Holistic Interior Design & Advisory
From considered residential interiors to retail, hospitality, workplace and commercial spaces, Gaia Starace Design works across projects of different scales, from focused transformations to more extensive design engagements.
Every project is approached holistically, considering space, light, materiality, function and atmosphere as part of one connected whole.
INTERIOR DESIGN & FURNISHING
A considered approach to shaping the interior as a complete experience, bringing together spatial planning, materials, colour, lighting, furniture, textiles and art.
Suitable for projects where the design of the space and its furnishing are developed together to create a cohesive, authentic interior.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Interior design for renovations, new builds and commercial spaces, with a focus on spatial planning, materiality, kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, lighting and the relationship between architecture and interior.
Design can be tailored to the scale and requirements of each project, from a single space to a more extensive interior.
INTERIOR ADVISORY
Focused design expertise for clients who need clarity at a particular stage of a project.
Consultations and ongoing advisory can address layout, materials, colour, kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, furnishing, art, property decisions or broader design direction, providing considered guidance without requiring a full design engagement.
EUROPEAN SENSIBILITY
Design shaped by place, memory, and craft.
Gaia's Italian upbringing and architectural training gave her a foundational understanding of proportion, craft, and materiality that formal education alone cannot provide. Immersed in a culture that has long treated beauty as a discipline, she developed an eye for what endures and why.
That sensibility informs every project, and every decision made within it.
ART INTEGRATION
Art is integral to the interior, not an addition. Drawing on her own practice as an artist, Gaia considers artworks in relation to space, light, and proportion, curating new works or integrating existing collections in response to the architecture and material language of each home.
Art integration may include:
Placement of artworks in relation to light, walls, and circulation
Curation of new works aligned with the interior concept
Integration of sculpture or site-responsive pieces
Collaboration with artists, galleries, or collectors
Alignment of art with materiality, colour, and spatial mood
