Make Your House A Home was established in 2005 by Lisa and Norm Smith, a husband and wife team from Bendigo, Victoria.

It started as a home-based interior design business and then moved into selling furniture and homewares on-line.

Due to demand, a showroom was set up to provide clients an opportunity for ‘face to face’ consultations, advice and a chance to get ‘hands on’ with their fantastic range of furniture and homewares.

With Houzz, homeowners can identify not only the top-rated professionals like Make Your House A Home, but also those whose work matches their own aspirations for their home.
