Proud Mary. Inspiring spaces you’ll love.
Interior and exterior spaces can be nurturing, warming, restful, exciting, uplifting, enlivening, extraordinary, magical, modern, minimal, grand and ornate. My work as a stylist is all about what you love.
I’m Mary Holmes, founder, interior stylist and designer at Proud Mary Stylist.
My passion as a Melbourne-based interior stylist and designer is breathing colour and life into interior and outdoor spaces. I’m mad for mid-century design, champagne, fashion, and my feline fur baby Henry.
With 20 years of experience working alongside some of the most iconic furniture designers and retailers, I can eliminate the stress, confusion and overwhelm of renovating, decorating, and styling your space.
My interior stylist work spans Victorian terraces, Californian bungalows, mid-century houses, apartments, offices, warehouse workplaces, and cutting-edge modern homes in Melbourne.
Projects include living areas, bedrooms, entry halls, kitchens, bathrooms, courtyards, balconies and workspaces. I also work on smaller interior styling and design projects, like sourcing new furniture, rugs, mirrors, and artwork, recovering a favourite chair, or designing bespoke cushions and window coverings.
Building and renovation projects include working with clients to choose colours, finishes, flooring, fittings and appliances.
As an experienced stylist and designer, I often manage the entire project using my favourite, tried and tested tradespeople in Melbourne to make it happen. I then follow through with the decorating and styling. I love my job and approach every project, big or small, with enthusiasm and excitement.
