Based in Newport on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Howard Lane Designs is an award-winning boutique interior design studio, nationally recognised as the winner of KBDi People’s Choice Award - Bathroom Design of the Year 2025.
We design kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces that are deeply personal, thoughtfully considered and grounded in the realities of everyday living.
Our studio is intentionally not defined by a singular aesthetic. Instead, we work collaboratively with our clients to create homes that feel distinctly their own. While no two projects are the same, our work is unified by a sense of quiet luxury, intention and refinement.
Each project begins with careful listening and considered dialogue. We take the time to understand how you live, what matters most to you and how your home needs to function, ensuring every design decision is informed and purposeful. For busy professionals navigating a renovation, this means being guided with clarity, confidence and calm throughout the process.
Our designs are created for real life. For family dinners, quiet weekends, entertaining friends and yes, even the dog hair, crumbs and beautiful imperfections that make a house your home.
If you're ready to begin your design journey, I’d love to hear from you.
