Alpa was perfect for this project.
Her eye for detail is the best. She organised her team to suit me, and she made the renovation process a pleasant experience.
I will be working with her again and again.
Many thanks

Alpa designed a home office/den for me. She was very easy to work with and listened to all my requirements. I wanted the room to be in keeping with the rest of the house, the interior design had been done by someone else. She managed to design the room totally in keeping with the rest of the house and to my taste. I highly recommend Studio Alpa. More...

I own a decorating company and we recently had the pleasure of working alongside Studio Alpa on a project. Alpa contacted us and from the outset communication and organisation we're second to none. I would not hesitate to work with Alpa again and would highly recommend her services to anybody planning a project in the future More...

worked with Alpa earlier this year to redesign my bedrooms and update my living/kitchen space. She introduced new ideas to me and initially sketched them up with variations of wallpapers/ colours/accessories etc which gave me greater visibility and clear choices. She was fantastic throughout the process and I’m really happy with the outcome. She’s fantastic! More...

What’s your interior design process?
For residential projects, it starts with an in-depth conversation about how you want to use, move through and feel in the space, before the aesthetic is tackled. I get to know your daily routines and priorities, then resolve the layout, flow and lighting before we touch finishes — this stops the classic renovation problem of realising too late that a layout doesn't work. Once that foundation is right, we move into materials, furniture and the details that bring it all together.
For hospitality clients, we adapt the process to your brand and customer experience aspirations.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
I don't work to one fixed studio look — every space is shaped around the people using it. That said, I take inspiration from the natural environment and love adding textures from stone, wood to textured wallpapers tailored to suit each client's lifestyle or customer experience.
What do you love most about your job?
The transformation. Watching a 2D plan and design scheme come to life on site — and seeing my client's reaction when they walk into the finished space — never gets old.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own full home remodel gave me a firsthand understanding most designers never get: how disorienting construction delays and on-the-go decisions can feel, however clear the vision. That insight shaped Studio Alpa's approach — a structured, proactive process that resolves flow and function early, so clients are guided through with clarity rather than left to navigate the overwhelm themselves.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm KLC-trained and bring a structured, wellbeing-led process that resolves flow and function before finishes — so you avoid the stress and costly mistakes that come from decisions made on the fly. I don't push a signature look; every project is shaped around how you actually want to live. And having been through my own renovation overwhelm, I know exactly what clients need protecting from.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
My initial discovery call is online, but I prefer to see clients and the space in person, understanding its light, proportions and how you move through it day to day.
