Hello, I'm Anna!

I’m the Principal and Creative Director at McMillan Design.  We are a boutique interior design studio based on Sydney’s lower north shore. And we are passionate about creating homes that nourish your soul!
 
We strongly believe that living a better life starts in your home. Our home environment plays such a key role in our energy and mood, so it just makes sense to ensure your spaces are adding to, and not draining, your energy.
 
You know that feeling you get when you walk into a room and it just feels right… warm, welcoming, calm, inspiring… well it’s my wish for you to have that feeling in your home.
 
My team and I will work closely with you to understand your needs, your lifestyle, your likes and dislikes, so we can bring you thoughtfully designed solutions and create spaces that are beautiful, functional and uniquely you.
 
So, sit back and relax, we’ve got you covered!
Anna

Working with Anna was a joy! We are so pleased with our home and Anna managed to turn what may have been a series of stressful decisions into a smooth, relaxed and enjoyable process.
Lauren, Wollstonecraft
Anna has been a great support throughout our renovation project and I cannot recommend her enough! After my initial phone call with Anna, I knew she understood my vision. The project ran seamlessly and I've ended up with a beautiful home that is better than I ever imagined!! Thank you so much Anna!
Terry, Heidelberg Victoria
We selected Anna because she was undeterred by the challenge of our home!! Understanding our lifestyle and expectations Anna presented many creative solutions. Anna worked closely with us and the builder to address surprises and challenges, keep the project on time and budget, and had an open collaborative approach. The final result is quite stunning. The design and storage solutions Anna implemented means we aren't limited by the size of our home and everyone who sees it, is blown away. Our number one brief to Anna was to design something with WOW factor, and she definitely delivered!
Mike and Shelley, Double Bay
We are so glad that we found Anna and her team at McMillan Design! Anna removed the stress around the renovation process and just made it so EASY, helping us make the decisions that were best for us and our family. Anna listened to us and we never felt judged about our preferences. Proof is in the pudding - our house is no longer an ugly duckling and has reached its full potential both inside and out. We highly recommend Anna and her team and would not hesitate to engage them again!
Terrance and Bernadette, Artarmon
Anna, we now feel so proud to call this house our home! Your thoughtful design has brought new life to our spaces, inviting us to linger longer over that coffee or to enjoy preparing a meal in our dream kitchen. We couldn't be happier to use our new space. Thank you for listening to who we are and staying true to that through every aspect of the design. Anna, you are so talented in your craft!
Deanna and John, Dural
Anna and her team helped us re-design our new home and it's now an absolute pleasure to enjoy! Anna takes time to understand the needs the client & suggests great solutions to maximise the space and transform it in a way that fits the brief. Anna and her team are super professional, responsive and over-deliver on expectations. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Albina, Holloway St
Anna took the time to really understand my family's needs and lifestyle and then sourced beautiful pieces to help bring it all to life. We are so happy with the results; the living spaces look amazing and there is a connection that flows between them all. She's great to work with and makes the whole process fun and a breeze. We would definitely work with Anna in the future and highly recommend her.
Hayley, Roseville
McMillan Design made the whole process of redesigning our home feel effortless. Their clever design solutions transformed the way we use our home. We appreciated so much, their ability to balance creativity with practicality — their designs felt in-step with how we actually live. The whole team was a pleasure to deal with. I’d highly recommend McMillan Design to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalised design.
Julie & Paul, North Sydney
Anna and her team helped us reimagine several spaces within our home. Our home was ready for a refresh and some areas weren’t being used to their full potential. The team took the time to understand our brief and delivered some clever options that enabled us to achieve more within our existing footprint. The overall result has been fantastic, giving our home not only a facelift but also changing the way we live and enjoy the various spaces.
