Penelope Herbert : Principal Designer

Unleashing Creativity, Crafting Unique Spaces

At Plush Design Renovations, located in the Adelaide Hills, we are led by the creative vision of Penelope Herbert, an exceptional interior designer whose passion for design was ignited at a young age.

With a foundation rooted in childhood play, Penelope brings a unique perspective to every project, combining maturity with a fresh and bold outlook.

“My earliest memory is a book in my Father’s library about how children around the world live. I was about four years old and found this fascinating. My childhood was surrounded with High Victorian Gothic architecture which I still adore and admire. I mean, who doesn’t love a gargoyle?

“My love of architecture and interior design progressed with a five-year subscription to “House & Garden” (a gift to my Mother), technical drawing classes in High School, creating hundreds of home floor plans for fun, and formal learning in interior design. My one consistent love my whole life has been architecture and interior design”.

If you can’t enjoy your work then what’s the point!

Penelope's passion for design lies in exploring new ideas, challenging conventions, and thinking outside the box. She loves pushing design boundaries to ensure your space will not be cookie-cutter or like anyone else's.

With her expert guidance, we infuse each project with innovative solutions and unexpected design elements that make your space truly stand out. We strive to create captivating interiors that leave a lasting impression and spark conversations.
