Founded by Melbourne-based interior designer Dave Harvey, Disko Designs takes on residential renovations across Melbourne, Brisbane and beyond for homeowners who want their kitchens, bathrooms and homes to do more than photograph well. Every project starts the same way, not with mood boards, but with questions about how a household actually moves through its own home. Where the mess happens. Where people linger. What gets used daily and what’s just for show.
That groundwork shapes everything that follows: layout, material choice, lighting, the small joinery decisions most people never notice but always feel. Disko leans into colour, timber, and unexpected texture rather than safe neutrals, treating each project as a chance to give a home a distinct personality rather than a polished but forgettable finish.
The studio’s scope runs end to end. Concept and space planning, cabinetry and lighting design, technical documentation, detailed schedules, and 3D visualisation, the kind of thorough groundwork that keeps builders and trades working from certainty rather than guesswork on site.
Dave has picked up multiple KBDi awards along the way, and he’s become something of a fixture on the home show circuit, trading design jargon for genuinely useful advice, the same straight-talking approach that carries through his podcast, where he unpacks renovation decisions most homeowners are never taught to think about.
Bathroom refresh, full kitchen rebuild, or a whole-home reimagining, Disko’s approach stays the same: understand the life first, then design around it.
