Why Choose Moss Studio
Moss Studio is led by Elena, who has spent 22 years designing homes across Australia. Her philosophy is simple — a home should feel inevitable, as though it could never have been any other way. When she's not sourcing vintage rugs, she's renovating her own 1920s cottage, one slow room at a time.

Kind Words
"Worth every cent. Elena kept us on budget without ever making it feel like a compromise."
— Sarah & Tom, Forever Home
"She saved us from at least three expensive mistakes we were about to make on our own. The trade pricing alone covered a good part of her fee."
— Rachel M., Coastal Renovation
"We handed over the decisions and the stress went with them. Our home was finished on time, on budget, and better than we imagined."
— The Hartley Family, New Build
Our full-service projects begin at $XX,XXX in furnishings, with design fees from $X,XXX. Not sure where your project sits? Enquire anyway — we'll tell you honestly.
Do you work with our contractor?
Happily. We coordinate directly with your builder and trades so every detail is executed as designed, without you playing messenger.
How involved do I need to be?
As involved as you'd like. Most clients join us for a handful of key presentations and leave the rest to us — that's rather the point.
How long does a project take?
Most full-service projects run 4 to 8 months from concept to installation, depending on scope and lead times. We'll map your timeline before design begins.
How do you charge?
A flat design fee, quoted after your discovery call, plus furnishings at agreed pricing. You'll approve every figure before anything is ordered — no surprises, ever.
