Owner & Head Of Design
With 30 years in the Interior industry, Joanne has completed homes both nationally and internationally along with various corporate build and fit out projects, of varying size. She is heavily involved in every project, from initial client meeting to final handover.
Building lasting relationships with their clients and understanding their brief, is key to delivering a project which meets expectations, is delivered on time, and within budget. Every project is about people first.
The Team
The team is kept small and hands on so that the focus is on offering a personalised one-on-one service. Every project is about people first and understanding their lives and needs, in order to deliver homes and spaces that are considered, functional and timeless.
How We Work
Projects are not approached in a one-size fits all manner. Each client is different, therefore the way they are approached is specific to each brief and the scope of works.
Our Philosophy
To quote renowned furniture designer Charles Eames: “Design is an expression of purpose and it may (if designed well) later be judged as art."
The goal when taking on a new Interior project is to provide the client with a timeless solution that is functional but 100% focused on comfort, and has taken the client's needs, lifestyle, and budget into account.
There’s a saying that very much depicts the way they approach their Interior projects: "One basic principle of good design is that form follows function".
Whilst we live in an era of consumerism and most consumers want to achieve a look at the minimum price, Taylored Spaces believes it should never be at the cost of quality. Buy the best that your budget allows for, even if that means you buy less. Also – don’t buy to fill space. Buy with purpose. Buy quality and buy pieces that you believe to be beautiful too.
Trends are short-lived and thus have little long-term value. Furniture which is made consciously, with attention to detail and quality finishes, will last the test of time.
The studio supports local makers and craftsmen and have longstanding relationships with their contractors and manufacturers. It is these relationships that enable them to deliver projects on time and with confidence in their longstanding appeal and value.

Joanne has helped me realise more projects than I can remember, and her unending creativity and passion for what she does is rarely found. She will find creative solutions to just about any space problem, sourcing unique pieces, fabrics and finishes to pull together interiors that really feel like home and have lasted for years.
Above all, she listens without prejudice or prescription, offering her advice without being dismissive of differing opinions. That said, she has also saved me an absolute fortune by helping me to avoid inapproriate paint colours and fabric! Apart from her obvious skill and truckloads of experience, she is, quite simply, a wonderful person to work with and wholly invested in the creation of spaces that her clients will love. No matter how big or small the project, she will always make me feel like I am her only client. I quite frankly, don't think I would ever entrust my home to anyone else.Georgina Howden

Joanne is a master of her craft: listening to understand her clients then delivering a brief and end-result that wows. She’s a magician interpreter, without her I would still be chasing my tail trying to choose a paint colour or tile! I loved Joanne’s straight talking and practical approach, she was incredibly patient in helping me navigate different possibilities yet didn’t let me stray too far from the original design brief and intent. She presented different budget options based on our discussions (and there were many) and that gave me the freedom to make the final decision. Joanne is an absolute pleasure to work with!

I recently completed a full renovation with Joanne, who handled both the interior design and overall project management, and the entire experience was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.
From the very beginning, she truly understood my vision and remained aligned with it throughout the project. She was always mindful of my budget and made sure we stayed on track without compromising on quality or style. I felt involved in all the key decisions, but once decisions were made, she took care of everything seamlessly.
Joanne coordinated and met with all suppliers on site, managing every detail with professionalism and ease. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
Renovations are notorious for delays, yet everything promised was delivered within the agreed timeframe. That level of reliability is rare and deeply appreciated.
I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a designer and project manager who is talented, organised, and genuinely invested in her clients. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future.Thomas Strijp

I have known and worked with Joanne in many reno projects, big and small, and am consistently blown away by her creative flair and attention to detail. She works with a team of consummate professionals who plan meticulously and manage setbacks with ease. Her work is of the highest standard and she won’t rest until things are perfect, and I always feel like I am her only client :) Pictures simply don’t do justice!
