are positioned, furniture is arranged, and the finishing touches are in place.

It’s this attention to detail that allows our clients to arrive and begin enjoying their new home, rather than spending their first few weeks surrounded by boxes and waiting for furniture deliveries.
