About Lavender Interiors

Personally managed. Thoughtfully designed.

Lavender Interiors is a Newfoundland-based interior decorating service founded by Tammy Puddester. Working directly with clients in their homes, every project is personally managed from start to finish — ensuring a consistent, thoughtful design experience and a final result that reflects each client's unique style and needs.

Lavender Interiors specializes in creating timeless, inviting spaces — drawing on years of hands-on experience guiding clients through material and finish selection for renovation and new-build projects. That background, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic living areas, shapes practical, design-driven solutions that balance form and function.

At the heart of the work is collaboration. Great design starts with listening — understanding your goals and lifestyle to create spaces that feel personal, polished, and authentically yours.

My Take on Design

Calm, balanced, intentional.

At Lavender Interiors, I believe that thoughtful design has the power to influence how we feel in our spaces. Drawing inspiration from the calming essence of lavender, I focus on creating interiors that feel balanced, fresh, and intentional.

Clean lines, subtle textures, and timeless elements guide my design process — always with an emphasis on comfort and practicality. Each space is approached with care and clarity, resulting in an environment that feels natural, personal, and inspiring.

Janis St. John's, NL

Tammy brought a unique perspective that really improved the look and feel of my home. I live in Nova Scotia and have a very busy schedule, and was having difficulty visualizing what I could do to enhance my space — she took charge of everything. Through a virtual consultation, Tammy evaluated my home, identified current pieces that could be utilized differently, and sourced the additional items needed. She pulled the entire design together in just a week, and I couldn't be happier with the beautiful result. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail have truly transformed my space, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.
