ZAREN
01

01
02
Living room
Eclectic Transitional
A burgundy sofa, deep blue walls and pattern flirting with pattern. This room did not come to whisper.
03
Playroom
Playful
Deep blue walls, a big forgiving sofa and space to play hard. Built for marathon play sessions, styled enough that the grown ups linger too.
04
Home office
Modern Eclectic
Burgundy built in shelves, a wall of books and a desk that means business. Procrastination has very few places to hide in here.
05
Living room
Modern Transitional
Blue panelled walls and a grand piano, very fancy. Then the floral sofa walks in and keeps the whole room from taking itself too seriously.
06
Kitchen and dining
Modern Transitional
A bright, happy kitchen with blue stools lined up like they are waiting for pancakes. Breakfast meetings are very welcome here.
07
Living room
Modern Transitional
A warm wood slat wall, soft light and a layout that pulls everybody into the same conversation. Phones tend to lose this fight.
08
Living room
Classic American
The timeless American living room, with the color and comfort knobs turned all the way up. Everyone is welcome, shoes optional.
09
Primary bedroom
Warm Traditional
Soft green walls and layers of calm in every corner. A bedroom that lowers your heart rate the second you walk in.
10
Kitchen
Transitional
Warm wood cabinets with sage green touches. Cooking in here feels slower, and I mean that as the highest compliment.
11
Living and play area
Eclectic
One room with two jobs: movie nights for the grown ups, play headquarters for the kids. Mustard and burgundy make the double shift look easy.
12
Primary bedroom
Warm Traditional
Green walls, crisp white bedding and morning light doing half the decorating for free. Nature gets a co designer credit on this one.
13
Living room
Warm Transitional
A deep green feature wall, a squishy sectional and art that starts conversations at dinner parties. Cozy, but make it bold.
14
Primary bedroom
Warm Transitional
Warm neutrals, soft layers and a bed that looks exactly like a Sunday morning feels. Alarm clocks hate it here.
Mood boards, where every project begins
Before any 3D, there is the mood board: the palette, the textures and the feeling of your room, set in one place. It is part of The Edit and The Full Experience, and it is how you approve the direction before anything else happens.

13An architect who knows what your space is missing
Zaren Studio was founded by Giovanna, a Brazilian architect and interior designer based in the United States. With more than 300 spaces designed, her work is known for being deeply personal and visually distinctive. Each project carries a strong identity of its own.
Giovanna brings a Brazilian creative perspective to American interiors: a sensibility shaped by warmth, boldness, and an instinct for spaces that feel alive. The result is never a generic room. It is always unmistakably yours.
And yes, there will be color. Beige is lovely as a background. It was never meant to be the whole personality of a house.
- Trained architect. Space planning is my home turf, pretty is just the bonus.
- Remote by design. Complete projects built from your photos, measurements and briefing, wherever in the US you are.
- Written and clear. Everything arrives by email, documented and organized, so you can review at your own pace.
- Color is the signature. Eclectic, transitional, traditional, glam. If the room has a pulse, I am interested.
THE 5 STEPS
Five steps, one per letter, that take your room from "it's fine, I guess" to unmistakably yours. This is the backbone of every package, from The Preview to The Full Experience.
Z
Zone Your Space
First, we map how you actually live in the room: where you read, work, gather, unwind. Every zone gets a job before anything gets pretty.
A
Anchor With Color
Then we choose the color that holds the whole room together, the anchor everything else orbits around. This is where the room gets its pulse.
R
Refine Your Layers
Texture, pattern, lighting, textiles: the layers that make a room feel finished instead of assembled. Refined one by one, never all at once.
E
Edit With Intention
Now we cut. What stays earns its place, what goes makes room for what matters. Editing is what separates designed from decorated.
N
Now It's Yours
The final touches land, the shopping list is in your hands, and the room stops looking like a reference photo and starts looking like you.
Three ways to work together
One room at a time, three depths of design. Pick the pace that fits your project, or pick "Not sure yet" in the form and I will help you choose before we begin.

Questions, answered
How does the process work?
It starts with the intake form, where you share your space, what you want to keep, and your style references. After you submit it, you'll receive a secure payment link by email for your chosen package. Once payment is confirmed, you'll receive access to your private client portal. Next, you'll receive a briefing form with more specific questions about your space, so I can fully understand your preferences and needs. From there, the process moves through the stages included in your chosen package. Everything is delivered by email.
What's the difference between the three packages?
The Preview ($167) includes an Idea Board (a visual reference panel that sets the direction for your space), a Custom Color Palette, and a curated shopping list of 10 products with direct purchase links, with no revision round. The Edit ($497) includes an Idea Board, 1 Moodboard (a panel of curated, suggested items for your space), a Custom Color Palette, a full shopping list with direct purchase links, and 1 Revision Round. The Full Experience ($997) includes an Idea Board, 2 Moodboards, a Custom Color Palette, Space Layout, 3D Rendering, a full shopping list with direct purchase links, and 2 Revision Rounds. Each stage is delivered according to what's included in your chosen package.
Do you shop for me, or is it just a list?
You'll receive a shopping list of curated, suggested items for your space, each with a direct purchase link. The actual purchase is up to you, on your own time and budget.
Can I request changes if I don't love the first direction?
Yes. The Edit ($497) includes 1 Revision Round and The Full Experience ($997) includes 2 Revision Rounds. The Preview ($167) is a single, one-time delivery with no revision round, which is why it's designed as a quick, budget-friendly first direction. Keep in mind that each revision round adds to the final delivery timeline. The more specific and detailed you are in the briefing form, the easier it is to nail the direction from the start, reducing the need for adjustments.
Do I need to be available for calls?
No. The entire process happens by email, with no calls or meetings. This lets the work be thoughtfully considered, and lets you participate at your own pace.
What do you need from me to get started?
Photos of your space (up to 8, wide angles work best), the dimensions of the room, what you want to keep, style references (including a Pinterest board, if you have one), and anything you want to avoid. After the intake, you'll also complete a briefing form with more specific questions about your space, so I can fully understand your preferences and needs.
Do you work with clients outside the United States?
Yes! The process is entirely remote and communication happens by email (hello@zarenstudio.com), which means clients anywhere in the world can work with Zaren Studio, not just in the US. Email response time is within 1 business day.
How does payment work?
After you submit the intake form (the form on this page), you'll receive a secure payment link by email for your chosen package. Once payment is confirmed, you'll receive access to your private client portal within 24 hours. Access is through the link itself, no login or password required, so it's simple and quick: just save the link to check in on your project whenever you'd like.
What if I'm not sure which package is right for me?
No problem! The intake form includes a "Not sure yet — Help me choose" option, and I'll help you figure out the best fit before we begin.
How long does it take to receive my project?
It depends on the package: The Preview in 3 to 5 days, The Edit in under 1 week, and The Full Experience in 1 to 2 weeks. This timeline begins on your project's start date, which is scheduled with you after payment is confirmed and your completed briefing form is received (this is a separate form from the intake form on this page). Your start date may be adjusted based on availability, and will always be confirmed with you by email. Keep in mind that any revision rounds requested in The Edit and The Full Experience extend the final delivery timeline.
What's the cancellation policy?
If you cancel before your project's scheduled start date, you'll receive a 50% refund of the amount paid. Once the project has started, no refund is available, as design and curation work is already underway at that point.
Can I switch packages after booking?
Package changes are not permitted once payment is confirmed. We recommend reviewing the packages carefully, and if you're unsure, using the "Not sure yet — Help me choose" option on the intake form (the form on this page) before finalizing your choice.
Your home should feel like you.
Let's create a space that tells your story. Start with the form above, or reach me directly, I read everything and I reply by email, obviously.
