Holistic Interior Design & Advisory
Interiors shaped by material intelligence, spatial clarity, and a refined sense of beauty.
Spaces designed to be lived in, thoughtfully, authentically, and over time.
Philosophy
At Gaia Starace Design, interiors are conceived as living environments, where architecture, interiors, and art come together with intention.
A deep respect for craftsmanship, proportion, and material integrity guides each project. Beauty emerges through careful detailing, functional clarity, and an understanding of how a space is experienced on a day-to-day basis.
Drawing from European design culture and years of professional practice across architecture, interior design, and art, Gaia Starace Design creates homes that feel calm, expressive, and enduring, spaces that remain relevant long after trends fade.
Design Approach
A considered way of designing
Every project is approached holistically, from the overall spatial structure to the smallest detail.
Design decisions consider:
How spaces flow and connect
How light, materials, and proportion interact
How function and beauty coexist naturally
How interiors support the rhythms of everyday life
Rather than imposing a signature style, each home is shaped around its context, its architecture, and the people who live within it, resulting in interiors that feel authentic, resolved, and quietly expressive.

ART & INTERIORS
Interiors shaped through art
As a practicing artist, Gaia approaches interiors with an artist’s eye, considering rhythm, composition, and narrative.
Art curation is available as part of selected services and plays a vital role in shaping atmosphere, balance, and emotional depth within a space.
Art is never an afterthought, but an integral element of the interior experience.
Every project begins with listening, understanding your needs, your space, and your aspirations. Whether you are at the earliest stage or ready to move forward, you are invited to get in touch to discuss the most appropriate way to work together.
