Brett Mickan Interior Design

Brett Mickan Interior Design Brett Mickan is a Sydney-based interior designer specialising in high-end residential design. www.bmid.com.au

At bmid, we determine each client’s goals and project requirements. We consider how the space will be used and how people will move through it. We’ll sketch preliminary design plans and specify materials and furnishings, such as lighting, furniture, wall coverings, window treatments, flooring, equipment, accessories and artwork. We can create a timeline for the interior design process and estimate a project’s cost.

A little country progress…

A busy week on site, reworking the electrical and watching the transformation begin as more pieces arrive.

Not every project happens all at once. This one has always been about considered layers — introducing beautiful vintage pieces, reupholstering the client’s much-loved settee and bringing together pieces with their own history and story.

Now the electrics are sorted, we can get onto the really transformative bit: colour.

It’s going to look rather fabulous when it’s finished.

And what a spectacular view to draw inspiration from. Utopia Goods WILLIE WESTON MOOD OBJECTS

Seven metres of stainless steel. Because sometimes dinner is for four… and sometimes everyone’s invited.

Flowing straight into an open butler’s pantry, this kitchen moves effortlessly from everyday family life to serious entertaining.

All the trades. All at once. Every designer knows the feeling.

Before the beauty comes a little chaos.
Okay… sometimes a lot of chaos.

Fortunately, chaos looks a whole lot better with a fabulous view.

This is what design looks like before it looks like design.

Now that was an event.

For a few glorious hours, we were transported straight to Italy. Emma’s eye for curation is immaculate — and I rarely say this, but I could quite happily have taken every single piece home.

The intimate setting, fabulous crowd, abundant food and flowers, beautiful branding and styling — right down to the rather amazing gift — made the whole thing feel effortless.

Sometimes an event is simply part of doing business. This was something else entirely: an immersion into the art of the Italian aperitivo.

Bravo, Secondi | French & Italian Vintage | Sydney team. I can’t wait to weave some of these beautiful pieces into upcoming projects.

And Lexi… superb taste in spectacles. Lexi Kentmann Blake Kuwahara

This beach apartment didn’t have a big footprint, so we gave it one — with paint.

Bold stripes connect the entrance, stretch the hallway and play with perspective, making the whole apartment feel bigger, longer and far more interesting.

Sometimes you don’t need to move a wall. You just need to make it behave differently.

Curves with a reason.
The home’s original round window gave us the cue, and we happily followed it.
Because when you draw your ideas from the architecture rather than Instagram, they tend to stick around a lot longer.

Some projects are measured in square metres. The best ones are measured in trust.

Ten years ago, these wonderful clients found us through a magazine article after purchasing a glorious, but neglected,Federation / Edwardian home from 1904. The house already hinted at its colourful soul, thanks to the spectacular stained glass commissioned by its original builder.

Our client loved mid-century design, colour and collecting art. She didn’t want a precious interior—she wanted a home that welcomed you in and gave you a hug.

Over the past decade we’ve transformed the home room by room, extension by extension. We’ve watched the children grow up, the art collection flourish, and the house become everything it was meant to be—a joyful conversation between Federation architecture and mid-century design.

Thank you to our wonderful clients for trusting us on this extraordinary journey. We can’t wait to return in years to come and see the garden mature, embracing this colourful home.

The best heritage homes aren’t frozen in time. They honour the past while embracing the lives being lived in them today. That’s where the magic happens.

A country install on Monday gave us the perfect excuse to escape a little early.

A weekend wandering through Millthorpe, dinner at the always brilliant Tonic, antique hunting in Orange, the serenity of Cowra’s Japanese Garden, and a winter walk around Temora’s beautiful Centenary Lake.

Good food. Great finds. Endless country views. And enough inspiration to fill the sketchbook for weeks.

Turns out “research” looks remarkably like a country road trip.

The best design events don’t just showcase products—they transport you somewhere else.

The evening began with martinis at the launch of the new V-ZUG space at Winning Appliances before stepping into the wonderfully immersive world of Andrew Martin at Coco Republic with Belle magazine . Every room a story waiting to be discovered—a celebration of colour, pattern, personality.

The biggest surprise of the night? Catching up with the globe-trotting Lisa Burdus Lisa Burdus Design Proof that sometimes the design world really is one very stylish village... with excellent martinis. Tanya Buchanan Kritzler Interiors
