A few glimpses of progress at Waters Upton… 🤍

There’s been lots happening behind the scenes and I thought it was about time I shared a few little glimpses of where we’re up to!

Still a little way to go, but some of my favourite parts of a project are these moments when you can finally start to see the vision taking shape.

More to share soon ✨

A classic kitchen, designed to stand the test of time 🤍

Swipe to see where we started →

Not every home needs bold colour to make a statement. Sometimes it’s about beautiful materials, considered detailing and a timeless palette that allows the architecture and craftsmanship to speak for themselves.

For this kitchen, we kept things classic and understated, pairing traditional cabinetry with a beautifully honed granite worktop, aged brass hardware and carefully considered details throughout.

The result is a kitchen that feels calm and timeless, but far from ordinary.

And the transformation from the original kitchen makes it even more rewarding to see. What was once a dated, enclosed space has been completely reimagined into a light, elegant and sociable kitchen.

A reminder that a quieter scheme can still have plenty to say ✨

A little room designed for big imaginations 💕

With one of the children’s bedrooms at my Waters Upton project not too far away, I’ve found myself thinking about this sweet bedroom designed not too long ago.

I have such fond memories of my own childhood bedroom, and I think that has always stayed with me when designing spaces for children. There is something so lovely about creating an immersive space, somewhere their imagination can grow, play can happen and memories can be made.

I know there is a real love for beautiful, neutral children’s rooms, and whilst I can absolutely appreciate them, for me, designing a child’s bedroom feels like an opportunity to have a little more fun with colour, pattern and personality.

We kept the scheme soft and playful, using small-scale floral wallpaper and a pretty pink and blue palette to create a little world of its own. The bespoke joinery brings a sense of fun through its castle-inspired detailing, with scalloped blue wall lights on brass adding another little layer of charm. And, of course, the bunk bed creates that tucked-away hideaway, a little space for play, imagination and plenty of adventures.

A room to grow into, but also a little world to get lost in. ✨

A room designed for slowing down - The Gaer Snug 🤎

The brief for this snug was to create somewhere to retreat to; a place to sit with a book, take in the beautiful views across the surrounding landscape and simply enjoy a little moment of calm.

At the heart of the scheme is a deep olive sofa, layered with tactile fabrics and an assortment artwork, alongside a beautiful antique cabinet that brings warmth, history and a sense of permanence to the room.

Natural textures, warm timber and an eclectic mix of artwork help the scheme feel relaxed and collected, rather than overly formal.

It’s a space that invites you to settle in and stay a while.

The work is planned for next year and I’m looking forward to seeing this one come to life ✨

A little more of this bathroom ✨

I shared a glimpse of this space while it was still coming together, but these photographs finally capture it as it was meant to be seen.

From the beautiful striped wallpaper and checkerboard floor to the vanity and shaped mirror, it’s lovely to see all the finishing touches in place.

One of those smaller spaces that deserves just as much thought as the rooms around it.

Designed to belong. 🩷

Originally, the kitchen had been tucked into an extension at the back of the house. A space that felt disconnected from the rest of the home, unsociable and perhaps most importantly, turned away from the beautiful views beyond.

As part of the renovation, we relocated the kitchen into the new extension at the front of the house, creating a much more open and sociable space for everyday life.

The brief was to make the new extension feel as though it had always belonged to the house, bringing in traditional detailing, considered materials and softer, more timeless finishes to sit naturally alongside the original home.

From the painted cabinetry and handmade-feel checkerboard tiles to the mix of stone and oak worktops, aged brass and linen detailing, every element was chosen with that sense of belonging in mind.

A new space, designed to feel like it was always meant to be here. ✨

Old bones, new life 🤍

Waters Upton is very much still in the making, but already there’s so much to love about this house.

The aim has always been to honour what’s here, letting the original architecture and details sing, whilst making the rooms work better for how the house is lived in today.

We’re still very much in the middle of it, but I love this stage of a project. Seeing all the different pieces begin to come together; the old alongside the new, colours being tested, joinery taking shape and those little details that will eventually make the house feel completely its own.

There’s still a long way to go, but I’m beginning to get those little glimpses of how it’s all going to feel when it’s finished. I think this one is going to be rather special. 🪄 ✨

Why this little room works 🤍

There’s something about a smaller room that gives you permission to be a little more playful with the design.

For this cloakroom, I wanted to work with what was already there - the beautiful old timber staircase and exposed structure bring so much warmth and history, so rather than trying to disguise them, they became part of the scheme.

From there, it was all about bringing together pattern, colour and texture. The soft floral wallpaper, sage green panelling and red gingham curtain might sound like an unlikely combination, but the muted tones help everything sit together naturally.

Then come the details: aged brass, veined marble, scalloped lampshades and an antiqued mirror. Each one adds another little layer, making this tiny space feel considered without feeling too perfect.

A bedroom scheme designed to feel calm, considered and quietly characterful 🤍

Tythe Barn, a virtual project, was all about creating a warm, layered bedroom with a timeless feel - combining natural timber, soft neutrals and gentle olive tones with plenty of texture and pattern.

From the shaped upholstered headboard and vintage-inspired bedside tables to the striped ottoman, tactile textiles and aged brass details, each element was chosen to bring a little more character and warmth to what was originally a very blank space.

I love seeing how a scheme comes together from the initial ideas and layout through to the finished design - swipe to see the before, floor plan and some of the inspiration behind it.

A reminder that you don’t always need to completely change a space to completely change how it feels. ✨

A new headshot felt like as good an excuse as any to put a face to the name again ✨

I’m Annika - interior designer and director of the studio, based in Bridgnorth, Shropshire.

Although most of what you see on here is the finished work, there’s obviously a person behind all of it (hello 👋🏼).

My approach to interiors is rooted in the architecture of a space. I’m interested in how a home works, how the spaces connect and how we can make the most of what’s already there - before layering in the details that make it feel personal.

I’m also the person who can spend far too long obsessing over a floor plan, moving a doorway by 100mm or working through a joinery detail until it’s exactly right. It’s those little decisions that can make such a difference to how a space ultimately feels and functions.

I love taking a house and really understanding it; finding the potential that might not be immediately obvious and creating spaces that feel considered, characterful and completely at home in their surroundings.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me with Bonnie, my very spoiled pup, or more recently attempting to learn tennis - with varying degrees of success 🎾.

So, if we haven’t met before, hello. And if we have… apparently it was time for a proper introduction. 🤍
