GOOD DESIGN TAKES TIME: Part 1 // One of the biggest misconceptions about Interior Design is that it starts with selecting furniture and ends with choosing colours.

In reality, long before a space begins to take shape visually, there is an enormous amount of thought, planning, and problem solving happening behind the scenes.

Every project begins with discovery & briefing. This is where we take the time to truly understand our clients. Their lifestyle, their routines, their needs, their budget, and the way they want to experience their home every day.

Because good design is never about copying a look.
It is about creating spaces that feel personal to the people living in them.

From there, we move into concept development. Moodboards, layouts, materials, textures, colour palettes, finishes, references, and overall design direction all come together during this phase. This is where ideas slowly start finding their identity.

Then comes space planning, one of the most important parts of the entire process, and often the least visible. We carefully consider flow, functionality, proportions, movement, and how each room will realistically be lived in and used.

Only once these layers are thoughtfully resolved do we move into our design presentation.

Furniture selections.
Lighting plans.
Finishes.
Materials.
3D visualisations.

Detailed presentations that allow clients to fully understand the vision before implementation begins.
While these stages may appear quiet from the outside, they form the foundation of everything that follows.
Because homes that feel calm, cohesive, and deeply considered rarely happen quickly.

Good design takes time.

And thoughtful spaces are always worth waiting for 😉

WINDOW FINISHES, REIMAGINED // Sometimes, changing a room does not require starting from scratch. Sometimes, it begins with what frames the space.

Well-considered window finishes have the ability to completely shift the feeling of a home. They soften light, add warmth, create privacy, introduce texture, and bring a sense of balance into a room that may otherwise feel unfinished.

Whether it is replacing heavy outdated curtains, refreshing tired blinds, or introducing layered finishes that feel more refined and intentional, even the smallest update can make a remarkable difference.

At LIVING Studio, we offer a wide range of custom window finishes, including Curtains, Roman Blinds, Venetian Blinds, indoor and outdoor Roller Blinds, Window Film, and all accompanying Hardware. Every selection is carefully considered to suit the space, the light, and the way you live within your home.

An upgrade can completely transform the way a room feels. Quietly, beautifully, and often more dramatically than expected.

If you are considering updating your Window Finishes, we would love to hear from you.

PIECES WITH PERSONALITY // There is something incredibly special about owning a piece that almost nobody else will ever have.

Our V & Co Scatter Cushions are intentionally produced in very limited quantities, with many of them being completely one of a kind. Once they find their place in a home, the chances of that exact piece being made again are incredibly slim.

These are not your typical scatter cushions. They are layered combinations of colour, texture, pattern, and fabric that should not always make sense together, yet somehow do. Unexpected pairings that immediately draw your eye in and completely transform the feeling of a space.

The kind of pieces that stop people mid conversation. The kind guests ask about the moment they walk into a room. Every Cushion has been thoughtfully selected to feel collected rather than perfectly matched. Bold in some spaces, quieter in others, but always distinctive.
Alongside our Cushion collection, we have recently introduced a curated range of Lamps into the Studio, offering pieces for both more understated interiors and spaces wanting something with a little more presence.

If something catches your eye, do not wait too long. Many of these pieces exist only once, and once they are gone, they are very rarely repeated.

Visit LIVING Studio and discover pieces that feel personal, layered, and entirely your own.

SIX MONTHS OF CREATING // Day 152 of 2026 has arrived faster than we could have imagined, and somehow we already find ourselves stepping into June.

The first half of this year has been filled with new projects, creative conversations, site visits, sourcing, installations, problem solving, and so many exciting moments in between. LIVING Studio has been wonderfully busy, and we are incredibly grateful for every client, project, and opportunity that has filled our days so far.

Follow along this month as we take you behind the scenes of what we have been creating in the Studio lately. From completed spaces to projects currently unfolding, June is set to be a beautiful one.

THIS HOME DESERVES ITS MOMENT // We are ending off May with a project that feels incredibly special to share.

A home that began as an empty shell and slowly became something layered, calm, personal, and deeply lived in. A project that challenged us creatively, inspired us constantly, and reminded us why we love what we do.

Today, we are sharing this Vermont project through Tehila’s eyes and her experience of bringing this home to life.

“What emerged from this project is now one of my favourite homes we’ve ever worked on.

Together with our clients, we created interiors that feel calm, layered, and deeply personal. The aesthetic balances Modern Coastal elements with softer touches of Classic Charm, while still feeling fresh and uncluttered.

We intentionally kept the spaces feeling light and balanced, while introducing vivid, crisp colour through artwork, fabrics, and custom furnishings to bring warmth and personality into the home.

Downstairs, the home was designed around entertaining and gathering, with a cosy TV lounge and braai room flowing onto a timber deck overlooking the swimming pool nestled into the garden. The connection between the interiors and surrounding landscape feels seamless throughout the home.

What I love most is that while the home feels beautifully styled and considered, it still feels warm, relaxed, and inviting at the same time.

This project will always be a special one to me.”

A FEW WORDS FROM KYLA // Tehila is the biggest social butterfly I’ve ever met, always ready with a smile, a hug, and of course always ready to eat cake. 💕

From the very beginning, she welcomed me with open arms and has mentored me with so much patience, passion, and kindness. She has an incredible ability to read clients and truly understand their style and vision, making them feel seen and understood. Her communication skills and dedication shine through in everything she does.

Tehila shows up every day giving more than 100%, pouring her heart and soul into her work and into the people around her. It’s such a privilege and pleasure working alongside someone who brings so much warmth and passion into every day.

TEHILA, IN HER ELEMENT // We recently asked Tehila two simple questions about the design process, and her answers turned into something far more meaningful.

Q: What is your favourite part of the design process?
A: 3D designing.

Q: Least favourite?
A: I’m not great with pictures, whether in front of or behind the camera. I much prefer being the one doing the designing behind the scenes.

3D design is not just my favourite part of the process, it is something I have loved for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always drawn to home decorating games, completely absorbed in planning spaces and figuring out how everything worked together.

Coming from a fine art background, I realised over time that I was more interested in the environment the art lived in, the layout, the furniture, the feeling of the space, than the artwork itself. That realisation led me to walk into Beach House Living one day and say, “I want to do interior design.” Vanessa took a chance on me, and the rest is history.

A few years later, after some time off in December, I came back with an idea. I had started exploring 3D design and saw how powerful it could be for our clients. I asked if we could bring it into our process and, once again, I was fully supported.

Today, 3D design is such a big part of how I work. It allows me to plan every detail, solve challenges creatively, and give clients a clear vision of their space before anything is implemented. It is where my love for design, planning, and creativity all come together, and it is what makes the process so fulfilling.
