about the designer
Design Philosophy
Design isn’t just how a space looks—it’s how it makes you feel.
My approach is guided by calm, clarity, and connection. I focus on creating spaces that feel open, lived-in, and deeply personal. Whether it’s a cozy studio or a full home transformation, my goal is always the same: to design environments that reflect who you are and how you want to feel every day.
Inspired? Let’s Talk
Rooted in Culture. Designed for Calm.
about amala novak
With a multicultural background and a deep respect for harmony, I approach every space as a reflection of the people who live in it. My design work is not just about aesthetics—it's about creating a sense of peace, clarity, and belonging. I believe that a well-designed home doesn’t shout; it softly supports your life, your rhythms, your story. I’m based in Los Angeles, but my sensibilities are shaped by a global lens. My work draws from the natural ease of California living, the quiet beauty of Japanese minimalism, and the warmth of Mediterranean simplicity. I’m drawn to materials that tell stories—linen, wood, stone—and palettes that feel grounded and breathable.

My Process, Step by Step
Design Process
01
Discovery
We begin with a conversation—where I learn about your lifestyle, needs, and vision. Whether virtual or in-person, this is where we create connection and clarity.
02
Concept & Visioning
I create a moodboard, color story, and layout concepts that reflect your space and goals. We align on the direction before diving into details.
03
Design & Curation
From materials to furniture to flow, I thoughtfully design the space—balancing style and function with a focus on natural textures and soulful simplicity.
04
Sourcing & Execution
For full-service clients, I oversee sourcing and installation with a team of trusted artisans. For virtual projects, I provide curated links, setup instructions, and ongoing support.
05
The Final Touch
Whether you’re walking into your finished home or clicking through your design board, the final result should feel peaceful, personal, and perfectly you.

My process is thoughtful, collaborative, and built on respect—for your time, your taste, and your story. I take on a limited number of projects each season to ensure every client feels supported and seen.

Rooted in a multicultural perspective, my approach blends Eastern softness, California ease, and timeless European elegance—creating spaces that feel personal, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
Mindful, Client-First Process
The journey should feel as good as the reveal.With intention and calm communication, I guide you through each step—creating a collaborative, clear, and stress-free experience.
Spaces That Breathe & Belong
A home should support your life—not just style it. I design light-filled, functional spaces using natural materials and thoughtful flow to create interiors that feel elevated, effortless, and deeply personal.
Let’s Work Together
"We finally feel at home."
Full-Service Interior Design
Amala took our chaotic open space and transformed it into something calm, cohesive, and deeply us. She truly listened—not just to what we liked visually, but to how we wanted to feel in our home. Every detail, from the muted textures to the layout, supports how we live as a family.
Sarah & Alex B., Venice, CA
"I didn’t think calm design could feel this personal."
Sourcing & Styling Package
I was looking for a designer who understood both aesthetics and emotion—and that’s exactly what Amala delivered. She created a bedroom sanctuary that feels like a soft exhale at the end of a long day. Working with her was grounding, inspiring, and surprisingly emotional in the best way.
Lina T., Los Angeles, CA
"Her virtual service was shockingly effective"
Virtual Styling Session
I was hesitant about virtual design, but Amala’s guidance made it feel easy. She asked all the right questions, created a concept board that nailed my vision, and delivered a sourcing list that saved me so much time. It felt like working with a close friend who happens to have an incredible eye.

frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some common questions—so you can feel clear and confident before reaching out.
Is your work limited to Los Angeles?
How much do your services cost?
Do you offer styling for just one room?
What if it’s my first time with a designer?
What’s your design style?
How far in advance should I reach out?
Not at all. I work with clients throughout the U.S. (and occasionally abroad) through virtual design sessions and sourcing packages. Full-service design is available in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
Every project is unique, so pricing depends on the scope and level of support. After our discovery call, I’ll provide a custom proposal that outlines the timeline and investment clearly.
Yes! My styling and sourcing packages are perfect for individual spaces—whether it’s a bedroom refresh, a home office makeover, or finishing touches on a living room.
No problem at all. I intentionally keep the process calm and transparent—no jargon, no pressure. Whether this is your first design collaboration or your tenth, I’ll meet you where you are.
I specialize in warm minimalism—spaces that feel calm, natural, and modern with global inspiration woven throughout. I work with a wide range of personal styles and always tailor the design to reflect your vision, not just mine.
I typically book projects 1–2 months in advance, especially for full-service design. Even if you're in the early planning phase, it's never too soon to connect. Reaching out early helps us align timelines and ensure your space gets the attention it deserves.
