Let’s Craft Your Design Story

At Kim Black Design, we believe your home should tell your unique story. Every space we design & decorate is carefully curated to evoke comfort, intention and beauty—rooted in your lifestyle, values, and aspirations. Whether you’re seeking to refresh a single room or undergo a full-home renovation, our approach is guided by listening deeply and designing with intention.

We serve clients from Byron Bay to Brisbane and the Sunny coast, offering a full range of interior design services—from colour consultation and furniture sourcing to space planning and full residential renovations. With an emphasis on timeless materials, natural textures, and custom details, our designs are always original (just like you!). We work closely with you to create interiors that feel personal, functional, and aligned with your lifestyle.

The team brings a thoughtful sensibility and years of experience to every project. Our design philosophy is rooted in the idea that our spaces can restore us and reflect the essence of who we are. Whether you lean toward minimalist warmth, collected charm, or a blend of old and new, Kim Black Design will develop a deep understanding of how to bring your vision to life—artfully and authentically.

Our design process is both intuitive and structured, making it easy for clients to feel confident and supported every step of the way. Through collaborative design sessions, curated selections, and vendor relationships, KBD can help you move from inspiration to transformation with ease and clarity.

If you’re ready to transform your home into a sanctuary—one that reflects your style and nurtures your well-being—we’d love to talk.

Whether you’re renovating, furnishing, or simply need a fresh perspective, Kim is here to create something uniquely yours.

We hired Kim for the recent refurbishment of our Master Bedroom and found her delightful to work with. Kim listened thoughtfully to our ideas and requirements and presented us with several options including concepts we hadn’t considered. Communication was always timely and clear. Several price options were offered for most items which afforded us to allocate our budget most efficiently. Kim was wonderful to work with and we look forward to working with her again in the near future.
