Byron Bay's design conversation has been stuck in a loop for years. The boho-coastal template gets repeated, slightly varied, and called bespoke. Studio LaLa's full design service in Byron is a deliberate counterpoint. I can do quiet and neutral well when the home and brief call for it, but the work that lights me up is the home that looks unmistakably its owner's, in a town where most homes look like everyone else's.
The studio is at Cabarita Beach, 35 minutes north of Byron, which makes site visits a regular cadence rather than an occasion. Cape Byron, Wategos, Tallow Beach, the streets behind the lighthouse: each has its own envelope of design freedom and constraint. Full interior design from $12,000 covers concept through install, all delivered by me directly. Three to six months for a multi-room scope, longer for renovations with structural work.
