Concept Design

A flat-lay of materials on a stone table: folded textiles in olive velvet, rust bouclé, oatmeal linen and striped ticking; a length of dark walnut; two tumbled travertine tiles and a bronze square; a carved wooden bowl and a small brass dish; a paint card running from chalk white to deep olive; and three photographic prints — a hillside villa among cypresses, a plastered room with a vase on a console, and a doorway in a bare stone hall.

Finding the direction before making the decisions. For clients who know their home needs a new direction but aren’t quite sure what that looks like yet, Concept Design establishes the creative foundation for a space. We begin by understanding the architecture, your existing pieces, how you use the room and the atmosphere you want to create. From there, we develop a considered visual direction that brings the possibilities into focus. The result is a cohesive concept that gives you confidence in the decisions ahead, whether you choose to implement the design yourself or continue working with us.

Start with your space

Complete Design

A kitchen part way through installation: an island faced in bookmatched marble running from pale cream to dark grey-brown, full-height oak cabinetry behind it and a marble worktop along the wall. The work is not finished — a joiner's trestle stands under the worktop overhang, a paint-stained metal bucket sits on the floor, a tool case rests against the wall and trestle tables fill the room beyond. Protective boards taped at their seams cover the floor throughout.

From the first idea to the finished room. For clients undertaking a renovation, refurbishment or furnishing project and looking for a fully considered design, our Complete Design service takes the project from initial concept through to completion. We look at the home as a whole, considering how spaces connect, how the architecture can be enhanced and how materials, furniture, lighting and objects can work together to create something that feels both cohesive and personal. We work collaboratively with the wider project team ensuring that the original design intent is carried through from the first drawing to the final detail. The aim is not simply to make a beautiful room, but to create a home that feels as though it has evolved naturally around the people who live there.

Take us through the house

Sourcing & Curation

Objects arranged along a dark oak console against a plastered wall: an aged terracotta vessel holding olive branches, a small carved stone sculpture pierced through its centre, a shallow bowl in oxblood-and-white marble, and a slim brass candlestick with a pale unlit candle. A large dark canvas in a timber frame leans on the wall behind them.

Our Sourcing & Curation service brings together furniture, lighting, textiles, artwork, antiques and objects to create a home that feels collected rather than decorated. We search across contemporary design, vintage and antique pieces, independent makers, galleries and specialist suppliers to find things that are right for your space. We consider not only what belongs in your home, but why it belongs there.

Consulting

Two people working across a dark timber table, seen from the chest down. One, in a black jumper, holds a pen over a printed floor plan; the other, in a cream knit, rests a hand on a second plan beside it. Material samples are spread around them — a travertine tile, a timber board, folded wools and linens in oatmeal, olive and dark brown, and a strip of paint chips. A laptop sits closed at the far edge of the table beside a stoneware mug.

A considered point of view, when you need one. Sometimes you don’t need a full interior design service. You simply need an expert to look at the bigger picture. Our Consulting service provides focused, tailored design advice for clients who want professional guidance while remaining closely involved in the project themselves. We can help you make decisions before they become expensive ones, from understanding what to do with an awkward room to choosing between materials, reviewing a renovation plan or bringing greater cohesion to an existing home. Consulting can be a single focused session or a series of conversations as your project develops. The intention is simple: to give you clarity, confidence and a considered design perspective before you make the next decision.
