An award-winning studio dedicated to creating homes that reflect the way you live.
Founded in 2014 by industry leader Lisa Alward, Bella Vie Interiors is a boutique interior design studio devoted to creating spaces that feel both timeless and deeply personal. The studio approaches each project with a rigorous focus on proportion, materiality, and the relationship between light and space. Interior architecture and furnishings are resolved as a cohesive whole.
From the initial concept through to final installation, every stage is managed with meticulous care. Each decision is intentional, each material selected for its texture, tone, and longevity, and each detail considered for its contribution to the overall composition. The result is an interior that feels complete, cohesive, and quietly refined.
At Bella Vie, we believe true luxury is understated. It is expressed through restraint and the thoughtful layering of elements that reveal themselves gradually over time. Every project reflects the client’s vision while maintaining a sense of clarity and balance that endures well beyond the present moment.
