Interior Design Services

A clear design direction, carried through every layer of a home.

Understanding who will live in the home is where every project begins: how they live, what matters to them, what they are drawn to and, equally, what does not belong. From there, Sonya establishes a clear design direction, considering space, proportion, material, furniture and art as parts of one whole. She remains personally involved throughout, supported by an experienced studio team who manage the documentation, procurement and delivery that carry the design through.

Designing a home involves hundreds of decisions, but our clients do not need to navigate each one alone. Sonya and the studio research, edit and resolve the possibilities, bringing forward considered recommendations rather than an endless series of choices. Clients remain closely involved in shaping their home, particularly in the decisions that matter most to them. Sonya provides the direction and judgement to keep the project moving, while the studio manages the detail and coordination behind it.

About Banner Image
Creating bespoke, custom interiors shaped by design intention, materiality, and soulful expression.

Our involvement often continues beyond completion.

Completion is an important moment, but it is not always the end of our involvement with a home. Living in a home reveals another layer, often the most personal and meaningful one.
‍

Over time, the way rooms are used shifts, art is collected and new pieces find their place. A home may need to respond to changing routines, new priorities or a different stage of life.
‍

Having been part of the thinking behind the home, Sonya can continue to guide these changes with an understanding of both the interior and the people who live there. For many clients, this relationship continues for years, through different chapters of their lives and, often, across more than one home.

Sonya Cotter, award-winning residential interior designer

"The homes I enjoy creating most are those that feel inevitable, where every decision has been carefully considered and every space reflects the lives of the people who call it home. My role is to bring clarity to that journey, so the process is as rewarding as the finished result."‍
