Small bedrooms can be tricky to plan, especially when they need to accommodate so much!

For this recent 2-hour Design Consultation, we explored how to make the most of a little girl’s bedroom, balancing storage, space to play and a cosy, airy feel.

We explored three different layouts, looking at furniture dimensions, bespoke joinery and how the room could work now while growing with her over the next few years. We also looked at colour, furniture and the little details that could bring it all together.

My client came into the consultation quite set on one option, but as we talked through and visualised the alternatives, another became the favourite.

I love how these sessions help homeowners see the possibilities in their space, giving them the confidence to make decisions and move forward.

Sometimes a fresh look at a room is all it takes to unlock it.

Do you have a room you're struggling to make it work? My 2hr design consultations are designed for exactly that. Get in touch to find out more!

A few glimpses inside a very special building.

One of the most exciting stages of a project is the discovery phase.

Before any concept or design thinking begins, we take the time to research the history of a building and uncover the stories it tells us.

We look to understand the people who once occupied it, the different purposes it has served, how its spaces were used, the materials and details that have survived, and the wider architectural context it belongs to.

Each piece of information becomes a valuable part of the design process, giving us a richer starting point and helping to inform what comes next.

At Studio Benaki, we approach every building with empathy and sensitivity to its history, locality and character, always looking for ways to honour what came before while allowing it to evolve for contemporary life.

Surrey Bathroom Renovation | Site Visit

A behind-the-scenes look from a recent site visit.

Site visits are an important element in the work of interior designers. These visits allow us to review progress, coordinate with contractors, resolve details in real time and ensure the design is being carried through as intended. It’s often during these visits that many important decisions are made.

Through our Project Coordination service, we remain involved throughout construction, supporting clients as their project comes to life and helping to ensure the original design vision is realised.

Bathroom Consultation.

For this recent 2-Hour Design Consultation, we helped our client rethink the layout of their Edwardian bathroom, maximise storage and establish a clear design direction.

The brief was to incorporate a walk-in shower, bath, generous vanity and practical storage, all within the existing footprint. The client knew what they wanted the space to achieve but couldn't quite picture how it could work.

Together, we explored a number of layout options, weighing up the advantages and compromises of each before arriving at a solution that felt both practical and balanced. We also developed an initial concept to help the client visualise the character, materials and overall atmosphere of the space.

These focused consultations are designed to unlock possibilities before any building work begins. Whether you're planning a renovation or simply need an experienced eye to help you move forward, oir 2hr design consultation service will provide you with clarity & confidence to make informed formed decisions.

Spatial Planning Study.

With the addition of a rear extension, this Edinburgh flat was set to be fully reconfigured.

Through our spatial planning service, we explored a number of layout options. Always starting out with our clients needs and how they live, then refining each space by considering flow, proportions, natural light, functionality and day-to-day use.

This process gave the family clarity early on, allowing them to compare options, understand the full potential of their home and make informed decisions before any building work began.

A well-considered layout can have a big impact on how a home feels and functions than any finish or furnishing choice.

If you're planning a renovation and unsure how your home could work best, a layout feasibility study can help you understand the possibilities before committing to the build.

Bespoke Joinery Design.

For our Wandsworth Family home project, we designed a bespoke wardrobe tailored to maximise storage under the eaves while maintaining a calm, considered aesthetic.

As with every project, we explored multiple design options before arriving at the final solution. This process involved close collaboration with both the client and skilled joinery makers, alongside site visits, design development, material selection, and installation coordination.

Every detail was carefully considered — from proportions and internal layout to finishes and craftsmanship — ensuring the final design felt both functional and refined.
