When Melanie and Matthew Harris took over Whitsunday Vogue Interiors 18 months ago, they weren’t just buying a business — they were building on a legacy. With a shared background in the industry and a clear vision in mind, the couple set out to transform the long-standing local brand into a modern, full-service destination for flooring and window coverings. At the heart of their decision was something deeply personal — creating a strong, sustainable future for their three children, right here in the Whitsundays.
Now revamped with a sleek black-and-white look, Whitsunday Vogue Interiors remains firmly rooted in its 11-year legacy, but with a fresh, contemporary flair which mirrors the youthful energy of its new owners and the coastal charm of the Whitsundays.
“We wanted to take it to bigger and better heights,” said Melanie, who, along with Matthew, has worked in the business for four years before taking the plunge and purchasing it.
“There’s so much room for creativity and growth here, we are excited to show the Whitsundays how much we can offer.”
At the heart of the business is a focus on custom-made window coverings, from shutters and blinds to bespoke drapery and external awnings. The entire process is designed to be seamless and stress-free, with complimentary on-site quotes and personalised design consultations tailored to each client’s style, space, and needs. Customers are welcome to visit the showroom or enjoy the convenience of having samples brought directly to their home.
Whitsunday Vogue Interiors is expanding its horizons beyond window furnishings, now offering a full range of flooring solutions including vinyl plank, hybrid flooring, carpet, and more — all delivered with the same care, expertise, and attention to detail they’re known for. With Matthew bringing over 14 years of experience and a trade qualification in the flooring industry, and Melanie contributing six years in the window covering industry, their combined expertise ensures clients receive informed guidance, quality products, and beautifully finished results — from the floors up.
“Our aim is to be a one-stop shop,” Melanie explained.
This expansion into flooring means homeowners can now enjoy a cohesive, end-to-end service when updating or building their homes. By offering both flooring and window solutions under one roof, Whitsunday Vogue Interiors simplifies the design process, saving clients time and ensuring a consistent, beautifully coordinated look throughout their space. From initial consultation to final installation, every step is handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes a home both functional and stylish.
Melanie shared her excitement about several upcoming waterfront builds in Airlie Beach, where clients have opted for recessed and motorised window coverings — a sleek, modern solution that conceals all hardware and allows the fabric to take centre stage. This minimalist approach to curtains and blinds is growing rapidly in popularity, offering a high-end finish that reflects both expert craftsmanship and a sharp eye for detail — qualities that Whitsunday Vogue Interiors brings to both residential and commercial projects.
What truly sets them apart is their perspective. As a dynamic, next-generation team, Melanie and Matthew bring a contemporary, trend-savvy approach to home design. They’re in tune with what motivates today’s homeowners and aren’t afraid to embrace fresh ideas.
Whitsunday Vogue Interiors is proving that beautiful design can be both accessible and tailored to the local lifestyle. With big plans on the horizon and a passion for helping people create their dream dwellings, Melanie and Matthew Harris are turning heads, and turning houses into homes across the Whitsundays.
