Bespoke homes for effortless living

YDM Design Studio is a Melbourne-based boutique interior design studio specialising in residential renovations with one main goal: to help you live your life as effortlessly as possible.

 

We believe that our homes can have one of the biggest impacts on us - on our wellbeing, our goals, and our lifestyle. We work with clients who are serious about creating long-term and forever homes that seamlessly blend aesthetics and functionality to improve the lives of those living there. Our design philosophy has a strong focus on creating wellbeing-focused and environmentally conscious interiors that are personal, inviting and fun.

If you're planning a new build, renovation or extension - we are here to help from the very start until the very end.

We offer a number of services from floorplan reviews, to documentation sets and full design packages. If you're thinking about taking on a Passive House, high-performance or sustainable build, we can help you design a home that is not only tailored to your life and goals, but that is also better for you and for the environment. 

Are you a builder? We'd love to collaborate with you!

Not sure where to start? Our free curated guide walks you through all the key selections for your kitchen, bathroom and laundry — helping you feel calm, clear, and confident every step of the way.
 

From tapware to tiles, benchtops to lighting, you’ll have everything you need to make thoughtful decisions that align with your lifestyle, not just the latest trends.

Meet Nina

Hi! I’m Nina, the proud founder of YDM Design Studio. 

 

YDM Design Studio was born out of my love for interiors and my passion for helping people. Our work and design philosophy are heavily influenced by my experiences growing up. As someone who has lived in over 20 houses and has a history of anxiety, I have become passionate (often obsessively so) about understanding how our environment influences our wellbeing. I’m very determined, organised and a forever learner, which has become a winning combination not only in running this business, but in setting and achieving other personal goals. Now I want to use this knowledge, my love for interior design and my 10+ years of experience in the industry, to help my clients create their dream life - not just their dream homes.

What our clients are saying

"Thank you YDM design studio for producing our fabulous bathroom/laundry. Nina listened to our brief and developed a wonderful colour palate for us. Timelines and process were clear for first time renovators like ourselves. Would happily recommend Nina and her team."
