Featured Projects
Inspired by Melbourne
Jenefer’s interior designs draw from Melbourne’s culture and architecture. Our city is social, food-centred and defined by its neighbourhoods, which influence how homes are designed and enjoyed. Her work spans Art Deco apartments, Victorian terraces, mid-century homes and contemporary homes in Carlton, Bayside, Malvern, Richmond and surrounding suburbs, giving her a deep understanding of what makes Melbourne homes feel unique. She brings together lifestyle, architecture and a sense of place so your home feels naturally connected to Melbourne’s lifestyle.

Her calm, steady approach guides every stage of the process, and her commitment to seeing a design through ensures your home is considered from beginning to end.
relationship-led interior design
Our project involved a complete renovation and interior design of a two-storey Victorian terrace (circa 1870). Nothing was left untouched, and the brief we gave EBL was executed to the highest standard with a perfect balance of style and creativity. The materials and finishes EBL recommended were always on point, reflected our lifestyle and personalities, and Jenefer was excellent to work with. Our home has been completely transformed with a beautiful flow between traditional and contemporary.
eat.bathe.live were incredible throughout every stage of our build. Jenefer was flexible with meetings, prompt, creative and her understanding of our needs was evident with every draft she presented. The finished product is a dream and we could never have imagined such a fantastic result.
Jenefer designed, sourced fittings and furnishings and offered expert guidance on the renovation of our bathroom, European laundry and bedrooms. We are very happy with the finished product – thanks Jenefer!
We could not have had a more positive experience working with Jenefer from eat.bathe.live on our recent home renovation. Jen’s attention to detail is incredible, her creative use of space has completely transformed our home and we would not hesitate in seeking Jenefer’s services again or to recommend her and her team to anyone we know.
Kitchen Design
The kitchen is often called the heart of the home, and for good reason. It is typically the most used room in the house, where families gather, and core memories are made. For Jenefer, a kitchen is far more than the place you eat. It is the centre of life at home and a space that should support connection and nourishment in all its forms. Functionality and aesthetics guide interior design decisions to optimise storage and bench space while creating flow and circulation. Jenefer also considers how the kitchen links with neighbouring rooms and fits comfortably within the broader style of your home.
Bathroom Design
Bathrooms are places of restoration, wellness and daily ritual, and they work best when grounded in purposeful design. Laundries benefit from the same clarity and order. For Jenefer, these rooms perform best with functional discipline, including dedicated wet and dry zones, proper ventilation, thoughtful placement of fixtures, privacy and practical accessibility. Lighting and colour set the mood, while durable materials and well-planned storage keep everything organised and within easy reach.
Interior Decoration and Styling
Living spaces and bedrooms carry the character of a home, and Jenefer approaches them by understanding how you spend time in each room and which pieces matter to you. A clear style direction ties the home together, while furniture, lighting, artwork and soft furnishings bring mood, proportion and personality to the space. Some elements create cohesion with the broader design, while others add contrast or interest, much like jewellery completing an outfit.
How We Work
Renovating or updating a home can feel overwhelming. Jenefer’s guidance helps you prioritise what matters, what can wait and how each choice shapes the final result. Her role is to steady the process, explain options in simple terms and communicate with builders and trades so the interior design intent is carried through to completion. With Jenefer’s intuitive approach, your interiors will support your life now and continue to evolve as your needs change, allowing your home to grow with you.
Let’s Start With A Conversation
A discovery call sets the foundation for a smooth, well-guided interior design journey. It’s a relaxed space to talk through what you need, explore possibilities, and understand how Jenefer supports homeowners and investors in Melbourne to feel confident about taking the next step.
