SOBA STUDIO
Interiors inspired by
the ordinary
Our Approach
SOBA Studio is an interior design practice creating spaces that are considered, practical and grounded in everyday life. Inspired by the ordinary, the studio values simplicity, longevity and thoughtful detail over trends or unnecessary decoration. Each project considers how a space will be lived in, using material, colour, form and familiar objects to create interiors that feel distinctive, yet never overworked.
SOBA (Noun)
from the South Slavic word for 'room'; a space for living, resting and everyday life.

Creating Spaces for Everyday Life
Small Residential and
Commercial Spaces
Thoughtful Everyday Design
We focus on small residential and commercial spaces, from individual rooms and home renovations to small retail and hospitality projects. Our approach is practical and considered, balancing function, character and everyday use. We also collaborate with architects, other interior designers and other industry professionals, providing design support and contributing to larger projects where additional hands are needed.
Furniture Sourcing
Pieces Sourced for Your Space
From sourcing a specific piece to curating a considered selection based on your needs and budget, we can assist with furniture, lighting and objects for your space. Our trade relationships with brands and suppliers allow us to source quality pieces at competitive prices, including products that may not be readily available to the public.
Design Assistance
Guidance Whenever You Need It
Flexible design support for those who need a professional eye without engaging a full interior design service. Work with us as much or as little as you need, in person or virtually, from refining layouts and selecting finishes to styling spaces and working through decisions. For commercial clients, this can also include visual merchandising and product presentation. Practical, considered guidance to help bring your ideas together.
Our Values
Practical by Nature
We pay attention to how a space is actually used. Movement, storage, durability and everyday routines all inform our approach, creating spaces that feel natural to use and live in.
Grounded
We keep things considered but uncomplicated. Materials, forms and finishes are chosen for how they look, feel and work in the space, rather than for the sake of decoration.
Inspired by the Everyday
Inspiration can be found in ordinary objects, familiar rituals and the way people naturally live. We bring these observations into our work to create spaces that feel comfortable and true to the people who use them.
