Testimonials
Maribyrnong Apartment
Prior to the settlement date of my first home in 2021, Melanie provided her services in interior design and decoration, to assist in helping style my apartment in Maribyrnong. Commencing the planning stages of decorative styling was a stress-free process. Melanie submitted a design concept with exemplars of furniture pieces that fitted together meticulously, to provide me with a myriad of styles to select from for the fit out of my home.
I have been extremely satisfied with the high level of customer service Navy Panel and Co has provided. Throughout the past few months, I have had the opportunity to communicate frequently with Melanie. We engaged in conversation regarding furniture and fabric selections. In addition, she supported me by sharing her contacts of many reputable store representatives who I was able to consult with.
Since working with Navy Panel and Co, I have been able to select timeless furniture with sophistication, high quality products, and the pieces selected provide both comfort and character in my residence. Melanie has also extended her services by providing her support with trade prices with the selection of specific furniture. Collaborating with the Navy Panel and Co has been a truly rewarding experience.
I would highly recommend Melanie’s services to both friends and family as her experience and professionalism is above and beyond.

South Melbourne Project
We engaged Melanie of Navy Panel to to furnish our entire renovated house in South Melbourne.
From day one, Melanie was a delight to work with. She understood my taste and likes very quickly and presented us with furniture options that I never would have found myself and which, to this day, I absolutely adore.
Melanie has a talent and an eye for blending classic pieces with interesting artistic pieces and I feel so fortunate to have had her advice throughout the process.
Throughout the build, I often called on Melanie to assist with selections or finishes when I needed a second opinion - like architraves, external paint schemes, fence designs - and nothing was ever too much trouble.
Melanie was able to work within our budget and still achieve a first rate result.
I recommend Melanie from Navy Panel & Co. without hesitation.
