ABP Interiors

ABP Interiors is where colour meets clarity, and pattern meets purpose. Led by principal designer Kris Tsiamis, the Melbourne studio is known for crafting modern classic, timeless interiors that balance bold personality with thoughtful practicality. Kris’ ethos is simple and compelling: no two homes should ever look the same—every project deserves its own narrative, tailored to the people who live there. That spirit of bespoke design is exactly why ABP partners with Australian Moulding & Door Company (AMDC): our breadth of profiles, periods and custom joinery options allows Kris to specify details that feel perfectly at home—whether the brief leans traditional, transitional or contemporary.

A designer’s journey: finance to fabrics, then full-circle to homes that feel lived in

Kris didn’t begin in interiors. After an early career in finance, she followed a long-standing love of architecture, the building process and textiles into design studies at RMIT, before joining Mokum Textiles, collaborating with many of Melbourne’s best-known interior designers and deepening a lifelong passion for colour, materiality and pattern. In 2007, she took the helm at A Blind Pash Interiors (ABP Interiors), building a studio that specialises in residential decoration, renovations and new builds—always tuned to the client’s lifestyle, taste and budget.

Today, ABP’s work is recognised for its ability to mix old and new, layering textiles, collectibles and crafted details to create spaces that feel anchored and individual—never generic. The studio’s public profile reflects this focus on bespoke outcomes and “wow factor,” with a consistent message across professional listings and press: ABP partners with discerning homeowners who love colour and pattern, and want spaces that won’t date.

Why ABP specifies AMDC: profiles with range, quality with pedigree

ABP’s clients often sit across different architectural eras and styling cues, and AMDC’s catalogue is built to serve that exact breadth—Colonial to Victorian, Federation/Edwardian, Late Edwardian, Art Deco, Post-war and Modern—along with custom mouldings, port holes and curved solutions, plus an extensive door portfolio (from solid timber joinery to routered, flush panel, fire-rated and curved designs). That range lets Kris select a language of lines—skirting, architraves, cornices and door styles—that does two things at once: honours a home’s bones and feels fresh for the way people live now. It’s functional detailing that also reads like jewellery for the room.

“There’s an AMDC product that will work in any space,” Kris notes—and it shows in the way she composes rooms: confident colour stories, patterned textiles and a disciplined edit of profiles create rhythm, proportion and polish. Those finishing moves are critical in modern classic interiors, where balance is everything.

 A colour-and-pattern point of view—grounded in craft

ABP’s signature is not simply “more colour” or “more pattern.” It’s pattern-on-pattern with restraint: a velvet or woven texture here, a tailored trim there, a stripe against a floral, offset by calm planes of timber or painted joinery. Years immersed in textile houses like Mokum taught Kris how materials behave in light, how patterns scale, and how everything should feel under hand—knowledge that translates directly into enduring selections, from fabrics and rugs to timber doors and mouldings that will stand the test of time.

Collaboration, not cookie-cutter

Every ABP project begins with listening. Inspiration may come from a client’s heirloom chair, a travel photograph, or the curve of a window. The studio’s process is intentionally collaborative: clients see, touch and compare materials; they understand why a particular AMDC profile or door style is specified; and they help shape the story the home will tell. It’s how ABP guarantees no two interiors are ever the same—and why finished spaces look designed for their owners, not lifted from a catalogue.

Detail that does the heavy lifting: how ABP uses AMDC in practice

• Restore or reinterpret: In period homes, ABP selects era-appropriate mouldings to reinstate lost character, then pairs them with fresher colours and textiles so the spaces feel current rather than museum-like.
• Define zones with line: In open-plan renovations, a considered skirting and architrave profile can visually anchor thresholds; a custom or curved door can soften a circulation path or create a moment of calm.
• Elevate the everyday: Even modest rooms are transformed when the proportions of mouldings and the finish of doors are dialled in. ABP uses these choices to make colour and pattern feel intentional, not busy.

Sustainability and specification that goes deeper

Clients increasingly ask how materials are sourced and what they emit. ABP’s alignment with AMDC extends to responsible sourcing and low-emission choices—whether using FSC/PEFC chain-of-custody timbers or specifying low formaldehyde emission engineered products—so that the tactile richness of a room doesn’t come at the cost of indoor air quality or environmental performance. That’s part of creating interiors that feel good now and age well later. (Learn more via ABP channels and supplier literature.)

Real homes, real lives: ABP’s clients and outcomes

From Hawthorn to Hampton and beyond, ABP’s work spans decorating refreshes, renovations and new builds, drawing consistently positive feedback for responsiveness, attention to detail and a bespoke eye. Public listings describe a studio that is “full-service” yet personable, combining creativity with practical sequencing—the knack for guiding homeowners through decisions without overwhelming them. That combination of rigour and warmth is what clients remember—and what makes the rooms feel inviting years later.
