ALTER design studio

Not every piece needs to explain itself.

The Ginger ottoman comes in four colours, sage, sand, terracotta, and stone. At the end of a bed, beside a chair, or pulled up when there aren't enough seats. They work because they don't try too hard.

If you've ever asked us where something came from, now you can just shop it.

Alter & Co. is live. Everything in the shop reflects how we design, what we reach for, and what we believe makes a home feel right.

Something we've been quietly working on is now live.

Alter & Co. is our online home shop, a way to bring the Alter Design Studio aesthetic home without the commitment of a full design project.

Thoughtfully chosen. Warm, intentional, and always evolving.

Head to or the link in our bio to explore the shop. We think you'll love it.

The hardest thing to design for isn't a style. It's a feeling.

Polished but not precious. Thoughtful but not stiff. The kind of home that looks considered and still lets you live freely in it. That balance doesn't come from following a formula. It comes from listening.

"Our home feels polished yet welcoming, thoughtfully designed yet relaxed and livable. It's exactly what we were hoping for."

Spring has a way of pulling you outside.

This is the space that makes it easy to stay there. Fire going, blanket close, nowhere else to be. Designed for the kind of evening that turns into night without anyone noticing.

Stillness isn't something you add to a room. It's what's left when every decision has been made.

That's what we're designing for.

The before had its era. The after has no era at all.

We stripped back a very nineties whirlpool bath bathroom and replaced it with something quieter. A spa-like ensuite built around natural light, large-format tile, and a freestanding soaker tub that needs no explanation. This is the room you earn at the end of the day.

Every square inch of a home tells you something about the designer.

This one needed to feel generous without being large. To offer everything a bigger home could, without pretending to be one. That's not a square footage problem. That's a design problem — and it's one we love to solve.

"She maximized functionality without compromising aesthetics, and the result feels open, efficient, and incredibly well thought out."

Not every transformation announces itself. This one earns a second look.

What was once a traditional living room became something more intentional. A dedicated bar and lounge that reflects how this family actually lives. Warm wood, considered lighting, and a moment designed to be returned to.

The clients who are hardest to design for are often the ones who get the most extraordinary results.

Not because they're difficult. Because they care. Because they come with strong instincts, scattered ideas, and a vision they can feel but can't quite say out loud. That's not a problem to solve. That's exactly where the work begins.

This is what one of those clients had to say.

"She translated our vague direction into a home that feels completely unique and unmistakably us — just far more refined and cohesive than we could have achieved on our own."
