ABOUT
Lume Design was FORMED in 2009 and was later joined by sister company, Interiors by Lume in 2014. In 2018 Lume Design and Interiors by Lume made the natural step to become one after collaborating on many projects.
Creating beautiful spaces is at the core of what we do. We believe that great design is a process of communication, inspiration, experience and restraint. We understand the profound impact good design has on the success of all architecture, interiors and landscapes.
Working collaboratively with our clients we take great pride in every project, always striving to produce designs that celebrate the architecture and enhance the liveability of each space.
