Meet Jacqui Hargroves
“Jacqui, working closely with clients for over 25 years”
Most people don't start planning a renovation or new home because they're ready. They start because something about their home no longer works.
It might be the layout, the way the spaces feel, or simply that the home no longer suits the life they’re living.
What many don’t expect is how overwhelming the process can become. Knowing where to start, who to trust, and how to make the right decisions can quickly feel unclear. That’s where Jacqui comes in.
With over 25 years of experience in residential architectural and interior design, Jacqui founded Hargroves Design Consultants to provide homeowners with a more collaborative and personal design experience. She believes the best homes are created by listening first, understanding how people live and designing spaces that are both beautiful and practical.
Her focus is not only on creating something that looks good, but on designing a home that works. A home that flows, feels considered, and supports the way you live.
Whether you're planning a renovation, extension or new home, Jacqui is committed to creating thoughtful designs that feel uniquely yours while making the journey from concept to construction as clear and enjoyable as possible.
Beyond Jacqui
Jacqui leads Hargroves Design Consultants alongside a small, experienced team of designers, industry professionals who share her thoughtful and collaborative approach to residential design.
Together, they work closely with homeowners, builders, engineers, certifiers and consultants to ensure every project moves smoothly from concept design and approvals through to construction documentation.
Their shared focus on clear communication, attention to detail and practical design helps create homes that are beautiful, functional and ready to build.
Their Design Philosophy
Every home should feel effortless to live in, reflect the people who live there and stand the test of time. That's why every project begins by understanding your lifestyle before a single line is drawn.
A Thoughtful and Structured Approach
Every successful home begins with a well-planned design.
From the first concept through to detailed construction documentation, Jacqui develops every project with care, ensuring each decision supports both the way you live and the way your home will be built.
By working closely with homeowners, builders, engineers, certifiers and consultants, she helps reduce uncertainty, minimise costly changes and create a smoother approvals process.
This collaborative approach gives you confidence that your renovation, extension or new home has been thoughtfully designed and is ready for construction.
Built on Trust and Long-Term Relationships
Many of Jacqui's clients return for future renovations, extensions and new projects because they value her honest advice, clear communication and attention to detail.
She believes the best outcomes come from listening carefully, understanding how people live and guiding every client through the design journey with confidence.
It's an approach that turns what can feel overwhelming into a clear, enjoyable and rewarding experience.
