RAW. MOOD. STUDIO

The Raw Mood Studio in Tauranga, designed and created by Dayna Howell. This is where clients come to shape the mood, materials and direction of their home.

Interiors with depth and character

Raw. Mood. Studio creates interiors with depth, character, and a sense of longevity.

Homes that feel personal, cohesive, and far removed from the usual clean, flat, trend led spaces.

Inspired by moody vintage interiors, mountain modern architecture, and timeless design, I design spaces that feel layered, collected, and quietly bold.

Built around three principles: Raw, Mood, and Cohesion.

Raw is the foundation, honest materials, timber with grain, stone with variation, and finishes that embrace texture and imperfection.

Mood is what gives a home presence through deep colour, contrast, wallpaper, vintage influence, and tactile layers that create atmosphere and warmth.

Cohesion ties it all together, carrying materials, tones, and details from room to room so the entire home feels calm, connected, and complete.

From mood boards to full design concepts, Raw. Mood. Studio is for those who want more than a beautiful house.

It’s for those drawn to character but unsure how to bring it together, creating homes with story, substance, and a pure pleasure to live in.
