Welcome to Norwood Design Studio – a practice dedicated to creating spaces that feel thoughtfully curated, effortlessly timeless, and attuned to the rhythm of everyday life. We believe your home should reflect who you are and support the way you live, with beauty and intention at its core.

We craft personalized interiors tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you’re seeking comprehensive design support, guidance for a project already in motion, or help refining the details that make a space complete, we offer trusted guidance wherever you are in your design journey. From clarifying your goals and coordinating with contractors to thoughtfully sourcing materials, we balance form, function, and budget to create spaces that feel harmonious and aligned with your life.

Norwood Design Studio was founded by Kara Riggio, whose lifelong passion for shaping meaningful places began in her New England childhood within a multigenerational construction family. Her career in art education and urban planning informs her multidisciplinary approach – one that blends creativity, sustainability, and an intuitive understanding of how people inhabit space. Kara’s work is grounded in the belief that design should elevate daily life and create spaces clients are proud to call home.
