The Nave.studio

The Nave is a Christchurch-based interior design studio working with clients across New Zealand and abroad. Founded on craft and intentional living, the studio creates considered interiors that balance simplicity, natural elegance and practical needs. Its approach goes beyond making rooms beautiful: each project is shaped to foster calm, belonging and harmony, with spaces designed to feel as though they have always suited the people who live in them.

The Nave works on renovations and new builds, from early collaboration with architects and builders through to fully turn-key projects. Services include kitchen, bathroom and laundry design; interior and exterior colour schemes; soft furnishings; custom joinery and furniture; and curtains, blinds and sheers. The studio also offers pre-sale presentation advice, helping homeowners identify thoughtful, cost-effective improvements before listing. Clients can engage the team for a defined package, hourly guidance, a single room or a complete home. The Nave welcomes residential and commercial enquiries, bespoke furniture commissions and creative direction partnerships, bringing careful attention to proportion, materials, light and detail throughout.
