BEGIN HERE

LUXURY INTERIOR DESIGNER DARWIN

Your first step toward a home or business that reflects your success and your story.

Why we start here

At JMJ Interiors, design is deeply personal — and so is choosing the right designer to bring your vision to life.

That’s why every project begins with a brief, obligation-free conversation. This is your opportunity to share what you’re dreaming of, ask questions, and explore how we can work together to create something extraordinary.

We call it Begin Here, because it’s more than just a call — it’s the start of a transformative journey.

What to expect

This is not a pitch, and it’s not a commitment.

Instead, this is a professional introduction. In about 15–20 minutes, we’ll:

Our goal is to give you clarity, confidence, and a sense of whether JMJ Interiors is the right fit for your needs and your vision.

FAQ's

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend reaching out as soon as you start planning your project — even if construction or your move is months away. This ensures we can secure your spot in our calendar and be involved early enough to make the biggest impact.

Do you only work in Darwin?

While we’re proudly based in Darwin, we work with clients across Australia and beyond. If you have a project outside of Darwin, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we can discuss what’s possible.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

We specialise in high-end residential interiors and select boutique commercial spaces. Whether it’s a full home design, renovation, styling, or a commercial fit-out, we tailor each project to the client’s vision and priorities.

Do you work with my builder or architect?

Yes — we collaborate seamlessly with your existing team. If you don’t yet have a builder or architect, we can recommend trusted professionals we’ve worked with before.

What if I don’t know my style yet?

That’s completely fine — and more common than you think. Part of our process is helping you clarify your vision and refine it into a cohesive, timeless design.

Is there a minimum investment for working with JMJ Interiors?

We take on projects that align with our full-service, high-touch process. During your Begin Here call, we’ll discuss your priorities and budget to ensure we’re the right fit before moving forward.

What happens after the Begin Here call?

If we’re aligned, we’ll book your in-depth consultation and begin developing your bespoke design proposal, outlining the full scope, timeline, and investment.

Trusted by clients who value results

"We’ve recently done JM’s in-home consult, and all I can say is: money well spent! We asked to focus on floor plans and walked away with some definitive decisions about what should be in and out of scope of a renovation, an indication of ballpark costs (which no builder or draftsperson has been able to give us), and some personal referrals for reputable builders (who were at our place within a day to talk next steps). This advice will ultimately save us thousands of dollars and puts our ideas in reach."

- JESSICA S

"Jan-Marie is amazing! This has to be the best money I’ve spent during my build! I opted for the 2 hour consult as I had a good idea of what I was after but was struggling with bringing it all together and committing to colours. Jan-Marie exceeded my expectations and I walked out of our meeting with 99% of the colours, finishes and style decided on. She was truly amazing, I’d recommend her to anyone. Spend the money, you won’t regret it. "
