Who we are
At Oak and Olive, we believe that great design is about more than how a space looks – it’s about how it makes you feel.
Led by Interior Designer Jess Orie, our studio brings 13 years of industry experience to your home. Having spent a significant portion of her career leading major commercial design projects, Jess brings a calm, detail driven approach, supported by technical documentation rarely seen within residential interior design.
Servicing Northern Sydney and the Southern Highlands, we combine this big-project discipline with a deep appreciation for home to create spaces that feel lived in, loved, and uniquely yours. We take the time to understand how you live and what matters most to you.
Jess is known for blending styles with ease, layering natural textures and organic details that bring warmth and individuality to every project. Her design philosophy is simple: a home should be a blessing, not a burden – a space that inspires, comforts, and truly reflects the people who live in it.
Whether you’re refreshing a single room or transforming your entire home, Oak and Olive is here to guide you every step of the way – with creativity, care, attention to detail and a genuine passion for beautiful, functional living.
Our interior design services
Your home is your most personal story, and it deserves to be told with intention, quality and care. At Oak & Olive Homes, we believe exceptional design is defined by how well a space serves the people who live in it, not just how it looks in a photograph. From full-scale renovations to tailored styling advice, our studio offers a personalised experience that meets you exactly where you are. We approach every project as a true design partnership, valuing transparency and technical precision as much as aesthetics. If you’re ready to explore the full potential of your home, we’d love to start the conversation.

Flexible Scope
Not every project calls for a full renovation or complete project management. This service is ideal for clients looking to transform a specific area, such as a kitchen or bathroom, or for those who want a comprehensive design plan while managing the build themselves. We take care of the creative direction, material selections and detailed documentation, delivering a considered design blueprint that’s ready to be brought to life.The Benefit: You benefit from the same depth of design thinking and technical precision we bring to our full-service projects, thoughtfully scaled to suit your scope

Layout & Flow OptimisationA beautiful room is useless if it doesn't function properly. We go beyond aesthetics to analyse the architectural flow of your existing footprint. Whether you are moving walls or simply reimagining how a room is used, we produce scaled floor plans that maximise space and correct awkward layouts. We ensure your home flows intuitively for the way you live today, rather than how it was built decades ago.
The Benefit: Technical scrutiny of your floor plans to prevent costly layout mistakes before construction begins
-
Systems for Busy LivingTrue design considers what is inside the cupboards, not just the cupboards themselves. We implement sustainable, intuitive organisation systems that reduce clutter and streamline your daily routines. This service complements our design work to ensure your newly styled home remains calm and organised long term.
The Benefit: A home that’s easy to maintain with minimal effort, no matter how full your days are
