Carrying on with our Chelsea project…

For the open-plan living and dining space, we wanted to create somewhere that felt full of character but also worked really hard for everyday life. Our client loves colour, pattern and beautiful details, so we really enjoyed bringing all of these together.

We started with Jonquil on the walls, a lovely warm backdrop for layers of terracotta, green and blue. A mix of woven and geometric fabrics, a striking A RUM FELLOW rug and our client's artwork all bring personality to the space.

In the dining area, bespoke joinery provides much-needed storage, while the built-in banquette helps create a cosy spot within the larger room. We had a bit of fun with the dining chairs, using contrasting fabrics to introduce an unexpected mix of pattern.

New to our portfolio, welcome to our latest project to be photographed in Chelsea.

Starting in the kitchen, which we designed alongside Mario Pisano , we wanted to make the most of every inch of this relatively compact space, while creating something with real impact and a few surprises along the way.

The starting point was the fabulous green and white diamond chequerboard marble floor. We paired this with bespoke bevel-edged Shaker cabinetry and a softly curved walnut island on legs, designed to feel more like a piece of furniture.

And tucked away behind reeded glass doors is a breakfast cupboard lined in glossy terracotta tiles, adding an unexpected splash of colour when opened.

Having downsized from the large Fulham home where she and her husband raised their four children, our client wanted her new house in Barnes to embrace the next chapter of her life while celebrating the memories, collections and character that had always been so important to her.

With strong family ties to South Africa, our client has amassed a wonderful collection of art, antiques and decorative objects over the years. These became the starting point for the interiors, combining treasured pieces with new furniture, fabrics and lighting to create a home that feels layered, personal and collected.

One of the favourite parts of our job is getting to know our clients and creating homes that feel totally personal to them - this is the perfect example.

At our converted Victorian Bakery project, bespoke joinery anchors the far end of the open-plan living space, drawing the eye through the apartment from the entrance.

Designed around the arched windows, integrated window seats create inviting reading nooks, framed by open shelving for books, art and treasured pieces. Shaped pelmets and rounded seating echo the architecture’s soft curves.

The result anchors the living area and sets the tone for the rest of this characterful apartment.

And finally at our Kew project… the family bathroom.

Originally designed with a bath for younger children, the space needed to evolve as the family grew. With the children now university age and preferring showers, we kept the generous walk-in shower but replaced the bath with a much larger vanity, giving the room a greater sense of space. Both the vanity and concealed cupboard above the loo provide much-needed storage.

Tongue-and-groove panelling brings texture to the walls, while a relaxed Roman blind adds softness. In the shower, alternating green and white tiles create a simple striped pattern that adds interest without overwhelming the room. An antique wooden mirror, brass lighting and cabinet k***s bring warmth and character, while the deep red vanity provides a rich contrast against the soft blue walls.

Our clients at our Kew Edwardian family home project felt it was time to revisit spaces last renovated over a decade ago.

Starting with the en suite, we replaced a small shower with a generous undermounted bath and introduced plenty of clever storage, including a concealed cupboard above the loo, a generous vanity and a handy shelf at the end of the bath.

Colourful Zellige floor tiles and tongue-and-groove panelling bring texture, warmth and character. We chose classic chrome brassware, layering in antique brass on the mirror, lighting and k***s to add contrast and a more collected feel.

HOUSE TOUR - this converted bakery was a blank canvas when we were asked to create a comfortable, layered interior. A place to unwind and entertain family and friends. It was a privilege to design such a unique and interesting space - another hidden spot in London that has been brought back to life.

The open plan living at our converted bakery project is perfect for entertaining and parties. With a bespoke dining bench and upholstered leather chairs, there is plenty of space for family and friends.

The apartment was a blank canvas that was originally done by a developer. We have retained the kitchen units but have added lots of additional layered lighting and a shelf to display art and kitchenware.

The master bedroom at our converted bakery project - a wonderful mix of calm colours, antiques and vintage woven fabrics.

We’ve loved embracing a more masculine vibe in this room which compliments the industrial heritage of the building.

We’ve been rather quiet here on Instagram over the last couple of months, but behind the scenes we’ve been busy photographing several recently completed projects, that we are so excited to finally start sharing them with you.

First up, a converted bakery in Battersea.

We embraced the apartment’s industrial heritage, retaining the dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed brickwork and steel structure, while introducing softer, more decorative elements to bring warmth, character and comfort to the space. We absolutely loved working on this one — so much so, that we’ve decided as soon as our children have flown the nest, we are moving somewhere just like it!
