about Dianne

Picture the day your renovation is complete.

Look around. Your home is beautiful.

Planning it all before work started has paid off. Deadlines were met, your budget intact.

This could easily be your story.

​

Now, let's get started...

Bringing a beautiful and functional design together is the most rewarding part of my profession. It's been a lifelong interest.

After studying Interior Design and working on different types of projects, I now specialise in residential extensions and renovations.

 

I live in Glen Iris with my husband and son.

testimonials

Dianne's natural ability to tune into the needs of her clients and deliver a colour palette or design vision is exemplary. Dianne did the colours for our housing renovation in Northcote several years ago and we were more than happy with the results. Dianne takes time to get to know who she is working with so she can plan her approach from the inside out. She starts the right conversations and listens intently to get the information she needs before any work begins. Her ideas are refreshingly individual and borne out of both passion and experience. I have seen many examples of Dianne's work since she worked on our house and they are all a credit to her talent and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Dianne Palmer Design."
