Hi, I’m Louise.
At Open Home Studio, we believe the most compelling homes are the ones that feel quietly considered - not overly styled, but thoughtfully put together. Created as a more thoughtful alternative to traditional home staging, Open Home Studio values restraint, warmth, and a lived-in feel over formulaic styling.
Based in Auckland, Open Home Studio offers design-led, premium styling and staging services that focus on balance, authenticity, and emotional connection.
Rather than relying on fixed packages or passing trends, each home is approached individually, with careful attention to layout, light, texture, and tone. Original art, quality designer furniture, and elevated homeware are used to create interiors that feel considered, aspirational, and enduring - spaces that resonate and invite buyers in.
Founder Louise Auld holds a Diploma in Interior Design and works closely with homeowners and real-estate agents to shape interiors that photograph beautifully while still feeling like real places people want to live in. Her approach is calm, collaborative, and detail-focused, ensuring each project feels tailored to the home, the market, and the moment.
The result is a refined, bespoke approach to styling that enhances a home’s natural appeal, supports strong sales campaigns, and helps buyers imagine themselves there.
My Approach
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. What sets Open Home Studio apart isn’t just the process—it’s the intention behind it.
Designed not just staged
At every stage, Open Home Studio stays true to a design led approach - creating considered, aspirational interiors shaped by restraint, quality, and intention.
Lasting impact
Designing spaces with emotional resonance and a refined, high-end feel - interiors that buyers connect with and can genuinely imagine themselves living in.
