Rutherford Interiors is a Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula interior design studio creating highly considered, individual interiors for residential, retail, hospitality and commercial projects.
Creative, collaborative and internationally inspired, our interior designers work closely with every client to create spaces that are beautiful, functional and distinctly personal.
We believe exceptional interior design begins with listening.
Rather than approaching a project with a predetermined style, we take the time to understand our clients, how they live or work, their individual aesthetic, their practical requirements and what they want their space to feel like.
From contemporary new builds and complete home renovations to heritage residences, furniture sourcing, retail interiors, hospitality venues and commercial spaces, every Rutherford Interiors project begins with the client and a carefully considered brief.
From Concept to Completion
Our approach brings together creativity with the technical knowledge required to turn an idea into a beautifully resolved interior.
Our experienced Melbourne interior design team provides a comprehensive service encompassing interior architecture, spatial planning, technical drawings, kitchen and bathroom design, custom joinery, material and finish selections, colour consultation, lighting, furniture sourcing, art selection, styling and renovation management.
From the initial concept through to the final layer of furniture and styling, we can guide our clients through the entire interior design process.
The result is a more enjoyable and collaborative design experience, with one considered vision carried through every stage of the project.
Residential Interior Design
A home should be a reflection of the people who live there.
Our residential interior design work across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula includes new homes, renovations, heritage residences, contemporary additions and complete interior transformations.
We consider how a home needs to function just as carefully as how it looks and feels. Spatial planning, natural light, colour, materials, furniture, storage, joinery and the smaller details are brought together to create interiors that feel effortless, individual and made for real life.
Whether you are building a new home, renovating an existing property or looking for an interior designer to help with furniture, art and styling, our service can be tailored to the scale and needs of your project.
Commercial, Retail & Hospitality Interior Design
Great commercial interior design should communicate who you are before a word is spoken.
We work with businesses across Melbourne and beyond to create retail, hospitality and commercial interiors that balance brand identity, customer experience, functionality and beautiful design.
We immerse ourselves in each brand, its audience and its environment to create spaces with a genuine sense of identity and place.
From boutique retail and jewellery stores to hospitality and commercial environments, we consider every element of the experience, including spatial planning, customer flow, custom joinery, lighting, colour, materials, furniture and styling.
The objective is not simply to create a beautiful commercial interior. It is to create a memorable space that works for the business and connects with the people who experience it.
A Creative Eye. A Technical Foundation. A Personal Approach.
Our designers are known for an impeccable eye for colour, finishes, furniture and styling, supported by strong technical drawing, spatial planning and project knowledge.
Colour psychology is a particular strength of the studio and forms part of our broader understanding of how colour, materiality, proportion and light influence the way a space looks, feels and functions.
We celebrate design diversity rather than subscribing to one signature aesthetic. Contemporary, classic, heritage, eclectic, colourful or quietly refined, our role is to uncover what feels authentic to each client and translate that into an interior with personality, longevity and purpose.
It is your space, your story and your style. Our role is to bring it beautifully to life.
Our work has been published and featured both in Australia and internationally, including The Design Files, House & Garden, Architectural Digest, Hunting for George, UK Top Homes and Grand Designs.
