DSdezines Interiors

Step through the portal of Room 37 in the Australian Moulding & Door Company Bayswater Showroom, and you are greeted by a space that feels like the perfect pause: warm, inviting, stylish, alive with detail. This is the Autumn Sitting Room, designed by Denise Shatilko of DSdezines Interiors. It’s a place where contemporary flair meets comfort, where texture, colour, and craftsmanship converge to become more than decoration—they become experience.

For those who believe a home should feel elegant, personal, yet perfectly liveable, this is what design done beautifully can feel like.

Meet Denise Shatilko & DSdezines Interiors

Denise Shatilko’s path into interiors began with the rhythm, colour, and craftsmanship of fashion. Trained in Fashion Design, she spent over 15 years working in Melbourne’s “rag-trade”—pattern making, product development, production management. These early years honed her eye for proportion, material, detail, and what makes things feel “just right.”

In 2012, Denise turned her creative flair fully toward interiors, founding DSdezines Interiors—a boutique studio based in Macleod serving Melbourne’s North East. Her mission: to provide face-to-face, hands-on design services that are deeply personal, aesthetically refined, and functional. Residential homes transformed room by room; decor and renovation projects elevated by her detail-obsessed style.

DSdezines Interiors isn’t a faceless agency. Clients frequently praise Denise’s accessibility, her ability to listen, and her commitment—that she stays close to every stage of the project, from initial concept to final furnishings. It is that warmth, that personal connection, that clients say makes all the difference.

Design Style: Contemporary with a Stylish Twist

Denise’s signature style could be described in a few words: warm contemporary + sophisticated unexpected accents. But style is only the beginning. Her work is built on three core pillars:

1. Texture & Materiality – She draws from her fashion background to mix materials—soft fabrics, rich woods, layered light and shadow. The Autumn Sitting Room uses plush upholstery, refined trims, artisan textiles—so that it feels tactile and lived-in.
2. Human-First Functionality – Rooms must serve you. Seating must be comfortable. Light must reach the corners. Flow must match how you live. Denise respects the realities of family life, daily routines, comfort, entertaining—and designs around them.
3. Tailored Personal Expression – No two clients are the same. With custom joinery, furniture sourcing, art choices, finishes, and lighting, Denise curates each room uniquely. She draws out each person’s taste and uniqueness, framing them in a cohesive, elevated whole.

What the Autumn Sitting Room Brings to Life

In Room 37, you’ll see what DSdezines Interiors looks like in real space. The Autumn Sitting Room is not only a showcase—it is a lesson in how to layer comfort and style with integrity.

• Colour & Light: Think warm tones, thoughtful accent walls, and soothing neutrals punctuated by rich colour in cushions, artwork, or highlights. Autumn evokes tones like muted rusts, ochre, deep browns, gentler greens—and these are balanced with lighter woods, soft natural light, and reflective surfaces.
• Detail & Trim: Doors, architraves, skirtings and mouldings from AMDC are not afterthoughts here—they are part of the architecture of comfort. The profile, scale, finish of trim work here defines transitions, frames views, and gives structure to what could otherwise feel too loose or undefined.
• Furniture & Cushions, Art & Accessories: Denise sources or custom-selects furniture that complements the architecture—sofa proportions suited to the room scale; chairs that invite lingering; art that draws you in, fabrics that invite touch.
• Texture Layers: Rugs, throws, wall finishes, window treatments—each element adds depth. Hardwood floors, fine weaves, tactile upholstery, layered lighting (ambient + task + accent) turn a sitting room into sanctuary.
• Use & Flow: This is a room you want to live in—not just look at. Comfortable, curated seating, visual hubs for conversation. Layouts that allow movement, simple servicing. Spaces to rest, read, gather.

In sum, the Autumn Sitting Room is where beauty meets usability—and where elegant design nurtures comfort.

Why Clients Choose DSdezines Interiors

When you choose Denise Shatilko, you’re choosing more than a decorator. You’re choosing:

• Accessibility & Trust: Denise is known as “hands-on” and engaged; clients mention she listens deeply, works within their budgets, respects timelines, and is reliable.
• Full Spectrum Design: Whether it’s a single room, a renovation, or whole-home refresh, Denise’s studio handles everything—from space planning, colour palettes, lighting selections, window furnishings, furniture sourcing, to styling.
• Fine Balance of Aesthetic + Function: She knows style matters—but style that can’t be lived in doesn’t succeed. Her aesthetic is clean, contemporary, but always with warmth, always with usability.
• Local and Customised: Servicing suburbs throughout Melbourne’s North East, Denise draws upon local suppliers, trade connections, and AMDC’s ability to customise mouldings/doors to exacting profiles. This gives her projects the individual touch clients value deeply.
