About Us

Together, Julie Stackpole and Richard Elmsly bring over 60 combined years of experience across interior design and residential renovation. Julie has an intuitive ability to interpret and elevate her clients’ vision into beautifully refined, cohesive interiors, while Richard brings practical expertise, strong organisational and planning capability, and established relationships with trusted trades and suppliers.

As a team, they offer considered, independent guidance to support confident, well-informed decision-making at every stage. Their focus is to ensure each renovation is not only visually compelling, but thoughtfully resolved, carefully executed, and aligned with long-term value.

With a deep understanding of the South East Queensland property market — including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast — they remain closely connected to current trends, buyer expectations, and investment drivers. Through ongoing engagement with industry events, developers, builders and product specialists, they ensure every recommendation is both current and commercially considered.

With a calm, measured approach, Julie and Richard work closely with you to bring clarity to the process, minimise costly missteps, and deliver a result that feels both effortless and enduring — a home that is as rewarding to live in as it is to invest in.
