THE STUDIO

Designed by Arna is Newcastle’s premier Interior Design Studio, founded and led by Newcastle Interior Designer Arna Sleishman.

The Founder

Hi, I’m Arna, a Newcastle-based Interior Designer with over a decade of experience in creating bespoke interiors and managing seamless renovations.

I studied at Hunter Design School and have proudly collaborated with homeowners across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Nelson Bay. To date, I’ve helped over 2,000 residents transform their homes with bold and beautiful designs tailored to their unique needs.

Through these home renovation projects, I’ve gained invaluable expertise in the full home renovation process, mastering cost-saving strategies that never compromise on style or functionality. As a passionate interior designer, I’m committed to delivering exceptional customer service and ensuring every project reflects your lifestyle and aspirations.

Inspiration for Interior Design

I stay inspired and informed in the world of Newcastle Interior Design by regularly attending national and international design events, including the prestigious Milan Design Week - a career highlight that continues to shape my creative vision towards interior design projects and my understanding of global design trends in home design.

As one of the leading Interior Designers Newcastle homeowners turn to, I bring both global inspiration and local knowledge to every project. Whether it’s a kitchen renovation, a bathroom refresh, or a full home renovation in Newcastle, my goal is to craft a space that inspires you every day - a home you’ll proudly call ‘Designed by Arna’.
