Thoughtful design for spaces that reflect who you are

Studied Milieux isn’t just about physical space – it’s about the mood, energy, and rhythm of a home. Our spaces shape how we live, what we value, and how we want to feel each day. They’re where we relax, reflect, and connect – and they should feel intentional, effortless, and aligned with you.

I’m Liz Zankowski, founder of Studied Milieux. I work with clients who want flexible, focused design support – from refreshing a room to guidance on finishes, furniture, and layouts. My goal is to help you make confident, clear decisions without feeling overwhelmed, creating spaces that are functional, beautiful, and personal.

Many clients reach out when they’re seeking clarity – pulling a room together, refining a palette, or navigating choices that feel complicated. They value honest feedback, considered guidance, and a process that’s collaborative and tailored to their life.

At Studied Milieux, design starts with intention. Rather than chasing trends, I focus on creating spaces that reflect your tastes, habits, and how you want to feel at home. Thoughtful design isn’t about perfection – it’s about creating rooms that feel grounded, comfortable, and personal.

Ready to explore your space? Send me a message to start the conversation, and we’ll discuss how tailored design guidance can help – no full-scale renovation required.
