The Studio
A studio of one — and the trades she trusts.
Founder
Rosanna Pappalardo
Principal Designer
Rosanna founded RJP Design & Decor on the Sunshine Coast in 2009 — after fifteen years between Sydney and Brisbane, designing kitchens for people who cook and bathrooms for people who actually use them.
The work is residential. Always. The brief is almost always the same: warm, layered, never beige. The detail is what changes.
She works with a small, careful network of trades, makers, and photographers — most of them within an hour's drive of the studio.
Philosophy
Restraint, not minimalism. Warmth, not prettiness. Rooms that look like the people who live in them — and ask very little of them in return.
How we work
Considered
Every choice earns its place. Nothing is decorative for the sake of it.
Collaborative
Your vision, our craft. The best brief is one we shape together.
Quietly delivered
We don't court the camera. The work speaks. Or it doesn't.
A note from a client
"We came in with Pinterest boards and a half-formed idea. We left with a home that feels like the version of us we always meant to be."
