We could talk about what drives our style and decisions when designing ‘til the cows come home, but sometimes a simple photo like this just explains it a whole lot better. Materiality is such a driving force behind everything we do. So often it’s not even a conscious decision we make based on how something looks, rather than the way materials feel when put next to each other. Touching and even smelling are just as important when it comes to design - will you still feel something in a space once you’ve closed your eyes and you can no longer see the fancy things in front of you? The answer should always be yes. Even in a small cloakroom like this one - the curve of the wall behind our basin, the slightly rough texture of the plastered wall, the velvety feel of the Italian marble slab we chose for the bespoke vanity. Even the blackened bronze frame of the ceiling hung mirror and the warmth of the brassware.

A little well overdo ‘life lately’ post because we really are still alive, promise! 🙈 It’s been a busy old time and in the world of interiors, these months leading up to Christmas tend to get as hectic as they come, so if anything, things will only get busier! So what exactly have we been upto lately?

1. Revisiting this lovely project we worked on a couple of years ago for Phase 2! Still looking as good as ever
2. Bespoke joinery install well underway in Ullswater. We cannot wait to show you this project!
3. Our love for a cladded ceiling just grows by the day
4. Meet our office administrator. Not very good at her job, but couldn’t be cuter
5. Site measure at another previous project in Cheshire
6. Progress of the snug in Gisburn where silk wallpaper meets J. Adams & Co wall lights
7. Forever fiddling with details
8. Presentation of hard materials for project Parbold
9. Dressing room worktop deserving a little moment of her own
10. Cloakroom progress check at another Lakes project

All this, plus too many details to captures and count. If you’d like to have a chat with us about your project for 2027, we’d love to hear from you!

Spend a day with us! ☀️

No fancy camerawork here, I’m afraid. We’re very much the live-in-the-moment kind of girls who forget to document things and then regret it afterwards. But we’re working on it.

The sunshine definitely helps though — somehow making everything we do manage to capture look 10 times better!

Better late than never, they say…so welcome to our new studio!❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8 years ago I threw all caution to the wind and opened the virtual doors to Keyhole Interiors. Over time, we’ve grown as a team, survived Covid, and have spent the last 4 years in our Preston office, surrounded by the most wonderful people at the The Artistry House
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time and time again, our work kept bringing us back to the Lake District, and alongside the many amazing projects we take on all across the North West and UK in general, it became the place where we felt we should base ourselves. Keyhole Interiors has always been driven by nature, landscape, a sense of place and real, tactile, earthy materials - and I believe this is why we have always felt so at home in the Lakes and why so many of our lovely clients and projects are local to this area.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a few years of searching, lots of daydreaming, and a (slightly unexpectedly lengthy 🥴) renovation, we are finally home. Our little studio sits in the heart of Windermere - this is where you’ll find us scheming, working out many a technical packs, designing and drinking copious amounts of coffee. No matter where you are based, we’d love to welcome you and chat about your project!

Snippets of May. What a busy one it was ❤️ Just the right amount of madness:

1. Visiting a previous project to see clients I am now lucky to call friends. Never fails to disappoint when you go back and find everything as pristine as when you handed it over!
2. Finishing touches to the studio
3. A quick dash to Wales to spend some much needed time with the best friends and
4. And a lot of time spent on site staring at various things
5. Many a rainy Lakes site visits
6. Trialling the ceiling cladding at a project and deciding if pinning or glueing is the way to go. Small detail, big difference
7. Teamwork with the ultimate dream team
8. A much needed break in beautiful Croatia
9. And noticing all the details, even when on holiday
10. Our office manager enjoying some sunshine in the studio
11. Melinda losing her heart to this corner of Istria at
12. Long hours at our lake house project

Looking at a very busy summer ahead and welcoming every single bit of it!

A little bedroom round-up to start the day. We’re deep into some exciting schemes in the studio this week, so it felt right to revisit a few favourites from the archive. Now, which bed to dive into tonight…

Just a few of the details we love so much in the kitchen of our farmhouse project, set in the beautiful Lancashire countryside. It’s hard to bottle up over a year’s worth of work in one short video, but here we are anyway, because these are the details - no matter how small - that make a project. We can’t wait to finish the second phase of this project and style it up, ready for our photoshoot!

Alongside our lovely clients’ projects, we’ve also been quietly working on a renovation of our own… and trying to keep it a secret 🙈 This will be the new home of our studio, in a place we love so much, so we’ve taken our time to make sure it’s just right before sharing it with you. Now that the end is finally in sight, we couldn’t not give you a little glimpse. We can’t wait to welcome you in for a good, strong cup of coffee.

Let’s talk lighting. How much is too much, and how do we know when enough is enough?

The Elms project is a great example of using multiple types of fittings in a considered way. We spent a lot of time defining what was needed and what would have been clutter. The aim was to keep the space homely and warm, while ensuring the right level of artificial light for every part of the day.

The do’s and don’ts for this open-plan living:

- No spotlights of any kind. The kitchen sits within a beautifully designed extension with varying ceiling heights, planes and angles. Spotlights would have sat awkwardly and wouldn’t have given those architectural details the soft, understated highlight we were after.

- Task lighting can be pretty. In lieu of spotlights, we still needed enough light for a family who loves cooking. We chose a combination of pendants and wall lights, opting for slimline, delicate fittings that wouldn’t clash or visually close the space.

- LED lighting doesn’t have to feel commercial. We used it behind the Crittall cabinet doors and under the sink run shelving—creating a soft glow, just enough for slower evenings and snack-dash moments.

- Consider lighting from adjacent spaces. The pantry sits behind a glass Crittall door, so light spills into the kitchen—which, when handled well, works beautifully.
