Sharon has been working as an interior decoratior / designer for five years & has an instinctive flair for colour and a perfectionist's eye for detail and design.

She helps those people who are building a new home or office, or simply renovating their existing home or work place.

After building on a large extension to her 1848 home, as owner builder, she realized she had a love & talent for creating the ideal living environment and felt she would like to help others in a similar situation. Keen to learn about every aspect of the decorating & design industry, Sharon enrolled as a full time student at Marleston TAFE, S.A.

Her single-minded passion for antiques & heritage buildings was soon overcome by a TAFE lecturer who encouraged her to "open her mind" to all decorating styles.

After completing an Associate Diploma of Arts in Interior Decoration & Design, she opened her own business, "Sharon Hancock Interior Decoration & Design." In this business, she is able to promote any period & style, depending on the client's personality, tastes, lifestyle & of course, budget.

The most difficult aspect of starting her own business was resourcing suppliers & manufacturers. Sharon now has access to numerous fabric, colour, furniture, lighting & window furnishing supliers & workrooms. She likes to be able to offer the best quality available.

"I love to be creative, & in particular I have a passion for colour & fabrics", Sharon says, "so it is very exciting when I can combine these things. I love furnishing windows, especially with some of the gorgeous fabrics which are available these days."
