Interior Design
WHOLE-HOME OR ROOM-FOCUSED INTERIOR DESIGN
Whether you're planning the interior of a bespoke custom home build, preparing for a kitchen or bathroom renovation, wanting professional support developing your interior prior to final tendering, or seeking an elevated refresh of your living room—we develop and refine your vision through a holistic design process shaped by your daily routines.
From space planning, electrical and lighting direction, custom joinery design, detailing of interior elements, colour and material curation, technical drafting, specification schedules and 3D visualisation, every design element is thoughtfully resolved and translated into a comprehensive design documentation package your builder or trades can cost and implement.
Kitchens, Bathrooms & Laundries
KITCHEN & WET AREA INTERIOR DESIGN
Whether you’re wanting kitchen-focused design support for your custom build, planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation, or hoping for a well-planned, quietly efficient laundry, our wet-area interior design service brings clarity and intention to the spaces that work the hardest in your home. We look closely at how you cook, wash, prep, store and reset — shaping each space through thoughtful layout, bespoke joinery design, colour and material direction, lighting and electrical planning, and the practical choreography between fixtures, appliances and cabinetry.

Whole-Home Interior Design
A COHESIVE DESIGN DIRECTION ACROSS YOUR HOME
For homeowners building or renovating with an architect or custom builder whose process allows greater design freedom—whether selecting builder-supplied or owner-supplied materials from a broader supplier network, requiring substantial custom cabinetry design with internal & external detailing, exploring a highly detailed electrical plan with layered lighting, or requiring early 3D design development to test spatial proportions and scale. This service is also ideal if you require interior development & professional guidance with selections prior to the final tendering process.
We take your vision, refine it into a highly curated and resolved design direction, and translate it into a comprehensive set of technical drawings, elevations and detailed specification schedules that clearly communicate the design intent for your builder and relevant trades to review, cost, and execute.
Depending on the agreed project scope and level of documentation required, deliverables may include any or all of the following:
- Room-by-room natural light profile report
- 2D space plan showing indicative furniture placement and clearances, where applicable
- 2D electrical & lighting plans
- 2D elevation drawings with internal and external joinery detailing, where applicable
- Material, finish, & fixture specification schedule
- Base 3D model images from various perspectives guiding the early design development
- High-resolution photorealistic 3D renders of agreed spaces
- P.O.A.
A tailored quotation is prepared following review of the floor plans, number of walls or spaces, custom cabinetry requirements, electrical and lighting scope, specification schedule requirements, design stages and extent of required documentation.
Your estimated project timeframe will be confirmed following review of your whole-home scope and supplied project information.

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.
My signature design style is not a particular aesthetic, but a design approach that is strongly grounded in functional planning—the often invisible decisions around flow, furniture placement, lighting and how each space supports your daily life. Visually, I do not impose one signature aesthetic on every project. I take the time to understand your brief, preferences and the character you want your home to have, then refine them into a timeless and cohesive direction. Whether you want a minimalist understated elegant palette, a visually balanced colour-drenched home, an intentional pop of colour, or a sophisticated modern & moody brutalist interior — my goal is for your home to feel unmistakably yours—while feeling deeply considered, cohesive, and beautifully resolved.
To ensure we provide detailed planning and holistic support; we only offer prestart or new build design services as a comprehensive whole-home interior design service which covers the entire design journey of the whole home interior from concept, space planning, to 3D visualisation, and comprehensive technical documentation.
We can accommodate your shortlisted colours, materials, finishes, fixtures or suppliers, provided they are shared with us all at once and as early as possible—during the onboarding and project discovery stage, before design development begins and before substantial colour & material curation and research commences—so we can curate other selections with those preferences in mind. If your preferred colours, materials or suppliers are shared with us progressively at various times during the active design development or introduced much later in the design process, after we have already completed substantial colour planning and material suitability research based on your original brief, this may require earlier design decisions to be reworked and may result in additional redesign fees.
Yes, at Studio Ri, 3D modelling is introduced early in the process as an active part of design development—not simply added at the end as a visualisation tool. This allows testing and refining of proportion, scale, sightlines and applying strategic spatial changes before translating the resolved design into comprehensive 2D technical drawings and specification schedules for your builder and trades to review, cost, and execute.
We offer lifestyle-informed space planning to inform indicative placement and sizing of your furniture as part of our 'Living and Lifestyle Spaces' interior design service. If needed, we can review and 3D model client-selected furniture pieces as part of space planning and 3D concept deliverables. We do not currently offer furniture curation or sourcing services.
Yes. We love designing built-in joinery to breathe function and beauty into dead walls and unresolved negative spaces. From design development to technical detailing and material specification, we can provide you with a design documentation package that your cabinet-maker can quote and implement. We can provide a tailored quote suited to your cabinetry & storage design requirements.
At Studio Ri, we believe in pouring all our creative energy into the thoughtful development of one strong concept informed by your vision and lifestyle and refining it with care and intention rather than exploring numerous significantly different options. This keeps the project grounded, focused, and efficiently moving towards a buildable outcome.
We are happy to review any source files, 3D models or design work you have created so we can understand your ideas and priorities. However, we achieve the strongest and most efficient outcomes when we are given the creative freedom to be involved in the project holistically and through our own considered 2D and 3D workflows & processes.
Depending on the agreed scope for the project, one complimentary refinement round is included. Feedback for refinement is kindly required to be provided within the agreed refinement window (usually within five business days) at a single time via a scheduled real-time meeting or through one consolidated list of refinements via the agreed communication channel which is outlined prior to project commencement. Once the agreed refinement or feedback window closes, further requests for changes can be accommodated via an additional subsequent refinement round which are quoted based on the scope of changes required.
