Ivy & Piper is an interior design studio rooted in creativity and a passion for crafting interiors that truly reflect their owners’ unique lifestyles and tastes. Led by founder Melanie Parker, the studio is known for creating highly decorative, considered spaces that feel personal, timeless, and thoughtfully curated.
The Ivy + Piper design ethos is that the most beautiful and functional interiors are tastefully curated over time into sophisticated spaces that reflect the unique life story of its owners.
Our role as designer and decorator is to design unique interiors using the highest quality pieces and finishes to create masterful spaces reflective of the clients tastes and lifestyle.
Melanie believes the best way to achieve a truly enduring and timeless interior is through the unique Ivy and Piper ‘master plan’ method. This is a holistic approach and involves developing a comprehensive scope of works and facilitating this work on time and within budget.
Ivy + Piper works with clients to manage every aspect of their project to ensure a stress free build, renovation or redecoration. Their team extends beyond themselves to incorporate their own network of top industry specialists and artisans who help them bring dreams to life. Their team includes, draftsmen, builders, painters, electricians and other vital construction trades through to decorative artisans and upholsterers, international designer textiles and globally sourced homewares and antiques.
In pursuit of perfection for their clients, there is nothing Ivy + Piper can’t create and this is evident in their ever growing portfolio of residential and commercial design projects. Their design philosophy merges beauty with elegance regardless of theme and the result is polished, high end interior spaces with their trademark flair for unexpected style.
Founded in Brisbane, the business has expanded to include a studio location in Toowoomba that is now able to service clients across South East Queensland and beyond.
Meet Melanie Parker
‘Home’ is a concept more than a word and one that is essential to my design approach. I take a client’s beloved house and infuse it with the essence of them. Weaving past, present and future into the floors, walls and furnishings.
I am inspired by my clients themselves. Often a concept blooms through conversation, a picture, their garden, a story or an heirloom. I work to build on a thread of inspiration, bringing spaces to life with a curation of collected items, new treasures, colour and pattern. It is important to me that not only does a space function and look incredible, but that it feels right. This heart of a home is what I strive for.
