Design Philosophy

Grounded in a holistic and intuitive approach, Gaia Starace Design embraces Authentic Luxury, celebrating exceptional craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and meticulous attention to detail. Every project is treated as a living, breathing environment-not just a physical space, but an emotional, functional, and atmospheric experience. Spaces are designed to feel warm, soulful, and well-lived in, while remaining beautifully restrained and timeless.

Gaia approaches each project with sensitivity to both macro and micro elements: the floor plan, light, and flow of the space, as well as the textures, details, and mood that define every room. Walls, windows, and structural elements are treated as integral components of the interiors, while furniture, joinery, and spatial arrangements are thoughtfully curated to guide movement, interaction, and sensory rhythm. Her expertise in luxury, high-end joinery ensures that custom cabinetry and bespoke furniture are seamlessly integrated, creating interiors that are both functional and visually stunning.

As a practicing artist, Gaia brings an additional layer of creativity to her interiors, treating each space as a canvas. Elements are approached as if they were site-specific installations, allowing artistry, emotion, and narrative to flow naturally throughout the home.

Her process blends intuitive hand-sketching with precise digital tools, allowing clients to see the potential of their space early and translating their vision into luxurious, purposeful environments. Collaboration, listening, and intuition are central to her practice, ensuring that each space is not only beautiful but deeply meaningful and authentically lived in.

Beyond residential interiors, Gaia offers bespoke design services for private clients, businesses, and commercial ventures, bringing her holistic methodology-merging architecture, interior design, and art-to every project. Each space is crafted to reflect her clients’ personalities, values, and aspirations, creating environments that are timeless, soulful, and unforgettable.
