Who provides accessible interior design consultations in Cowes?

Brinnie T Design, based in Cowes, offers accessible and inclusive interior design consultations across Phillip Island and the Bass Coast. We specialise in sensory-aware and disability-inclusive interiors that combine functionality, comfort, and beautiful design.

Do you provide design services for NDIS participants?

Yes. Brinnie T Design offers reduced-fee packages for NDIS-funded Home Modifications in recognition of the difficulty many participants face in obtaining funding for the design component. We collaborate closely with participants, plan managers, and builders to ensure each space is tailored to individual needs and goals.

Can NDIS-funded home modifications still look stylish?

Absolutely. Accessible design doesn’t have to look clinical. Our approach—Ban the Beige—focuses on creating homes that are practical, safe, and visually stunning. Every accessible space deserves to feel like a home, not a hospital.

NDIS interior design focused on independence, dignity and a home that feels personal

NDIS Interior Design & Home Modifications

Because home shouldn’t look like a hospital.

At Brinnie T Design, we specialise in NDIS-aligned interior design and home modifications that support independence, dignity, and everyday living — without sacrificing personality, warmth, or style.

Too often, NDIS modifications focus purely on compliance. The result can feel clinical, impersonal, and disconnected from the person who lives there.

Our approach is different.

We design homes that are functional, accessible, and genuinely reflective of the individual, recognising that accessibility and aesthetics are not opposites — they work best together.

A Human-Centred Approach to NDIS Design

Every person’s needs, sensory responses, routines, and preferences are different. That’s why our work is person-centred, not diagnosis-driven.

We collaborate closely with:

Occupational Therapists (OTs)
Builders and trades
Support coordinators and plan managers
Families and carers

to ensure each design solution:

Aligns with NDIS goals and funding requirements
Supports daily living, safety, and independence
Feels like home, not a facility

Whether we’re designing an accessible bathroom, kitchen, laundry, bedroom, or whole-home solution, our focus is always on form, function and fabulous.

What We Help With

Our NDIS design services may include:

Spatial planning for accessibility and ease of movement
Accessible bathrooms, kitchens and laundries
Fixture, fitting and material selection that meets functional requirements
Thoughtful colour, texture and lighting choices (including sensory considerations)
Collaboration with OTs to align design outcomes with participant goals
Clear distinction between NDIS-funded items and self-funded upgrades
Design documentation to support quotes and build accuracy

We work across new builds, renovations, and retrofits, tailoring solutions to suit the individual and the existing home.

Investment & Accessibility

Design services are not always covered by the NDIS, despite being a critical part of creating safe and functional homes.

To help remove this barrier, Brinnie T Design offers a reduced-rate NDIS design service, acknowledging the financial limitations many participants face.
