Gary Hamer Interior Design

Gary has done an amazing job for us with the interior design of our family home. We have been incredibly reliant on him given that I was Hong Kong based for the duration of the project. Gary excelled at both the creative element, and the project management. His design concept was exactly what we had hoped for and we could not be happier with the end state. Gary’s attention to detail and organised approach made the whole process extremely simple and he was great at keeping us updated and advising of options throughout. His close working collaboration with the building contractors was apparent and key to what was a fantastic outcome. Gary is a true professional who is passionate for design, incredibly diligent, and willing to go above and beyond for his clients.

Gary made the decorating of our new house so easy. He listened to what my vision was and worked with that and provided the best advice to achieve this. Very professional, I would highly recommend Gary .

If you were ever hesitant about engaging an Interior Designer, don’t be. Gary Hamer is a pleasure to work with. He is down to earth, understood the problems I was trying to solve and was incredibly patient. I just didn’t have the skill to create what I needed but thankfully, Gary did. My job requires an acute eye for perfection and I just didn’t know how relax when I got home. Now I feel transformed every time I walk in my door. Relaxation is key and I have clean simple lines where I can slow down and be myself – I’m so happy with my home and with how it makes me feel! My friends have also noticed a change in me, a more relaxed version of who I am. They can see delightful changes in my home but more importantly, the person who lives in it. I can’t believe the transformation and outlook on life when your environment is more in tune with who you are. The results are amazing and it’s just so me! I could never have achieved this without his help, thanks so much Gary!

We were contemplating a major renovation to our Queenslander and had met with architects and builders to discuss our vision. When we received their proposals we realised such an undertaking would involve spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. We did not want to over capitalise and realised our house had all the spaces our family needed. We just needed to determine how we used those spaces, and improve our furniture choices and styling. Enter Gary Hamer! Wow! What a transformation! Gary is a stylish, skilful and talented interior designer with an eye for exquisite design and functionality. Initially, Gary walked through the rooms of our house needing improvement and measured the spaces. We spent time talking about the use for each room, and the look and feel we were wishing to create. Gary then presented us with a floor plan for each space, which we immediately loved! We were so impressed at the consideration and thoughtfulness of Gary’s design. He managed to transform difficult spaces into rooms which flowed seamlessly into one another. Gary then took us shopping so he could see the pieces we were drawn to. He supported our likes and dislikes and encouraged us to choose items we loved. Gary presented us with different budget choices based on furniture we liked, always ensuring his suggestions fit perfectly into our rooms. He guided us with flooring, lighting, paint colours, cabinetry, artwork, rugs, furniture and plants. Once all the pieces had arrived he styled each space, and again, we couldn’t believe how all his final touches improved the spaces. Every room is full of beautiful items to admire. Amazing! Thank you Gary! Gary was so professional and fun to work with at every stage of the process. He has excellent communication skills, is in constant contact with his suppliers, and always relays this information to his clients. We are absolutely thrilled with Gary’s transformation of our home. We love every item selected and how every room flows into the other. When family and friends visit they are so complimentary of Gary’s work and keen to ask him for advice also! We could not have undertaken this process without Gary. His excellence in all aspects of interior design and ability to nurture client relationships is outstanding. We can’t wait to engage Gary’s services again for some exterior work and outdoor spaces.

Gary helped me to furnish and style our home. It was a difficult task given it was not a complete restyle/ refurnish job and I myself am busy and scattered at the best of times. He is a pleasure to be around, us effecient and just an all round great guy. His supplier recommendations and suggestions were on point and we are thrilled with the result. Thanks Gary!

We engaged Gary to assist with decorating our Newstead unit last year. Gary was fabulous! He is SO good at what he does: listening to our vision, learning about our lifestyle needs and creating a space that is both comfortable and beautiful. Gary is very personable and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and love spending time in our city home when we visit from the country. Gary, we look forward to completing the final touches to our unit with you soon.

Dealing with interior designers has often left me disappointed, but dealing with Gary is exactly what I'd hoped for. We wanted good quality advice and a classical, timeless look and we got it. Gary kept me focused during the design process on what we were aiming to achieve. This included shopping trips for furniture, which is not always easy, but he made it enjoyable and successful. Gary is very professional in his field of work.

Gary helped design our bathroom which is a simple understated style perfect for our 70s house! Gary really listened and understood our needs to incorporate it all into a functional stylish design. I really loved the fact he can be sympathetic to the style and age of our home. Can't wait to move forward on our next project!

I was introduced to Gary through my daughter Christina. I was moving into a new apartment on the Gold Coast with no furniture and no idea where to start and was desperate for some help. Gary came to my rescue straight away and came up to speed very quickly with what I wanted to achieve and continues to work tirelessly to achieve the best result for me. Gary provided me with floor plans, furniture options, lighting, flooring options etc. He sourced fabulous furniture very quickly for me which made me very happy. Gary is very professional and warm and his styling is impressive, and he is exceeding my expectations. Gary is a great listener with meticulous attention to detail. I would highly recommend Gary to you. He works so hard to achieve the best result for you and makes the process smooth as well as beings extremely supportive - a pleasure to work with. So grateful.

I cannot recommend Gary Hamer Interior Design highly enough. Gary has turned my cold uninteresting kitchen, living, dining, lounge, media and alfresco areas into warm engaging places that people love being in a moving through - trying out one space and then moving into another. Gary is so easy to work with - very collaborative. Gary takes the time to listen and understand what you are trying to achieve. I also really appreciated that the focus was very much on adding to my existing furniture (most of which I really liked) with pieces that would compliment and work well throughout the spaces. What Gary achieved is far beyond what I imagined and was well within my budget. I moved into my home a couple of years ago. Its bigger than my previous homes and a combination of my own furniture and handed down furniture from parents who were downsizing wasn't working for me. I just couldn't get it right in the large open spaces. I was constantly swapping and moving furniture around, buying new bits and pieces (that didn't really work either). So I decided to bite the bullet and engage Gary. Gary had worked with a couple of friends of mine, on their apartment in New Farm and on their new house in Sherwood. They had been super happy with him and were confident that he could help me out. I had been thinking that replacing the tiles with floorboards and a new kitchen would solve my problem with the house but Gary came up with a much more sensible, appealing and cost effective solution. I cannot begin to describe the difference Gary's recommendations have made to my home. He walked into my home and based on my decorating style, colour palette and furniture preference was able to identify what would work well and ensure I got the best out of the spaces. Gary selected artwork that creates cohesion throughout the spaces. We moved furniture around, added a beautiful new coffee table, added rugs and lounge chairs, side tables, paintings. For the six rooms that are all open and lead to each other, he created beautiful interesting spaces that people really enjoy being in. My nieces and nephews have trouble deciding where to go next and previously, they just wanted an ice-block or to watch Harry Potter. My home just didn't engage with them at all. They now love standing around the coffee table drawing, playing the piano and sitting on the floor cushions and pretending to do yoga poses on my ottoman. Because the spaces invite them in and keep them there. Everyone who has seen my home with all its new additions spend time walking around checking it all out before settling in. Everyone just loves it and have been very complimentary and asking me where everything was purchased and do I think it would work in their place. Obviously I tell them to engage Gary! The compliments they give me are really all Gary's. I could not have done this on my own at all. Gary has a great gift for visualising what will work for you and your lifestyle. I consider what Gary and I achieved a much more successful and much more economical solution to the issues I was having with my home and the living spaces than what I was considering on my own.

My husband and I hired Gary Hamer to advise on and manage the interior design of our apartment, which was drab, worn and dated when we purchased it. Gary transformed the space into a beautiful, modern and livable home which we love. He is professional, highly knowledgeable and has many expert contacts in the industry. All work was done to the highest standards, by highly qualified contractors and suppliers under Gary's supervision. Much of the work on our apartment was done while we were abroad, and we had total confidence that Gary would deliver the results we wanted, in time for our return to Brisbane. He did not let us down. I have no hesitation in recommending Gary Hamer Interior Design.

I consulted Gary Hamer when we moved to a brand new apartment and wanted to upgrade the general look and some of the furniture, plus fit out a home office. I employed him to help with narrowing down options as I had no time to do it. Gary was very helpful. He understood the kinds of things I was after, giving several options for pieces, and did not try to foist his own taste on us. He was clear about his costs and what was covered in his fee, and he complied with the dates we agreed on. He understood our budget, so we didn't waste time looking at things that were out of our range. He was also very professional and pleasant to deal with. Many visitors have commented on how attractive the apartment looks. I would recommend Gary to anyone wanting a small upgrade to a more substantial fit-out.
