Jane Gorman Decorators & Developers We are a boutique interior design company in Melbourne specialising in project management

Jane Gorman Decorators & Developers are a long established boutique interior design firm, specialising in residential, commercial and marine interior decorating and design. Project management for interior and exterior design is one of the companies specialties. Principal and Interior Designer Jane Gorman ensures that her clients are relieved from the stress of coordinating and managing everything themselves whilst work is being carried out on their premises by her team of highly skilled tradespeople.�

Jane Gorman designed and built her first home in 1982 when she was 21 years old in Templestowe, Victoria whilst working for an interior designer and studying. In 1990, just prior to her second child, Jane designed and built her second home on an acre property also in the suburb of Templestowe, Victoria. Having a deep passion for interior decorating and property development and a year after her third and final child, on the 31st of March, 1995, Jane Gorman Interior Decorators was registered as a sole proprietorship within Australia. The company was established with the focus on providing residential and commercial renovations complete with soft furnishings. Jane Gorman Interior Decorators was registered in a time where there was no computer, email or mobile phones, with Jane primarily using an electric golf ball type writer, hand drawings and a landline to conduct business. There was no ability to coordinate with tradespeople via mobile phone and no ability to simulate drawings on computers. Over the years in the industry, technological advancements have made business communications more efficient and the design aspect easier. Janes passion for marine design saw the company expand operations into marine decorating and design in 2000. The company over the years still believes in its core principle of high quality service no matter how big or small the job is.

Guests rarely notice what you might expect. Not the colour of the walls. Not the brand of the sofa. What they notice is how the room makes them feel, the proportion, the light, the comfort, the quiet detail. Design your home for that, and everything else follows.

A well-set table follows the same principles as the room around it. Layered without being crowded. Personal without being precious. Restraint is what makes it feel considered rather than styled, and that quiet confidence is what guests actually feel when they sit down.

The best measure of a considered design practice is often the confidence of the clients who lived through it. A note from a recent client, on Jane's involvement in the design and construction of their new home.

The formal dining room is one of the most enduring rooms in a home. Jane approaches them classically, with considered proportion, soft palettes, and lighting that makes every meal feel like an occasion. A quiet return to hospitality done properly.

Every renovation carries a handful of decisions that quietly define the entire outcome. Layout. Proportion. How the home wants to be lived in. Jane's role is to walk clients through these choices carefully, so the design that follows sits on real foundations rather than lucky ones.

The biggest renovation missteps are usually invisible until they are hard to undo. Jane's role is to see them early, before finishes are chosen, contracts are signed, or trades are locked in. Experience shows in what a designer prevents, not just what they produce.

Great homes aren't defined by the hero shot. They're defined by the small, considered details that quietly hold the whole room together. A picture light. A styled console. A soft repeat at the window. Every one of them a decision that took years of experience to make look effortless.

A few quiet moments from Jane's Pinterest lately. Layered, restrained, and beautifully lived-in. The kind of rooms that feel prepared for real life, not styled for a photograph. Sometimes the strongest design inspiration comes from what you notice returning to, again and again.

A forever home in Gisborne that needed a revamp and had areas of wasted space, transformed into a residence that works beautifully for every stage of family life.

From a dedicated ladies home office to a nursery designed with care, every room was considered with intention and longevity in mind. Layout and flow first, finishes second. The kind of design that feels right today and still feels right in ten years.

Even with a new baby arriving mid-renovation, Jane made the process feel easy.

This is what happens when design goes beyond aesthetics and starts with how you actually live.

The right material does not need to announce itself.

This is where a project's texture is quietly decided. Layers of fabric, timber, stone and finish, refined over decades of knowing what lasts and what does not.

When the right choice is already in the studio, design becomes about editing, not searching.
