Hello and welcome to KALINA.

Originally trained in psychology and following an international career in brand communications, I’m fascinated by emotional connection and story telling.

I founded STUDIO KALINA in 2023 on a mission to uncover what makes each individual feel uniquely ‘well at home’ and commit to creating this in the most sustainable way. My eye for mixing colours, patterns, textures and forms, means each project is a courageous and playful experiment in the art of self expression.

There is no one KALINA style. The magic is in the mix and inspired by you. Together, we boldly craft and curate your story, layer by layer, designing uniquely beautiful autobiographical spaces where you can feel good and live well.

GO SLOW TO GET HIGH is our guiding philosophy, placing your wellbeing at the heart of every project. We champion craftsmanship and sustainable brands, conserve and restore existing pieces and architectural details, curate vintage and antique collections, bring nature in, reduce waste and over-consumption. By bringing intention to what you buy and how you decorate, you get to make a difference and feel good - micro dosing on these thoughtful design decisions in your home every day.

If this has you excited and wanting to find out more, come join the slow home revolution:

• Call or email me to talk about how I can help you transform your home;

With love,

Kim X
