Welcome to Design to Inspire, where I craft spaces that are both beautiful and functional. As an experienced interior designer working in Sydney, I am passionate about creating environments that reflect both your personal expression and the unique character of this vibrant city.
My name is Nancy Malekpour-Nisyrios, and with more than 20 years of experience in Interior Design, I create spaces that resonate with my client’s styles and everyday living. What sets my work apart is my commitment to creating spaces that feel luxurious, lived in, and tailored to you.
Understanding Sydney’s Unique Architectural Landscape
Sydney is internationally renowned for its diverse and beautiful architecture, from historic Victorian terraces in Paddington and Balmain to modern minimalist homes in Mosman and Vaucluse. In recent years, contemporary styles have risen in popularity, with key features being open-plan living and sustainable design elements. These features reflect the city’s relaxed lifestyle and cherished coastal environment.
Whether you live in the leafy northern suburbs or the bustling eastern suburbs, each area has its own distinct character that can be enhanced through thoughtful and innovative design. As an interior designer working in Sydney, I am committed to incorporating local architecture, climate, and lifestyle into the design of your home. This, alongside your own personal aesthetic and lifestyle, are all key factors in designing a home that feels truly yours.
I have vast experience in both home renovation and commercial spaces, working with private clients to ensure their own space perfectly reflects their style and needs. Regardless of the project, they each receive the same personal approach, ensuring every project no matter how big or small is carried out with the same attention to detail.
Crafting Spaces for Every Lifestyle in Sydney
Sydney is a diverse city that is home to a broad range of people whose lifestyles are as varied as the buildings that they inhabit. For people living in high-end areas such as Bellevue Hill, Double Bay, or the up-and-coming regions of Marrickville and Alexandria, I will explore designs that blend elegance and comfort.
On the other hand, if you are looking to redesign a beach home in an area such as Bondi, Manly, and Coogee, then you will require a different approach. Here, the design should feel relaxed, open, and airy, making the most of natural light and maximizing ocean views.
Embracing Sydney’s Landmarks and Environment in Design
Sydney’s iconic landmarks – think Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge, have a big influence on the aesthetics of the city. Many residents seek modern, sophisticated, and airy designs that reflect the city’s vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere.
The local climate also has a big impact, with mild winters and warm summers, this plays a crucial role in design considerations. I ensure that the materials and furnishings I choose are both stylish and suited to the coastal environment, ensuring your home retains its beauty and functionality throughout the year.
My Approach to Interior Design Services
I take a holistic approach to interior design, that considers your unique style, how you live, and your external environment. With a deep understanding of Feng Shui and colour psychology, I create designs that are not only visually captivating but also harmonious and balanced, perfect for Sydney’s distinct climate and lifestyle.
Why Choose Me as Your Interior Designer?
Sydney is a unique city, and its residents need a local interior designer who understands how to seamlessly blend design with the city’s distinct environment. It is equally important to find someone who takes the time to understand your vision and lifestyle.
From our first meetings, I will delve deep into your needs and personal style. I pride myself on my creativity and extraordinary attention to detail. Every project, no matter how big or small, is an opportunity to create a beautiful new space that has the power to transform your life.
The Value of Extraordinary Attention to Detail
I believe that what truly sets exceptional interior designers apart is attention to detail. This focus on the finer points including the texture of materials and the placement of home decor is what ensures that every space I design is aesthetically pleasing, functional, and perfectly suited to Sydney’s unique environment.

What an amazing asset Nancy was for us! We couldn’t have done it without her.
Nancy helped us with the interior and externals at PGH bricks and Dons Tiles. We trusted in her process and professionalism, so once she had an idea of our brief and budget we let her do her magic.

She also was very transparent to advise where we should invest the money and when we should not.
