About Alér Design Studio

Hello and welcome to Alér Design Studio (ADS). I’m Riya, principal designer and founder of ADS, a full-service interior design studio based in Toronto, Ontario, specializing in residential design. Every aspect of the design process is meticulously overseen, from selecting finishes, furnishings, fabrics, lighting, and accessories to providing detailed drawings and renderings to help visualize the space.

Alér Design Studio is a labour of love, and our goal is simple: to craft intentionally thought-out spaces that honour your roots. By this, we mean that we aim to pay homage to your personal story, needs, and vision, while incorporating natural materials and textures - wood, stone, layered fabrics, and thoughtful details - to create a home that feels grounded, connected, and timeless. A home is where we plant our roots, grow our families, foster meaningful connections, and make lasting memories - and ADS is here to help make that happen.

We believe in creating homes where every element has meaning, comfort meets craftsmanship, and your family can grow and thrive. Our designs are inviting, timeless, and deeply personal - spaces that feel uniquely yours while standing the test of time.
