HOW WE CAN
WORK together
Design that turns dreams into
plans and a designer home into reality.
Every home tells a different story. What feels right for one family may not suit another — and that’s what excites me. Your home should reflect your values, passions, and aesthetic ideals while becoming a place of comfort, connection, and inspiration.
Beyond being a beautiful physical space, your home can serve as a sanctuary — a backdrop to life’s changing seasons. A place to grow, evolve, and make memories with the people you love most.
Do you picture the kitchen as the true heart of your home, or do you imagine gathering in a cosy lounge? Is your garden your sanctuary, or do you crave a peaceful nook for yoga at sunrise and a firepit to gather around at night? My role is to uncover what matters most to you and translate that into a space that feels authentically yours.
At Amanda Kate Design, I honour this bond between you and your home. I see design not just as creating rooms, but as crafting environments that nurture your soul, elevate your lifestyle, and spark moments of unfiltered joy.
So, welcome to my world — where design goes beyond the ordinary. Together, we’ll shape a home that reflects who you are, reimagine what’s possible, and infuse your life with beauty, clarity, and meaning.

Take your Design Clarity Session further with a tailored Design + Concept Package. This is where your vision is refined into a cohesive design direction — layouts, finishes, and selections brought together with confidence and clarity.
In this design only package, I work alongside you as your advisor, guiding key decisions and simplifying the overwhelm. Together, we shape a clear concept that reflects your lifestyle and vision.
The outcome? A complete Design Handover Pack — ready to pass on to your builder or trades so your project moves forward with certainty, without dragging out the design process.

Design + Concept
package.
01
I will kickstart our design journey by inviting you to complete a comprehensive design questionnaire. This allows me to gain valuable insights into your preferences, style, and project requirements.
Design Questionnaire
The process is designed to be collaborative, transparent, and tailored to your unique needs — giving you clarity and confidence at every step.
Rather than taking on every detail of execution, my role is to simplify your decisions, protect your vision, and connect you with the right expertise to bring it to life. This ensures your renovation or build feels seamless and enjoyable, without the overwhelm.
Experience the power of Design Advisory and step into your project knowing you have expert guidance, trusted connections, and a clear path to creating the home of your dreams.

During the initial consultation, I conduct a site measure and discuss project details onsite. This collaborative meeting provides an opportunity for me to understand your vision and requirements in depth.

Following the initial consultation, I present you with a detailed scope of works and fee proposal tailored to your project. This transparent breakdown outlines the tasks involved and associated costs, ensuring clarity and alignment from the outset.

We develop 1–2 moodboards and a concept design package that captures your style and vision. This includes proposed layouts and finishes, refined through one revision to ensure clarity and direction before moving forward.
Conceptual Design Process
05
Once your concept is finalised, I provide a complete pack for your builder and joiner to quote and deliver. From here, the trades take over — with clarity and confidence to bring your vision to life.
Design Handover

At this stage, I step back and your builder and joiner take the lead. With your Design Handover Pack in hand, they have everything needed to quote, plan, and execute with confidence. My role is complete — your vision is now in the capable hands of the trades.
Implementation and Build
07
When the build is complete, I’d love to come and see how your home has taken shape. Watching the design journey unfold into reality is one of the most rewarding parts of the process.
Project Completion & Handover
Designing or renovating your home is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming. With hundreds of decisions, endless options, and the challenge of knowing which trades you actually need to get your project over the line, it’s easy to lose confidence.
That’s where I step in. My role is to give you clarity, confidence, and connection so every step of your project feels lighter, easier, and aligned to your vision. I don’t just design — I guide and advise so you know you’re always on the right path.
THE POWER OF DESIGN ADVISORY
:+ Transformative clarity:
Instead of feeling stuck or second-guessing, you’ll gain a clear vision and confident decisions for your home — from layouts to finishes.

Every home and family is unique. I shape advice around your lifestyle and goals so your home feels deeply personal and intentional
+ Professional Expertise:
With years of experience in interiors, I see opportunities and details you might miss. My role is to simplify choices, prevent costly mistakes, and give you confidence.
+ Simplified Process:
Renovating or building can feel overwhelming. My framework gives you a clear path forward, so you know exactly what steps to take and when.

Great design changes more than a room — it transforms how you live day-to-day. Together, we’ll create spaces that support your wellbeing, flow, and daily ease.
+ Increased Property Value:
Making the right design decisions now not only enhances how you live, but also strengthens your home’s future value.
+ Peace of Mind:
You don’t have to carry the weight of this alone. I’ll guide, oversee, and keep your vision aligned, so you can relax knowing you’re supported.
In summary, my Design Advisory is more than advice — it’s clarity, confidence, and the peace of mind that every choice you make is the right one for you and your home.
Are you ready to move forward with clarity, confidence, and ease?
How my design advisory helps you
Amanda Beckmann
From the youngest age I have been immersed in the world of renovating and reinventing homes. Often that meant I grew up in the worst house on a very beautiful street but even as a little girl I marvelled at my parents visionary approach to life as they could always see such incredible potential in homes - what they could become when the right changes were made - what transformations were just within reach when hard work and passion combined. I loved being part of that hustle, that feeling that we were on our way to creating something unique and special and that with time, we too would have an amazing home in an incredible location.

"We're incredibly grateful to have found Amanda. Amanda worked with us to design our new home for renovation. She helped us all the way through from design to build including working out the best floorplan, colours, material selections and trades to work with. We are so happy with the renovations and our new home! She took on our ideas and style working to build the best outcome for us. Amanda has helped us to create a flowing, spacious, practical and beautiful home. Thank you!! "
Kate & Andy
"Amanda and her Team of highly skilled and professional trades do an outstanding job in everything they touch.
Amanda has amazing style and an incredible insight into design; she manages the project from start to finish with poise and grace.
An absolute pleasure to deal with and I will work with Amanda again!
Dave Sherlock
"We bought a house and wanted to LOVE it as soon as I moved in, not when you go to sell it and get it ready for someone else.
Amanda listens to everything, takes it in, digest it and comes back with the most amazing designs!
At no time have I ever felt unheard or pressured but actually completely relaxed, excited and elated with the entire process.
Not only that she hired trades, organised timelines, kept them moving and all on the tightest timeline ever.
She has been a godsend!"
Emma and Mark
"We were well overdue to paint the exterior of our beloved 1920s house. Paint choices are endless not to mention those tiny little paint squares. I found myself losing confidence and running round in circles. Then I found Amanda. She immediately understood what I wanted and pulled out the exact colours I’d been dreaming of. Amanda has an encyclopedic knowledge of colour. She has an amazing eye, communication skills and directs you towards the outcome you want…but better. She is positive, energetic and reliable - maybe even a tiny bit magic"
