our top tip?

planning is key

Careful planning is the foundation of a successful interior design project. Here are a few key considerations we encourage clients to think about early on:

Start with lifestyle, not just aesthetics – Good interior design begins with understanding how you live. Daily routines, storage needs and how spaces are used should inform every design decision.

Consider the flow of your home as a whole – Looking beyond individual rooms and considering how spaces connect helps improve circulation, reduce wasted space and create a more cohesive home.

Plan layouts and lighting early – Space planning and lighting design have a significant impact on how a home feels and functions, and are best resolved at the start of the design process.

Allow time for ideas to develop – A considered interior design process allows space for ideas to evolve, resulting in more thoughtful, long-lasting interiors.

designing for flow

In a recent residential interior design project in Kent, our clients loved their home’s location but felt the layout no longer supported family life. By stepping back and reviewing the flow of the house as a whole, we were able to reconfigure the layout, strengthen connections between spaces and make better use of every room.

This holistic approach to space planning resulted in a calmer, more practical home that works effortlessly day to day – demonstrating how early planning and considered design decisions can be truly transformative.

our thought processes are very clear

During the sourcing phase of works we will always look at the artwork as this really elevates a scheme.

The artwork here hides plug sockets so a TV can be added at a later date if required.

Victorian homes often have long, think reception rooms. Here as part of our space planning we zoned the space and created an additional dining area, or as a convenient spot to work from home.

A well planned utility room is a dream. This one is compact and functional but still beautiful.

Full height cupboards give maximum storage, whilst the pole allows ironing to be hung – no airer required.
