ABOUT
Natalie is an experienced designer and creative, with qualifications in both Industrial and Interior Design, and close to 20 years working as a designer.
Natalie established her own studio, Linnea Design in 2021, honouring her Scandinavian heritage by using her middle name Linnea for her business.
Based on the Mid North Coast of NSW, her work spans high-end residential, multi-residential, aged care and commercial interiors.
Guided by a maker’s philosophy, she champions original design, craftsmanship, and the ethos of ‘buy once, buy well’—creating timeless spaces that are both functional and deeply personal.
Based on the Mid North Coast of NSW, the stunning and diverse environment is reflected in the studio’s design sensibilities, where the importance of volume, texture, light and colour, architecture and object combine to create something truly special.
Working collaboratively with our clients is key to our creative process. We take the time to understand your lifestyle and dreams, aesthetic and style.
We encourage you to dream big and love the process of helping you articulate your vision. With our breadth of industry knowledge, we are here to support you in making informed decisions.
We place great importance on honest, sophisticated interior design where subtle, bespoke details combine with old and new to create carefully considered, beautiful spaces.
We love working with materials suited to decades of wear, natural stone, timber, brass and copper - materials that patina and grow more beautiful with age.
