About Us.
Designs by Dayna is a Sydney-based interior design studio specialising in kitchen design and custom joinery design tailored to how you live and use your home, that feels calm, intentional and confidently resolved.
We believe that design isn’t just about beautiful surfaces — it’s about how a space works for you every day: how it functions in your life, how it feels to move through it, and how it supports the way you live.
The kitchen, laundry or custom joinery you choose to invest in should feel effortless, purposeful and right. That’s what we help you create — spaces that are both refined and functional, tailored specifically to your needs.
A Thoughtful Approach To Design
With a background working alongside a leading joinery company, Dayna brings a deep understanding of not just form but function — including materials, finishes, spatial planning, colour coordination and the realities of construction and cabinet making. This background means your design is grounded in how things are actually built, not just how they look.
Alongside this technical experience is a genuine love of cooking and spending time in the kitchen.
The kitchen has always been a place of creativity, connection and daily ritual — not just a room to pass through. That personal connection is a big part of why Dayna is so considered about how kitchens function: how they flow, how they support movement, preparation, storage and gathering, and how they feel to spend time in.
Designs by Dayna exists to ensure your project:
feels aligned with your lifestyle
flows intuitively from space to space
makes everyday tasks feel easier and better
is designed once with clarity, not repeatedly revised
You’re not just getting a pretty drawing — you’re getting a design that works, documented with care so builders and joiners can bring it to life with confidence.
Why Not A Kitchen Company?
Many homeowners find standard kitchen companies focus on selling cabinetry rather than designing a space that truly suits you. Too often they offer limited options, repeated conversations that feel generic, and solutions that prioritise product over purpose.
As an independent designer, Dayna’s focus is entirely on you — your needs, your habits, your home. This means:
personalised design solutions
clear guidance throughout the process
decisions made with intention, not repetition
detailed documentation that supports transparent quoting
a single point of contact from concept to completion
Clients in Sydney trust us for thoughtful kitchen design, custom joinery planning and functional space solutions and benefit from a clear path forward, not design overload or endless options.
Sydney Kitchen & Joinery Design Expertise
Every home, every project and every client is unique — and the design should be too.
Whether it’s the heart of the home in your kitchen, the organised calm of your laundry, or beautifully crafted custom joinery, the best outcomes come from listening first.
The result? Spaces that feel:
✔️ Well-resolved — decisions made with confidence
✔️ Functional — designed around your life
✔️ Timeless — not bound to short-lived trends
✔️ Enjoyable — beautiful to live in, every day
