About 

Kim Balm Designs

is where I work alongside clients to transform homes and commercial spaces through personalised interior design, styling and curation. Every project begins with understanding your story and creating an environment that reflects who you are.

 

Aubergine Sundae

is the retail extension of that philosophy. It brings together a carefully curated collection of furniture, decor and lifestyle pieces chosen for their beauty, craftsmanship and sustainability. Whether you're working with us on a complete design project or simply searching for the perfect finishing touch, Aubergine Sundae allows you to bring timeless design into your everyday life. Watch this space grow as we develop this store.

Our Story

At Kim Balm Designs, we believe great design begins with listening. Every person has a story, and every space should reflect it. Our mission is to create interiors that are beautiful, deeply personal, and thoughtfully designed around the people who use them.

We take the time to understand your lifestyle, your aspirations, and what isn’t working in your current space. Together, we’ll create an environment that feels authentic to you—one that brings comfort, inspires daily living, and stands the test of time. Because the best interiors don’t just look beautiful; they feel like home.
