Meet the passionate team behind Holiday Home Stylist!

Melissa Parisi

Head Stylist

With bachelor degrees in both Business and Arts, Melissa brings a wealth of diverse experience to her career. Her journey has taken her across the globe, living in and drawing inspiration from France and Italy, while honing her skills in the property and luxury hotel industries in Sydney. Her hands-on experience in residential property renovations has shaped her meticulous approach to style, design, and functionality.

Melissa’s extensive travels and passion for five-star hospitality ignited her entrepreneurial spirit, leading her to establish multiple businesses focused on luxury guest experiences and property presentation. Today, she has built a thriving staging business on the Coffs Coast, where she has curated an ever-growing collection of high-end furniture and décor. This collection allows her to transform properties for sale with impact and distinction, creating spaces that captivate buyers and deliver strong returns for owners.

Alongside property staging, Melissa specialises in furnishing holiday homes that blend beauty with function—luxury retreats, family escapes, pet-friendly stays, and accessible homes—all designed to exceed guest expectations while maximising owner outcomes.

Melissa joined the board of the Coffs Harbour Chamber of Commerce in October 2023, where she continues to champion local businesses and sustainable economic growth. Her unique blend of international insight, entrepreneurial drive, and design expertise positions her as a leader in creating spaces that are both commercially successful and beautifully memorable.

Talia Montgomery

Stylist

From a young age, Talia was drawn to the beauty of spaces and the art of organisation. Her career journey across health administration, IT, and social media management has shaped her into a versatile professional, but her true passion has always been styling and design.

In property styling, Talia discovered the joy of transforming spaces with creativity and purpose. She sees every home as a blank canvas, carefully considering each detail—from colour palettes to furniture placement—to create interiors that feel inviting, inspiring, and memorable.

Known as the “Queen of organisation,” Talia brings both structure and flair to every project. With her unique blend of creativity and precision, she designs spaces that balance style with function, whether styling a single room or an entire home. Her goal is simple yet powerful: to create environments that tell a story, evoke emotion, and leave a lasting impression.
