Principal-led interior design for custom homes, knockdown rebuilds and major renovations across Canberra
STUDIO BLACK INTERIORS BRINGS A HIGHLY CONSIDERED, HOLISTIC APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF CANBERRA HOMES.
Led by Principal Designer Maria Cerne, the studio draws on more than a decade of residential design experience, with expertise spanning spatial planning, joinery, materials, fixtures, lighting and interior detailing.
Every project is personally led by Maria, maintaining a consistent design vision from the earliest planning decisions through to construction.
A COMPLETE DESIGN EXPERIENCE
Exceptional homes don’t happen by chance. They are the result of hundreds of carefully considered decisions working together.
Studio Black provides a comprehensive interior design service, working alongside homeowners, architects and builders from the earliest planning stages through to construction.
Rather than considering rooms, finishes and fixtures in isolation, every element is resolved as part of the broader design vision, creating a cohesive home where every element belongs.
Services include:
- Floor plan review and spatial planning
- Kitchen, bathroom and custom joinery design
- Interior and exterior material selections
- Fixtures, fittings and appliances
- Lighting and electrical planning
- Furniture, artwork and interior decoration
EXPERTISE ACROSS THE ENTIRE HOME
Our clients value good design, but they also understand that creating an exceptional home requires more than selecting beautiful finishes.
It requires interconnected decisions around proportion, functionality, materials, lighting, joinery and detail, many of which need to be resolved well before construction begins.
Studio Black brings those decisions together under one clear design vision, balancing aesthetics with functionality, longevity and the realities of construction.
MORE THAN A DECADE OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Founded by Principal Designer Maria Cerne, Studio Black Interiors has spent more than a decade designing homes across Canberra.
The studio’s work has received industry awards and recognition and has been featured in Australian design publications.
Much of Studio Black’s work comes through referrals from past clients, builders, architects and industry professionals, a reputation built on considered design, detailed documentation and a high level of personal involvement.
PRINCIPAL-LED BY DESIGN
Studio Black is intentionally a boutique design practice.
Every project is personally led by Principal Designer Maria Cerne, from the earliest design conversations through to construction.
There are no handovers between designers. The person you engage is the person who develops the design, attends your meetings, works alongside your architect and builder, and remains across every detail as your home takes shape.
To maintain this level of involvement, Studio Black accepts a limited number of comprehensive projects each year.
HOMES DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOU LIVE
The most successful homes aren’t built around trends. They’re built around people.
Studio Black approaches each project individually, considering not only how a home should look, but how it should function, feel and evolve over time.
Natural materials, thoughtful detailing and an emphasis on longevity create interiors that endure, while the architecture, location and people who live there give each home its own identity.
