Helping you Make Your HOME Beautiful
With over 20 years of experience as an interior decorator and colour expert, I offer practical advice, design inspiration, and personalised consultations—locally on the Gold Coast or online, wherever you are.
Hi, I’m Samantha Bacon
Founder of Making Your HOME Beautiful
This is my Story
I’ve always believed that colour is more than a design choice—it’s a language of emotion. The right palette can shift a mood, shape a space, and transform the way we experience home.
My journey began in London, took me through Asia, and eventually brought me to the Gold Coast, where the coastal light and lifestyle continue to inspire my design approach. Along the way, I discovered a love of colour theory, trained at Sydney’s International School of Colour and Design, and built a business dedicated to helping people make confident choices for their homes.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked as a colour specialist and interior decorator—designing timeless spaces, contributing to national magazines, educating the next generation of colour consultants, and guiding projects from new builds to heritage renovations. Whether you’re selecting paint colours or planning a full interior or exterior transformation, I bring clarity, calm, and a wealth of experience to every project.
Through Making Your Home Beautiful, I now offer personalised decorating services and online colour consultations—so wherever you are in Australia, you can design your home with confidence.
