CURATORIAL KIN ARE A melbourne BASED INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO, HERE TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR STYLE MOJO.

Interior design that feels as good as

|

Giving you effortless design for the pleasure of living. No more design fatigue, decision paralysis, or budget regret.

At the helm of Curatorial Kin is art-lover, dog-petter, design educator and qualified interior designer, Larissa Vendramini. With a decade of multi-faceted design behind me and a thirstiness for creativity, Curatorial Kin is my platform to offer accessible and attainable interior advice. Simply put, improving how you live through good design. 


Satisfying that sweet spot where function meets personal style to enhance your daily rituals.

The essence of Curatorial Kin, simply put, is about improving how you live through design.

My biggest design flex is the ability to curate an intimate visual story with the layers of your treasures, memories and essential ‘daily living stuff’, establishing cohesion across things that maybe don’t look like they can go together. Through uniting differences in tastes, elevating a beer budget or simply unearthing a stylish point of view amongst the daily grind.

TL:DR - Curatorial Kin is an interior design studio with a peppy can-do attitude to make your dreams come true. 


"The clear concept and planning was a seamless experience for us."

Uncertain how to use their renovation budget and unable to agree on a. single. thing. this couple were ready to sell their family home to escape their problems. Presented with a design headlining long-time kitchen dreams that united opposing tastes, Robyn and Angelo realised everything on their wish-list suddenly became possible.

THE PROJECT SCOPE

THE NITTY GRITTY

ROBYN + ANGELO

"Our new kitchen is perfect! The kitchen is now the uncontested heart of our home. The clear concept and planning was a seamless experience for us. Larissa is a magician! We were very conscious of our budget and considered not engaging a designer. Was it worth it? You bet it was!
 We have no hesitation in recommending Curatorial Kin and would engage Larissa’s services for future projects in a heartbeat. Thank you Larissa! We are looking forward to working with you again."

"Was it worth it?
You bet it was !"

"She asked thoughtful questions and put forward a vision which truly represents us. "

How quickly Larissa was able to understand exactly what we were after, sometimes before we even knew ourselves. Larissa was able to take our ramblings and turn them into something that we feel so confident about.



WHAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST ABOUT WORKING WITH AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

THE NITTY GRITTY

SHANNEN + ROB

"Larissa was so incredibly talented, patient and knowledgeable in helping us to design our home renovation, especially the open plan kitchen and living areas. Larissa asked thoughtful questions to understand our individual requirements and style we wanted for our home, and has put forward a vision which truly represents us.

 We were truly overwhelmed with the many decisions that were in front of us by taking on a big renovation project, but working with Larissa has really made it painless and enjoyable! Without hesitation we would recommend to anyone taking on a project to engage with Larissa. We’re so excited to see everything come to life!"

"We're so excited to see everything come to life !"  

"We couldn't be happier! She was collaborative and understanding - a professional at what she does."

Understanding furniture placement and size in a space.

What was the biggest obstacle Curatorial Kin helped you to overcome?


THE NITTY GRITTY

TAYLOR + EDWIN

"We were lucky enough to have Larissa assist us with designing our open planned lounge/dining and kitchen area. She helped with pairing colours that flowed from the kitchen and see a different side to sourcing furniture whilst listening and respecting our needs and ideas. She was collaborative and understanding while being a professional at what she does. Couldn't be happier!"

"Larissa listened and respected our needs and ideas."

"Her talent guided me through the process to achieve an end result I couldn't have even imagined."

Considering I didn't know much about design before working with Larissa, I definitely get a lot more excited and confident with my style around the home now! My favourite feature of the bathroom transformation would have to be the wet room with the spacious walk in shower and bath.

Since working with Larissa, what detail or design feature are you most hyped about?

THE NITTY GRITTY

LARA

"I thought an interior designer would just tell me what to do, but no - it was more about guiding me to find a design I absolutely loved and I didn't even know it. Larissa is a talented professional who guided me though the process to achieve an end result I couldn't have even imagined at the beginning. Being able to relax and unwind in my bath with a glass of wine in the beautiful space we created is everything I needed."

"The beautiful space we created is everything I needed."

"Larissa is efficient, enthusiastic and just understands how to achieve what we want."

Gaining guidance, inspo and product sourcing while we are renovating our home.

WHAT MADE YOU REACH OUT TO CURATORIAL KIN FOR YOUR PROJECT?

THE NITTY GRITTY

CHERIE + ALEX

"Hiring Curatorial Kin has been the best decision in our renovation journey. Figuring out our aesthetic and design wants and needs does not come easily to us so having Larissa's experienced advice has been fantastic. Larissa is efficient, enthusiastic and just understands how to achieve what we want. The most helpful part of the service was the mock up designs. We aren't visual people so her patience in creating options and then amending those options based on our likes and dislikes was so helpful!!"

"The best decision in our renovation journey was hiring Curatorial Kin."
