nordic simplicity

Interior Design Studio based in Dublin, Ireland

Blending timeless aesthetics with a scandinavian & nordic twist, our designs create serene, sophisticated spaces that celebrate simplicity and soulful living.

our approach

We call our approach Nordic simplicity. It’s about finding beauty in balance, where classic Danish design meets modern lines, where industrial edges soften into organic forms. Sculptural yet minimal. Light and shade. Always a dialogue of contrasts.

We design with curiosity and intention, crafting spaces that feel calm, considered and deeply human.

our services

  • Close-up of various fabric curtains hanging side by side in different colors and textures.

    Color & material consultation

    At Lou Joia Studio, we create bespoke colour, material, and design concepts tailored uniquely to you.

    Our detailed presentation includes carefully curated palettes for each relevant space, harmonising with the architecture, natural light, room function, and any existing furniture. Most importantly, every element is thoughtfully designed to reflect your personal style and vision.

  • A cozy living room corner with a textured armchair, a low black marble coffee table with books and a candle, and a side table with a black bust sculpture, a tall black vase with red flowers, and a book titled 'The Artist in His Studio'.

    Virtual interior design with a nordic twist

    We begin by creating a bespoke mood board to define your vision and aesthetic. This foundation guides the development of detailed floorplans and 3D renderings to ensure your space comes together seamlessly.

    Every design element, from finishes to furniture, is thoughtfully selected to balance style, function, and cohesion. You'll receive a comprehensive presentation and a fully shoppable item list with direct links. Rooted in Nordic design, our approach blends minimalist concepts with the warmth and comfort of hygge. You can expect clean lines, natural textures and a calming palette, along with a curated selection of pieces from renowned Nordic designers.

  • Two black leather chairs with wooden armrests and legs are positioned near a large window with black frames, with an abstract painting on the wall behind them. The space has a minimalistic and modern aesthetic.

our story

Lou Joia means La Joie, or joy, in Latin and it’s also a heartfelt nod to Chloe’s daughter, Lou Rose. At Lou Joia, we believe every home should be filled with beauty and meaning. Our mission is to bring joy into every space through carefully curated art, thoughtfully chosen furniture, and a deep appreciation for design that inspires emotion.

The story began with Chloe, the founder of Lou Joia. With over a decade of professional theatre experience, Chloe discovered her passion for contemporary painting in 2010, creating and selling her work to private collectors across France. In 2015, Chloe and her husband, Fabien, relocated to South Dublin. While both hold leadership roles in the corporate world, creativity has always remained at the heart of their lives. Fabien is a certified yoga instructor and Chloe completed her Interior Design Certification.

What started as a personal project soon sparked interest in the local community. After reimagining a newly built penthouse into a Nordic Parisian sanctuary, Chloe began receiving inquiries from neighbors, her followers on Instagram and clients alike. The response was overwhelmingly positive and the vision for Lou Joia Studio was born.

In early 2025, Chloe and Fabien moved into their custom-designed home, crafted over 18 months in collaboration with exceptional suppliers and artisans. Their interiors highlight outstanding Danish design, blending minimalism with soul, and showcasing timeless aesthetics, natural materials, and expert craftsmanship.

Let’s work together.

We’re looking forward to connecting with you and bringing your vision to life.
