Helping International Homeowners Create Cohesive Homes in Italy

Boutique Interior Guidance, Textile Curation & On-the-Ground Support. Tuscany, Rome, Milan and beyond.

Creating a home in Italy from abroad can feel both exciting and overwhelming. While architects and contractors oversee the technical aspects of a renovation, the final layers of the home - the atmosphere, softness and cohesion - are often left unresolved.

Five Atelier was created to help bridge that gap.

I work with international homeowners to help refine and complete their homes through interior guidance, bespoke soft furnishings and thoughtful on-the-ground coordination throughout the finishing phase of a project.

My Services

INTERIOR GUIDANCE & TEXTILE DIRECTION

I help clients define a cohesive direction for their interiors through curated textile schemes, furnishing guidance and finishing selections tailored to the home.

This may include:

Curtains & Roman shades
Cushions & upholstery
Rugs & lampshades
Fabric sourcing & palette development
Styling and finishing layers

BESPOKE SOFT FURNISHINGS

Made-to-measure soft furnishings crafted in Italy and tailored specifically to the space.

I collaborate with trusted local artisans and suppliers to create refined, highly personal interiors with careful attention to detail and proportion.

ON-THE-GROUND COORDINATION & LOCAL SUPPORT

Many renovate or furnish homes in Italy while living abroad. I offer practical on-the-ground support throughout the furnishing and finishing process, helping clients navigate decisions remotely with greater clarity and confidence.

Depending on the project, this may include:

Site visits & measurements
Liaising with local artisans and installers
Installation coordination
Assisting with finishing decisions
Helping ensure the project comes together cohesively

While I am not an architectural or construction firm, I often collaborate with homeowners, architects and local trades during the finishing stages of a project.

WORKING WITH INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS

Are you trying to balance renovations, travel and busy lives abroad while trying to create a home in Italy that feels personal, warm and cohesive?

I act as a trusted local presence - helping bridge communication, refine decisions and bring together the final layers that transform a property into a home.

Projects may range from a single room textile scheme to larger furnishing and finishing collaborations across Tuscany, Rome, Milan and beyond.

The Process

INITIAL CONSULTATION

We begin with a conversation to understand the property, your lifestyle and the overall direction of the project.

INTERIOR & TEXTILE DIRECTION

I develop a curated design direction tailored to the architecture and atmosphere of the home.

SOURCING, MAKING & COORDINATION

I source fabrics and furnishings while coordinating with trusted local artisans, suppliers and installers where needed.

INSTALLATIONS & FINAL LAYERS

I oversee the final textile and furnishing elements to ensure a cohesive and refined result.
