Design lives in the in-between.
At The Better Between Design Studio, we believe that the most meaningful spaces are not dictated by trends or rigid rules—they exist in the balance between function and beauty, comfort and elegance, intention and spontaneity.
Founded by Maezelle Rafael, our studio is built on the idea that every home, office, or space should tell a story. Every project is an exploration of the “better between”—the subtle decisions, thoughtful details, and harmonious choices that make a space truly liveable, inspiring, and personal.
We specialize in residential and office interiors that are both modern and timeless, minimal yet warm, elegant yet approachable. From quiet corners to vibrant communal spaces, every design is tailored to the way people actually live and work.
Our Philosophy
We see design as a delicate balance. It’s about crafting spaces that feel natural and effortless, where beauty and practicality coexist, and where every detail reflects the personality of those who inhabit it. Our work is not about perfection—it’s about harmony.
Our Approach
- Listening first: understanding your story, lifestyle, and needs
- Conceptualizing with purpose: turning ideas into spaces that feel authentic
- Designing with intention: every element, color, and material serves a reason
- Delivering with care: projects completed thoughtfully, with attention to every detail
At The Better Between, our goal is simple: to create spaces where life happens beautifully, comfortably, and intentionally. Spaces that don’t just look good, but feel right.
