Our full-service interior design and decoration transforms houses into homes that feel unmistakably yours.

Whether you're undertaking a complete renovation, refining part of your home or creating a commercial space, we guide every stage of the journey with equal parts creativity and precision. Through considered spatial planning, layered materiality, bespoke joinery and thoughtfully curated furnishings, we shape interiors that are as functional as they are emotionally resonant.

Every project begins with understanding the people who will inhabit it. How you gather, retreat, celebrate, work and live becomes the foundation for every decision that follows. We believe the most memorable interiors aren't driven by trends, but by the lives unfolding within them.

Our comprehensive service spans concept design, design development, documentation, consultant coordination, construction documentation and final decoration. Working closely with skilled local makers, artisans, craftspeople and trusted international suppliers, we curate every detail.

By the time we hand over the keys, your home won't simply be finished. It will feel collected, deeply personal and ready to be lived in.

The final layers of a home are often the ones that give it its soul.

Our curation service is about composing interiors that feel deeply personal rather than perfectly matched. From bespoke furniture designed specifically for your home to vintage finds, decorative lighting, rugs, textiles, objects and one-of-a-kind artworks, window furnishings, every piece is selected because it contributes to a larger story.

Working with an extensive network of Australian makers, international brands, galleries, artisans and craftspeople, we source pieces that bring character, craftsmanship and longevity into your home. Whether commissioning custom furniture, discovering an emerging ceramic artist or locating the perfect vintage chair halfway across the world, we delight in finding the unexpected.

We thoughtfully weave new acquisitions alongside the pieces you already treasure, creating interiors that couldn't belong to anyone else. The result is a home that feels collected over time, rich in personality and unmistakably yours.

A home without art is simply waiting for its personality to arrive.

Our Art & Object Curation service is dedicated to sourcing works that bring meaning, conversation and individuality into your home. From emerging Australian artists to internationally recognised names, sculptural objects, ceramics and one-of-a-kind collectables, we curate pieces that feel deeply connected to both the architecture and the people who live within it.

Drawing on longstanding relationships with galleries, artists, makers and collectors, we develop cohesive collections that can evolve alongside your home over time. Rather than selecting works to simply fill a wall or shelf, we seek pieces that evoke emotion, spark curiosity and become part of your family's story.

There are few days better than wandering through galleries, discovering an artist whose work stops you in your tracks, then finding the perfect place for that piece to live.

Whether we're building a collection from the ground up or thoughtfully layering new works amongst those you already treasure, our goal is always the same: to create homes that feel rich in culture, character and deeply personal.

Whether you're selecting colours, navigating a renovation, refining plans or simply feeling overwhelmed by the endless decisions, a Studio Shields consultation offers expert design direction at any stage of your project.

Over the course of a 90-minute consultation, we'll explore your space together, providing thoughtful advice on colour, materials, finishes, spatial planning, furniture placement, lighting and the overall direction of your home. You're welcome to ask as many questions as you'd like ~ we're here to solve problems, unlock potential and give you the confidence to move forward.

Consultations are available for projects already underway, homes requiring a second opinion, or clients looking to begin their design journey before engaging a full design service.

This service also includes colour consults!
