A boutique studio based in Melbourne and the Surf Coast
Soulful Interior Design Services
At the heart of Pip Johnson Studio is a simple belief: every space holds potential — our role is to reveal it through thoughtful interior design services and collaboration.
For a decade, Pip has shaped spaces that feel warm, dimensional and quietly nostalgic — places where texture, tone and atmosphere work together to create emotional resonance.
The Studio emerged whilst Pip was juggling other corporate interior design roles in Melbourne, with projects initially city-based but having since trickled down to the Surf Coast - an area Pip adores and spent a lot of her childhood.
Our approach centres on crafting spaces with soul, where every material, tone and detail contributes to a story that unfolds over time. We love the collaboration process, offering a highly personalised interior design service to build trust, clarity and our client’s dream for the space - ensuring the end result is captivating for all intended to enjoy it.
While we’re proudly based in Melbourne and the Surf Coast, the way we work is fluid. Pip frequently collaborates on projects remotely, and our design process adapts seamlessly to location — whether you’re in regional Victoria, interstate or working internationally.
Meet Pip
Partial to a lovely glass of pinot and a great restaurant, Pip finds joy in whatever she pursues. She’s a creative soul to her core, yet a master of multitasking and efficiency - as the mother of three young kids, the juggle is real.
Pip brings a rare dual perspective to her work, creating settings that are both emotionally resonant and commercially intelligent. Throughout her career and being exposed to many areas of design - from residential and commercial, to workplace and hospitality - Pip gravitates to hospitality venues for the unique briefs, fast paced nature of the work, collaboration on site and the joy of watching a client experience the completed project.
“I'm so lucky to continue to work with such creative and forward thinking clients that consistently trust me and allow the projects to come alive.”Our Philosophy
We exist to uncover the hidden potential within every space, balancing edge with familiarity; sophistication with soul.
Our work blends architectural discipline with expressive materiality: the grain of timber, the softness of linen, the weight of stone, the patina of brass. These subtle details become the backbone of our interiors - creating depth, warmth and a sense of lived-in authenticity.
