Maria Cerne is the founder and interior designer of Studio Black Interiors

I am a little obsessed with interiors. Born to a commercial builder and a very stylish mama, building and style are in my genes.

Having worked for over 17 years in advertising and marketing, I now combine this experience with my passion for interiors, styling, homewares, renovation and design. I am a qualified Interior Decorator and have recently completed a Diploma of Interior Design.

Interior design is my ‘happy place’, my niche, which I discovered after having managed the renovation and decoration of several residential properties, including a new build.

Recognising that decorating a room, or completing a renovation or new build can often be daunting – and for some, an overwhelming task –  I offer a one-on-one personalised service to create your customised, dream space.

With my keen eye for detail, and using an intuitive approach to styling and design, let me help you create a space you love coming home to, a space that tells your story, that’s not only gorgeous, but functional and practical.

When not designing, I’m mum to two beautiful young girls and married to Michael, my sports obsessed husband.
