Your space is always speaking to you.
The question is, what is it saying?
INSPIRING SENSORY-LED INTERIOR DESIGN
I’ve always felt spaces before I’ve seen them.
The quality of light as you walk through a door. The way certain textures soften a room. The subtle shift that happens when everything in a space is finally working together, when a room stops competing for your attention and simply holds you.
That sensitivity is at the heart of everything I design.
My work is for the woman who can feel the gap between the home she has and the one she’s been quietly imagining. And for the hospitality brand that understands their space is their guest experience and wants every detail to honour that.
You deserve an environment that works for you. That’s what I’m here to create.
You are in the right place if...
You walk into your home and feel a quiet tension rather than relief.
You know your space could feel better, you just don't know where to start.
You've tried adding more - more furniture, more décor and it still doesn't feel right.
You're an accommodation host who wants guests to feel genuinely cared for from the moment they arrive.
You believe that how a space feels is just as important as how it looks.
You're ready to stop tolerating a space that doesn't support you and start living in one that does.
tHERE ARE TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH ME...
Both rooted in the same sensory-led philosophy, tailored to where you are and what you need.
"When I design a space, I don't start with what looks beautiful. I start with what feels beautiful." — Michelle Canny

Whether you’re refining a single room, designing a boutique accommodation or creating a wellness focused retreat space, Michelle approaches ever project through the lens of sensory experience.
Each space is carefully considered through, texture, lighting, material choices, spatial flow, atmosphere and emotional connection.
The result?
Spaces that don’t just photograph beautifully but genuinely support the people within them.
Based in Sydney it made it tricky for us to come up at the drop of a hat to help with the project. Michelle single handedly managed the whole process from clearing the old furniture from the unit, accepting all the deliveries of new furniture and then assembling and styling the space with new furniture and styling items. Michelle stuck to our budget and kept us well informed throughout the project. She exceeded our expectations in every way and created a home away from home for us to enjoy.”
She kept us up to date with regular communication, alerting us to construction issues, providing design advice and progress photos that greatly reassured us. The finishes that Michelle achieved with the suppliers is outstanding and surpassed our high expectations. We highly recommend working with Michelle on any project you have, large or small. She's great.”
I would recommend Michelle without hesitation to anyone that wants to create a special space and doesn't have the skill or knowledge to do it on their own. You won't get a cookie cutter design or a "gone fishing" sign in your beach house! I look forward to working with Michelle again in the near future when I build my own home.
Thank you Michelle, you are wonderful!”
Michelle went above and beyond in what we agreed to and we deeply appreciate her commitment. When we considered Michelle's modest fee and the really beautiful end result, it was well worth, what we consider (as a percentage of the total renovation) a small investment to have our place looking and feeling like "our place" and something we will love for years to come.”
I love the end result- it is stunning. With an incredibly bust life I couldn't have survived without Michelle. From selection, to ordering to delivery and styling Michelle covers everything.
A pleasure to work with. Highly recommend.”
