House To Home
House To Home is a series where I will personally design people’s homes. This is a Design Service where I will develop a full design concept, space plan, source furniture, purchase, and style the space.
You must be in Sydney (North Shore, Hills District & Northern Beaches) or NSW (Central Coast & Newcastle) to apply.
If you are outside of this area, I am unfortunately unable to serve you due to longer commute times.
Please note that you will only hear from us if your home has been chosen to be featured on the Reynard Lowell Youtube channel.
Kindly read the FAQ below prior to registering your interest.

You must be able to hire someone to do stuff that may be part of a home makeover such as painting walls, building flat pack furnitures, hanging curtains, light fixtures, and artworks. Alternatively, if you're comfortable doing them yourself, you're welcome to do so.
You must be in Sydney (North Shore, Hills District & Northern Beaches) or NSW (Central Coast Only).
You must have a reasonable budget. Refer to the tab below for budget expectations.

There are a lot of variables that affects how much it cost to decorate/furnish a room or a home. Some things to consider: The size of the room, whether you have existing furniture that can be incorporated into the new room, and if you need to get any work done (i.e. window treatments).
Generally, you can expect anywhere from $15k to furnish a 1-bedroom apartment from scratch, excluding appliances and electronics, and using mostly budget or flat pack furnitures.
Of course, the range above no longer apply if you have your eyes on that designer coffee table that cost $2,000 (which is totally okay!).
To give a better illustration, let’s take the following calculations (numbers are in Australian dollars):
Bedroom
Mattress - $900
Bedframe - $1,200
2x Bedside Table - $600
2x Lamps - $300
Total = $3,000Living Room
Sofa - $2,600
Coffee Table - $600
Rug - $800
TV Unit - $800
2x Lamps - $500
Total = $5,300Dining Area
Dining Table - $900
4x Dining Chairs - $900
Sideboard/Buffet - $700
Total = $2,500Extras
Curtains - $2,000
Study Desk - $600
Desk Chair - $300
Mirror - $300
Total = $3,200Just using the above estimate puts us at a total of $14,000 - excluding decor (plants, books, vases, cushions), trade/install, and various delivery fees.
You are more than welcome to source secondhand and vintage pieces on your own, and I'm more than happy to help you incorporate them into your home.

House To Home is exactly that - it is a paid client project.
One of the requirement of working with me is for me to be able to share the process in both video and photo format. This allowed us to share and inspire people out there, and make good design more accessible to everyone.
