Services
To provide tailored support for your project, I offer my expertise in two key areas: as your project advocate, I can guide you through every step of the process; as a creative designer, I can help you bring your vision to life with personalised design solutions.
Process
Stage One
At the initial stage of your project, we will work closely with you to understand your vision and objectives. This involves an initial consultation to discuss your project in detail. We will also review any initial plans or ideas you may have and ask you questions to gain a better understanding of your vision. If necessary, we’ll schedule a site visit to assess the property and get a better sense of the space.
1. Spatial planning
2. Concept design
3. Selection of finishes, fixtures and joinery
4. Technical drawings and schedule
5. Selections of furniture, artwork and accessories
6. Ongoing support
Stage Two
Based on the information we’ve gathered from our consultation and site visit, we’ll work with you to define the scope of work for your project. This will include identifying your key project goals and requirements, as well as any constraints or challenges that may impact the project.
Stage Three
After defining the scope of work for your project, we move on to stage three: completion of works. Our team will work diligently to ensure that the project is completed to the highest standard. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way and address any concerns you may have, ensuring that you’re completely satisfied with the finished works.
Profile
Hi there, I’m Allie, the founder and creative director of Koselig Design Studio. I believe that great design is born from collaboration, and I’m passionate about guiding others in creating spaces that bring them a feeling of deep contentment, happiness, and personal well-being.
As a qualified interior decorator with six years of personal experience in renovating and building my own homes, I know how overwhelming building and renovating can be. That’s why I’m here to help you navigate the process from start to finish or assist you as needed.
My approach is holistic, and I’ll look at your whole project to help guide you through the potential pathways; with a special interest in sustainability and ethics, I aim to educate my clients on best practices to help them make more informed decisions about their home projects.
And as for the name “Koselig” – it’s a Norwegian word that translates to “cosy” or “warm,” which perfectly reflects my design philosophy. Pronounced “koosh-lee,” it’s a reminder that a well-designed space should not only look beautiful but also feel inviting and comfortable.
Experience
Project Brief
To undertake a knockdown and rebuild project located in a prime location with direct access to a beautiful park. While the existing structure was barely liveable, the location and potential of the site make it an ideal candidate for a full rebuild. To ensure optimal natural light and energy efficiency, the project should address the design challenges posed by the south-facing aspect of the site, while also maximising park views and incorporating outdoor living spaces, and the interior design should prioritise functionality and flow with ample storage and living spaces to meet the needs of a modern family.

TESTIMONIALS
“I cannot recommend Allie highly enough for her work on my floorplan review and guidance on our initial design. Her attention to detail, creative ideas, and willingness to listen to my needs and preferences were invaluable. Her expertise in interiors and ability to envision the final result made the entire process a joy. I would highly recommend Allie to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and dedicated interior designer.”
Floorplan Review, Consulting, and Lighting Plan
“I had the pleasure of working with Allie on a 3D SketchUp Design and Joinery project, and I could not have been more impressed with their expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail. Allie was able to take my ideas and vision and turn them into a stunning reality, creating a design that perfectly captured my personal style and needs. Her skillful use of SketchUp allowed me to see the finished product before construction even began, which gave me a sense of confidence and excitement for the final result.”

“I recently worked with Allie on my bathroom renovation, and I cannot speak highly enough of her knowledge and guidance. Allie was able to provide invaluable advice and insights throughout the entire process, from the initial planning stages to the final execution. Her ability to understand my needs and personal style were exceptional, and her recommendations and suggestions greatly improved the functionality and aesthetics of my space, before it was even built! Would 100% work with her again.”
