Katrina Mackintosh Studio is a refined and thoughtful interior design practice dedicated to creating spaces that feel both elevated and deeply personal. With a natural intuition for balance, detail, and materiality, Katrina brings each project to life through a seamless blend of beauty and functionality, resulting in homes that are timeless, considered, and effortlessly lived in.

Interior Design
A considered, end-to-end design service shaped by a deep understanding of how you live. Each project is approached holistically, balancing architecture, materiality and atmosphere to create spaces of quiet refinement and enduring beauty.

New Builds
Working in close collaboration with architects and clients from the earliest stages, ensuring every detail is resolved with intention. The result is a home that feels cohesive, grounded and inherently timeless.

Renovations
Sensitive transformations that honour the existing while introducing a renewed clarity of space. Through thoughtful intervention, we refine flow, light and material expression to create a seamless sense of calm.

Furniture, Art & Object Curation
A layered and highly considered approach to sourcing and selection. Each piece is chosen for its integrity, character and ability to contribute to a cohesive and quietly expressive interior.

Custom Design & Fabrication
Bespoke elements designed with precision — from joinery to furniture — each piece carefully integrated to enhance both function and form.

Styling & Installation
The final, defining layer. With a focus on balance, restraint and detail, spaces are composed to feel resolved, effortless and deeply considered.

There is a large abstract painting above the fireplace, a marble and black side table with a lamp, and several plush dark blue chairs arranged around a brown area rug. Natural light fills the room from a large window to the right.
