Quoted after we talk, because one room and a whole floor are different jobs. The fee is for design and styling; furniture, decor, trades and delivery are paid separately. My fee is for the eye and the hunt, so it doesn't shrink when I find you the perfect $40 table.

A family bathroom and powder room: grey walls, black tiles and a cabinet vanity, reimagined in warm limewash with a freestanding bath, a timber vanity, brass tapware and linen at the window.
Drag to compare. Concept image, generated to show the direction; your Vision is designed for your room.

About
I love beautiful houses. I just think you should be able to live in them.
I'd rather design your life into your home than style all the evidence of it out.
If you have four dog beds, we'll find a way for four dog beds to belong. If someone in your house loves their recliner, I'm not arriving with a skip bin and a lecture about good taste.
Your home has to work when nobody is taking its picture. We're making your house yours.
I'm Meg, and I started Meg Mac Style because I wanted to create homes that feel like the people who actually live there. Not like my house. Not like a showroom. And not like a photograph of a house where apparently nobody owns a phone charger.
I love interiors magazines and design books. I love extraordinary homes and new ideas. What I don't love is the way they can make a perfectly normal home, and the perfectly normal life happening inside it, feel somehow less than.
If bags land at the front door every day, we'll give them somewhere to land. If everyone gravitates to one end of the kitchen when friends come over, I want to know why. That's design information.
I love seeing what's new in design, but a trend has to earn its place in your home. If something new is beautiful, works for the way you live and will still make sense when the algorithm has moved on, I'm all for it. Sometimes that means investing in something beautiful you'll keep for years. Sometimes it means moving the chair you already own and realising it was never the wrong chair. I like old things with new things, expensive things with ordinary things, and a little bit of oddness when a room needs it.
Before interiors, I spent years as an academic and educational researcher. It might seem like a dramatic career change, but a lot of what I learned has followed me here. I listen. I ask a lot of questions. I notice things. I'm curious about people and how they live.
You don't need to know your design style before we start. You don't need to clear everything out. And you definitely don't need to hand me your house and get mine back.

From $1,500 for up to eight guests Introductory price
For a table of up to eight. I come over and go through your cupboards for the pieces you love but never use. I design the table around them, source the vintage and new pieces to bring it all together, and set it with you. I'll show you the napkin fold and leave a recipe card telling the story of your table, so you can set it again whenever you like.
