Laughland Jones Interior Design

Creating beautifully crafted interiors in properties across Britain and the Alpine regions of France and Switzerland.

Based in South East England, Laughland Jones has established itself as a unique company with an excellent reputation. Creating bespoke interiors in properties across Britain and the Alpine regions of France and Switzerland. Re-branded from Design Forum Interiors, Laughland Jones has been offering a bespoke architectural interior design service to a discerning clientele since 1995. The company was founded with a commitment to delivering elegant, well balanced interior design for both private and commercial clients. Although our work is predominantly alpine and UK based, our designs are tailored to the clients needs, as such we have also done work further afield. One project in Canada has been voted the world’s best ski property for the last 3 years. Our team are passionate about crafting interiors which reflect the needs of the client, with impeccable attention to detail. As well as sourcing the very best furnishings from all over the world, we frequently design and commission bespoke pieces to perfectly fit the look and feel of each room.

From the mountains of Méribel to the curved walls of a Cotswolds dovecote, this client has taken us to some wonderful places.

Having worked together on their chalet, they invited us back around five years ago to help transform this beautiful dovecote into a one-bedroom holiday retreat, bringing their clear vision and eclectic taste to an altogether different setting.

Designing around the dovecote’s curves meant carefully considering how furniture would sit, how people would move through each room and how to make the most of its unusual proportions. With listed-building constraints and restricted access to consider too, finding the right furniture or makers was certainly a worthwhile task.

Original nesting niches are now softly illuminated, while a new staircase makes use of the building’s remarkable height. Traditional fabrics, rich textures and a nod to English heritage bring warmth to spaces made for slow mornings, games and evenings at the bar.

And now our attention turns back to the mountains as Max Laughland gets his kit ready for his World Cup debut this December at Copper Mountain, Colorado. A rather different packing list from ours for an installation, and an adventure we can’t wait to cheer him on for.

You can already imagine a slow breakfast here. Or supper that carries on long after the view has disappeared into the evening.

These new dining room CGIs for our northern Italy project bring the scheme into sharper focus, with dark woods, leather and a layout that makes the most of the views.

We’re particularly excited to see how the room changes from morning to evening, the same materials taking on a different character as daylight gives way to lamplight.

Swipe to see the site as it is now, too. When you’ve spent so much time working through the plans and materials, you start to see the finished rooms within the building site. These images help us share that view with our clients.

Slow breakfast or late supper, when would you most like to sit here?

⛷️The evolution of the ski chalet.

We’re delighted to be featured in Portfolio by Savills, with our founder Andrew Laughland sharing his perspective on how Alpine interiors have changed over three decades of designing in the mountains.

From the enduring appeal of natural materials to the careful consideration of lighting, Andrew discusses the details that shape the homes we create today.

A pleasure to contribute alongside Rupert Longsdon of Oxford Ski Company Nicky Dobree Interior Design and Marco Dionisio of Bonjour Verbier.

Thank you to Savills for featuring us and some of our great projects.

Coming home starts before you reach the living room.

You may remember the w**e wall and under-stairs w**e storage we shared from our project in, Switzerland. This time, we’re sharing the thinking behind the entrance hall and how we want it to feel when you walk through the door.

The triple-height space gives us room for a cascade of Bocci lights, drawing the eye upwards and bringing a warm glow through the hall. Below, a bespoke walnut bench creates somewhere comfortable to sit, take off your shoes and settle back into being home.

Olive green upholstery, soft woven stripes and pale stone bring warmth and texture to the space. The padded back and curved timber soften its architectural lines, while shoe storage beneath the seat keeps the everyday practicalities neatly tucked away.

We imagine arriving here after a day in the mountains: putting your bags down, easing off your boots and taking a moment before heading inside. That feeling of being welcomed home is as much a part of the design as the materials themselves.

Swipe through the plans, palette and site progress to see how the entrance is taking shape, ending with a visualisation of the space.

Our love of the Alps runs in the family. ⛷️

Swipe to see Martine’s competitive skiing days and Andrew’s ski-bum era…

With another ski season approaching, our thoughts are turning to the mountains and the chalets we love working on. This winter, we have someone very special to cheer on, too.

Max Laughland, Andrew and Martine’s son, is preparing for a big season, working towards his first World Cup starts. We couldn’t be prouder, and Laughland Jones is delighted to sponsor him.

Andrew and Martine met on the slopes. Martine raced for England’s moguls team, and that’s her in the second slide. Then came winters taking their sons race training in Pila and Tignes, with Andrew increasingly struggling to keep up.

That love of mountain life is something we bring to our chalet projects, and something we share with so many of our clients. Our connection to the Alps goes well beyond our work.

Watching Max make his own way in the sport means an enormous amount. We’ve seen the years of training, the long stretches away from home and the hard work that goes into every season.

We’ll be rooting for him every step of the way.

Follow his season at Maximilian Laughland . If you or your business would like to join us in supporting him, Martine would love to hear from you at [email protected].

There’s more about Max’s season ahead in KentOnline. We’ve shared the article in our Story.

Take a closer look.✨✨

You might notice the room first, but we can happily spend just as long talking about the fabrics, finishes and all the little decisions that bring it together.

The blue in a curtain trim picked up in a velvet cushion. Stripes and small patterns layered against timber. A place for the w**e and glasses that becomes part of the dining room itself.

Across these three homes, each combination brings something different to the room, and something of the people who live there.

Caught your eye? Wait until you see the rest.

From Alpine chalets to London homes, we design interiors around the people who live in them. Full of character, considered details and a few surprises.

Follow us for a look around, and behind the scenes at how it all comes together.

We’ve recently heard from the owners of this chalet in Méribel village, who have asked us to help with a few updates. We first worked on their home around five years ago, so it’s lovely to be picking things up with them again.

It also seemed a good excuse to share a little more of the project.

Spread across several floors, the chalet brings together contemporary interior architecture, warm timber and bespoke furnishings, with antiques and original art adding character throughout.

Our clients had a real passion for interiors and we worked closely with them to curate the antiques and artwork. These pieces brought so much of their individual taste into the rooms, and we loved working with them to create a home where everything felt at ease together.

The open-plan top floor brings everyone together, with a bar and a private snug to retreat to. Elsewhere, there’s a cinema and a mini spa with a massage room and steam room, offering plenty of ways to spend the hours off the slopes.

A couple of years after completing the chalet, we were invited back to design and fit out the games room too. It’s a pleasure to see a home evolve over the years, and to be asked to play a part in it again.
