Sur is a Brisbane interior design and furnishing studio bringing clarity and guidance to the design process.
Designing spaces that feel as good as they look.
At Sur, our approach to Brisbane interior design starts with how a home is really lived in. The rhythm of the day, the way you move through a space, and the small details that make it feel like home.
A considered approach to interior design in brisbane
Whether it's a full renovation, a new build or reworking a much-loved home, we bring clarity and direction at every stage.
We look at the space as a whole – how it flows, how it functions, and how it will be experienced day to day. From there, each layer is carefully developed including materials, finishes, joinery, lighting and furniture, all working together in a way that feels calm and resolved.
We focus on creating interiors that feel intentional, resolved and personal, without ever feeling overdone or trend-driven. Because the best spaces don't just look good. They feel right to live in.

What it’s like to work with a Brisbane interior designer
“Working with Kath not only saved me an incredible amount of time and effort in renovating and decorating my place but also resulted in a beautifully styled apartment that I couldn't have done myself.
She invested the time to get to know me, what styles I liked as well as how I wanted to work with her to create and execute a custom project that would suit me. This meant that the process and outcome went so smoothly and without stress. She was very responsive if I had any questions and had excellent communication overall.”

We specialise in residential projects across Brisbane – renovations and new builds – partnering with homeowners as well as architects, builders and developers
-
Our core service is creating homes that are thoughtfully planned, functional and aligned with the way you live — without the stress of trying to resolve everything yourself.
You are guided by an experienced partner throughout the process, providing clarity at each stage and with every decision.
We develop the interior design for your home from early planning through to completion, selecting materials, finishes, colour, fixtures, joinery and lighting. It's then documented clearly so everything is considered, cohesive and ready to price and build before it reaches site.

A focused service for renovation and new build projects that require clarity around selections.
We define a material and colour direction and prepare a detailed schedule, ensuring all finishes and fixtures are aligned and ready for implementation.

The final layer of the home.
Whether it completes a renovation, brings a home together as it is, or furnishes a new residence from the ground up, this is where a space becomes truly liveable. We extend the design into furniture, artwork and styling, scaled to the rooms and placed to make the most of the light and the outlook.
For developers and builders, we also create turnkey furniture packages — one point of contact handling the look, the sourcing, the ordering, the delivery and the styling, so a residence can settle or sell beautifully furnished, with no one needing to manage furniture, logistics or trades.
Meet your brisbane interior designer
Sur Studio is led by Kath Sheehan, whose experience across both design and construction allows her to seamlessly bring the two together.
It means furnishing or interior design decisions are made with the build, the budget and the outcome in mind, not just the look.
For homeowners that means fewer surprises along the way. For builders and architects it means a design partner who speaks their language and hands over work that's ready to deliver.
Her work is grounded in creating interiors that balance beauty with liveability, where every decision supports the way a home feels day to day, as well as how it evolves over time.
The result is spaces that feel considered, timeless and deeply connected to the people who live in them.
