MELISSA HAAK
Founded by interior designer Melissa Haak, Studio Haak creates quietly luxurious interiors defined by contemporary elegance and a subtle eclectic edge. Raised in South Africa and influenced by a childhood surrounded by architecture, Melissa brings a deep understanding of space together with a warm, intuitive approach to design.
Her background in the City, combined with a strong appreciation for craft, culture, and modern living, allows her to deliver interiors that balance beauty with practicality, creating homes that feel refined, personal, and built to evolve with the lives of those who live in them.
"For me, great design is about creating spaces that feel calm, considered and deeply personal, interiors that quietly elevate everyday living."
Melissa Haak
our philosophy
Our philosophy is guided by the belief that exceptional interiors are shaped by a thoughtful balance between form, function and feeling. Each project begins with a clear understanding of how a space should work, ensuring layout, flow and practicality form the foundation of the design.
Materials, colour, texture and carefully curated pieces are then layered to create interiors that feel calm yet expressive, refined yet full of character. Drawing on architectural insight, cultural influences and an intuitive approach, Studio Haak designs spaces that are elegant, enduring and naturally suited to modern living.

Kind Words
"We loved working with Melissa because of her creative ideas and beautiful room design which reflected our personalities. We also feel that Melissa really listened to what we wanted and even when we were not quite sure about our style she took the time to achieve a great look. She was so kind and patient through the interior design process. We could never have achieved the look that we ended up with ourselves, so we're thankful to Melissa for everything she did for us."
“Melissa helped us redecorate our living areas and guest cloakroom, and we were really pleased with the result. Her approach was collaborative as I wanted to be fully involved in the project. She was both professional and creative throughout the process, and came up with practical yet attractive solutions such as for water splashing in our cloakroom! I’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful interior design support.”
“Melissa was flexible and accommodating and always listened to my thoughts regarding the feel of each room, but then brought her ideas, vision and creativity to the space. She was reliable and communicative and we are very happy with the outcome of her designs and our house feels transformed.”
