my mission:

Are you dreaming of a home that truly reflects your style and personality? But perhaps you feel overwhelmed by the process, lacking the confidence to take the leap?
I understand. I’ve been there myself. That's why I founded Naturally Smart Interiors – to empower women like you to create a home that not only looks stunning but supports your dream lifestyle.
I know that designing your home can feel intimidating, which is why I prioritise making the process fun, supportive, and totally transparent.
ABOUT ME
hi, i'm riana
I love order and aesthetic appeal and work to create spaces that bring beauty and thoughtful design to other’s lives.
My journey started like many others - always rearranging my bedroom as a child, but I didn’t pursue design right away...
MY JOURNEY
I spent over two decades in IT, using my tech skills to solve complex problems, but interior design kept calling to me, so I enrolled in a design course while still working in my tech job, completing my coursework in the evenings in my hotel room, while working away from home.
The pandemic brought a unique opportunity, freeing up the time I would normally spend traveling for work. I used this time to hone my design skills, practising on my own home and helping friends and family.
When I was made redundant from my tech job, I saw my chance to follow my true passion and went full time with interior design and I haven’t looked back since.
I realised that the biggest hurdle for many is the fear of the unknown.
THE SECRET
I taught myself to create 3D visualisations because, initially I wanted reassurance that my design ideas would work.
that's when it clicked
Visualisations can take the uncertainty out of design and give you the courage to go for your dream home!
Now, I use my unique blend of tech expertise and interior design passion to help homeowners just like me create beautiful spaces that reflect their style and personality.
