About Oliv Interiors
Interior designer studio in Newcastle creating calm, sustainable homes for everyday living and long-term wellbeing.
At Oliv Interiors, we help homeowners make confident renovation and home-planning decisions – from spatial layout and joinery to materials, finishes, and the practical details that make a home feel quietly resolved.
Our work is for people who value thoughtful planning, natural, long-lasting materials, and a clear process – and who don’t want to carry every decision alone.
Our Approach
A home should feel calm and comfortable to be in – not visually busy, hard to organise, or difficult to maintain.
At Oliv Interiors, our approach is grounded in architectural thinking and shaped by a warm, human-centred design sensibility. We look at your home as a lived environment, considering how you move through spaces, how you cook and gather, what you need to store, and where friction has crept into daily life over time.
Rather than layering on more, our focus is on resolving decisions clearly – so your home feels calmer, easier to live in, and more cohesive as a whole.
We prioritise:
Flow and function first – Layouts that work intuitively day to day, support how you live now, and adapt as your needs change.
Material integrity– Natural, durable materials and finishes selected for longevity, performance, and how they feel to live with – not just how they look on day one.
Quiet cohesion – A considered palette, thoughtful detailing, and joinery that brings clarity and consistency across the home.
The goal is residential interiors that feel lighter, clearer, and genuinely good to live in – now, and into the future
About the Studio
With a foundation in architecture and a long-standing interest in materiality and wellbeing, Oliv Interiors was founded as a residential interior design studio dedicated to creating calm, functional, and enduring homes – spaces designed to support everyday life over the long term.
Oliv Interiors is led by Olivia Munroe, who holds a Bachelor of Architecture (Hons I) and began her career in design studios across Newcastle, Melbourne, and London. Alongside architectural practice, she studied textile design and travelled extensively through the Middle East and Europe – experiences that shaped a lasting appreciation for natural materials, layered textures, and the quiet beauty of culturally rich, light-filled spaces.
Living for many years in Spain further shaped this perspective, strengthening a preference for warm, grounded interiors influenced by history, craftsmanship, and a slower, more considered way of living.
After returning to Australia, Olivia continued her creative practice through textile and pattern design before completing a Certificate IV in Interior Decoration, bringing together architectural thinking, material sensitivity, and a human-centred approach to how homes function day to day.
Today, Oliv Interiors reflects this blend of experience. We support clients to create homes that feel intuitively good to live in, respond to changing life stages, and are designed to stand the test of time.
Who we work with
