Our curation approach
The quiet decisions behind a resolved interior.
Scale & proportion
Ensuring every piece is appropriately sized and visually balanced within the room.
Circulation & flow
Planning clear movement pathways and comfortable spacing throughout the interior.
Colour & texture harmony
Layering colours, materials and textures so the complete scheme feels connected.
Visual weight & material balance
Balancing solid, soft, light and visually dominant elements across the space.
Cohesion with surrounding pieces
Considering how every selection relates to the furniture, finishes and details around it.
Lifestyle & brief alignment
Ensuring the interior supports the client's routines, priorities and preferred way of living.
Whole-home style alignment
Connecting each room to the wider visual language and character of the home.
Budget alignment
Directing the available investment towards the pieces that will create the greatest impact.
Optional add-ons

Frequently asked questions
It all starts by telling us about your project through our enquiry form.
We will review your enquiry and respond within two business days. If we can help, we will provide you with a tailored quote to review. From there, we can address any further questions you may have and clarify the next steps on how to secure a booking. We look forward to hearing from you.
Yes. All Studio Ri services are available Australia-wide.
We can plan your furniture while your home is under construction, allowing furniture sizes, layout and the overall colour & material direction to be considered alongside your fixed finishes before you purchase.
Choose Furniture Consultation if you prefer to browse, shop and select furniture yourself and want professional advice on your choices.
Choose Signature or Bespoke if you would prefer the designer to take the lead of the furniture curation process for you.
Pre-loved and client-selected furniture can absolutely be incorporated, but they are managed differently depending on the service you choose.
Furniture Consultation
Furniture Consultation is best suited if you have several pre-loved furniture pieces or furniture and décor already shortlisted or under consideration. These can be discussed during the consultation and assessed for suitability in terms of fit, flow, scale, proportion, colour & material cohesion.
Signature or Bespoke Designer-Led Curation
We can accommodate your pre-loved or shortlisted furniture and décor, as well as any suppliers you would like us to consider, provided they are shared with us all at once and as early as possible—during the onboarding and project discovery stage, before space planning begins and before substantial curation work and product research commences—so we can curate other selections with those pieces and suppliers in mind.
If your pre-loved or shortlisted furniture and décor, or suppliers you would like us to consider, are shared with us progressively at various times during the active curation process or introduced much later in the process, after we have already completed substantial space planning, curation and product suitability research based on your original brief, this may require earlier curation decisions to be reworked and may result in additional curation fees.
Signature may include decorative lighting such as table lamps and floor lamps.
Bespoke also includes hard-wired lighting selections and a high-detail, electrician-ready scaled 2D lighting plan to guide installation.
Furniture Consultation can provide professional advice on client-selected lighting being discussed during the appointment.
We try to select major furniture pieces from suppliers with local showrooms where possible. Smaller styling pieces may be available online only, depending on the design direction and budget.
Signature and Bespoke curation is developed around your nominated furniture and styling budget. The exact mix of foundational furniture and styling pieces will depend on your spaces, priorities and budget.
Yes. We can provide a tailored quote for specific furniture requirements.
