Design, sourcing, procurement and final styling. You come home to the good bit.
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.
Started with The Vision or The Edit? That fee comes off your Make It Happen fee, if you book within 30 days.
Talk about your projectWhat The Vision looks like
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 started Meg Mac Style 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 extraordinary homes. I just don't love the way they can make a perfectly normal life 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.
A trend has to earn its place in your home. If it's 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 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.
I have a particular weakness for beautiful things people have stopped seeing.
Before interiors, I spent years as an academic and educational researcher. More of it followed me here than you'd think. 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, or clear everything out first. And you definitely don't need to hand me your house and get mine back.

Table styling · Melbourne
A table that looks like you, not a hire catalogue.
A table set for your people, with vintage finds and new pieces chosen just for you. I set it with you, show you the napkin fold and leave you your table recipe, so you can set it again whenever you like. And everything on the table is yours to keep.
Tables from $895
Set

Three ways to set it
Start from scratch.
From $1,450 for up to eight guests
Tell me about your event and what you love, and I'll source a table full of vintage finds and new pieces chosen just for you. I'll set it with you, show you the napkin fold and leave you your table recipe, so you can set it again whenever you like.
Everything on the table is yours to keep. Washing up is all yours.
Start with what you already love.
From $1,500 for up to eight guests Introductory price
Show me the good china you never use. I come over and go through your cupboards for the pieces you love but have stopped reaching for. 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 you your table recipe, with the story of your table, so you can set it again whenever you like.
Inherited doesn't mean dated.
Everything new is yours to keep. Washing up is all yours.
Just a few of you.
From $895 for up to four guests
A smaller table, set in person. Vintage finds and new pieces chosen for you, set with you, with the napkin fold and your table recipe. Everything on the table is yours to keep.
Rather not keep it all? I can set your table with pieces from my collection instead, and pack it all away afterwards. It costs less, and I’ll quote it for your event.
Tables are set the day before or the morning of your event. Pack-down isn't included on tables you keep. Tables of twelve or more, custom linens, or florals are quoted separately.
Planning an event?
For full event planning, I work with Steph at Curated Collective Events. Steph looks after the event; I set the table.

How it works
The occasion, the date, how many, and the feel you're after.
Vintage finds and new pieces chosen for you, or designed around the good china already in your cupboards.
The day before or the morning of. I show you the napkin fold and leave you your table recipe.
Every piece is yours, so you can set it again whenever you like. Washing up is all yours.
