About Pen

Pen Melis is a Perth-based interior designer with extensive experience in residential renovations and bespoke new homes. With a professional background in residential interior design dating back to 2010, Pen has led the interior design of complex, high-value projects across Perth.

I design homes with clarity, purpose, and a deep respect for how my clients live. By listening closely and working collaboratively, I translate their needs into refined, functional interiors - guiding each project with experience, intuition, and care.

I specialise in interior and exterior design for large-scale residential homes, creating spaces that balance elegance and everyday living. From concept through to completion, I develop layouts, details and finishes that reflect the way my clients live while enhancing the architectural character of their homes.

My ethos centres on clarity, craftsmanship and restraint. I focus equally on functionality and feeling - shaping cohesive interiors through considered materials, bespoke joinery and enduring palettes.

I collaborate seamlessly with clients, architects and builders to ensure the design vision is upheld from early planning through to final detailing. My workflow is methodical yet adaptable, supporting clear, confident decision-making at every step.

Good design takes time. It grows through collaboration, trust and attention to detail. Every project is an opportunity to create a home that feels calm, resolved and effortless to live in.

“Working with Pen is a genuine collaboration. She listens intently, offers thoughtful insight and ideas, and never imposes her own agenda. Her knowledge and design skills surpass every designer I’ve worked with.

Under her guidance, our home became a calm, classically beautiful oasis that everyone who visits admires. Her commitment, style and kindness made the entire process a joy.”
