SMILE EVERY TIME YOU WALK IN THE DOOR.

and thrive in your home

 

A home designed uniquely for you can elevate the way you live, bringing joy to your heart, pride in entertaining, and ease to your everyday routine… especially with kids and pets!    

Coming home from a day’s excursion - whether a local museum, a sporting event or the office - will finally feel like an uplifting and natural extension of your multifaceted life. That’s our promise.

ABOUT THE SPACE WITHIN 

 

The Space Within is a full service interior design studio founded in 2008. We serve the Northern Beaches and surrounding areas in Sydney, specialising in bespoke full-home renovations and concept-to-completion client service. We are guided by three pillars which drive us to deliver distinct, original homes every single time.

 
 
  1. Imagination

|

We delight in infusing our clients’ dynamic personalities into every corner of their home. Whimsical elements, colour, pattern and texture craft a delightful and uniquely sensory experience.

2. Practicality

|

Our clients are pragmatic and so are we. Our designs favour durability, honest materials and daily amenities steeped in function, ease and purpose. We want you to walk into a room and say “That’s brilliant!”

3. Finesse

|

Our clients trust us to lead and manage their renovations with finesse, maintaining meticulous organisation and efficiency, coordinating multiple trades and making a complex process easy and fun.

 
 

We also donate 10% of our projects to charities that support wildlife and animal welfare.

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

 
 

All the designs you have whipped up for us are spot on - and we love the way you incorporate new and interesting concepts and materials into your designs.”

MEET DONNA ALLEN


 

Donna’s background is as balanced as the homes she and her team design. Her formal design education followed on the tail of a long, successful career in corporate management. The result is a rare and striking blend of creativity, critical thinking and the high-level management required to execute complex renovations.  

Donna embodies The Space Within’s mission of trying new things and pushing boundaries. She left her native Pennsylvania, married an Aussie bloke, moved internationally and is now just a stone’s throw from Middle Harbour and Manly Beach. She loves bushwalking with her two dogs (José and Nacho), paddle-boarding on the harbour, caring for her chooks (Beyoncé, Grace Jones and Taylor Swift) and planning trips to wildlife havens such as The Galapagos and Antarctica.
