There’s something special about the moments between rooms. From this spot in the bedroom at Heytesbury Street, you catch a glimpse through to the compact walk in robe, where the joinery continues the same language as the chest of drawers off to the side.

It’s a small detail, but it does a lot of work. Designing the built in chest to match the wardrobe finishes creates a sense of flow between the two spaces, and the robe itself feels larger and more considered as a result.

We love designing these quiet connections. They’re easy to miss at first glance, but they’re often what makes a home feel layered and complete. 😌

Riley Road — Master Suite

The front of the house called for a different mood entirely. A cooler grey palette, custom cabinetry with fabric inserts and an ensuite designed around stillness and material depth.

Stone wraps every surface, broken only by iron bronze hardware and the soft, natural glow of a narrow light tunnel overhead draws the sunshine in throughout the day.

Restraint, when it is intentional, is the most luxurious thing of all.

JOD is looking for a junior interior designer to join our Subiaco studio, full time.

This is an entry level, hands-on role supporting our design team across a portfolio of bespoke residential projects. If you’re fresh out of study and ready to learn in a fast-moving, detail-obsessed environment, we’d love to hear from you.

What we’re looking for:

A passion for residential design and a strong aesthetic sensibility. Proficiency in AutoCAD or similar drafting software. A keen eye for materials, finishes, and spatial composition. Strong communication and organisational skills. A collaborative, solutions-focused attitude. Someone eager to grow, who takes initiative and brings care to every task.

One of the things our team loves most about working at JOD is that no two projects are the same. We work across a wide range of residential aesthetics, from heritage restoration to contemporary new builds, which means you’ll be constantly challenged, inspired, and growing.

To apply, send your portfolio and a short introduction to [email protected]

We’re looking for an experienced Interior Designer to join the JOD team in Subiaco, full time.

This is a design-led role within a boutique residential studio, working across considered, high-quality projects where craft and detail matter.

What we’re looking for:

Minimum two years of experience in residential interior design. Proficiency in AutoCAD. Confidence managing projects independently from concept through to completion. Exceptional time management and the ability to juggle multiple projects with calm and precision. Strong technical documentation skills including drawings, specifications, and schedules. Experience working with builders, trades, and suppliers. A refined aesthetic and a genuine commitment to design excellence.

At JOD, we don’t have a signature look. Every project is different and we believe that’s our strength. You’ll be expected to immerse yourself fully in each brief and bring genuine creative range to the work.

Winter is coming for it this weekend in Perth. 🌧️

This is the living room we designed for our Claremont project - no TV, no screens, just a fireplace, a deep sofa, and space to disconnect.

We think every home deserves a room like this. One that invites you to slow down, pick up a book, and stay a while. 🖤

Couldn’t resist sharing this snap from our Heytesbury shoot.

The combination of marble, door finish and brass fittings is drool worthy is it not?! 🤤

On Friday we said a bittersweet goodbye to our wonderful , who has been part of the JOD family for the past five years.

It has been so wonderful to watch her grow and become the talented designer she is today. The overseas adventures, the daily laughs in the studio and her bubbly energy have been such a gift to our team and we have loved every moment.

She is off to explore the world and we couldn’t be more excited for her. Wishing you all the very best on your next adventure. We can’t wait to see everything you do next! ✨

Sometimes the answer is a built-in that holds the room, allowing the artwork above to truly sing.
