Blending interior design and architecture, we craft spaces that enhance daily life, promote balance, and inspire creativity. Based in Bristol, working across the UK.
Design for homes
From thoughtful layout planning to hand-selected furnishings, we work closely with our clients to create homes that reflect their personality, meet their needs, and balance aesthetics with functionality.
Design for Offices
We enjoy collaborating with small businesses to design offices around the people who use them. By understanding your team, workflows, and culture, we create spaces that are functional, comfortable, and designed to support the way you work every day.
Design for Hospitality
We design hospitality spaces that leave a lasting impression while working beautifully in practice. Every interior is tailored around your building, brand, and guest experience, blending style, comfort, and functionality—from arrival to departure.
Our design philosophy
We believe that exceptional design can transform lives. Led by Emilie Heinonen, our studio combines architectural and interior design, achieving a harmonious balance of beauty and functionality that draws from Emilie’s 25 years of expertise in both fields. We focus on humanistic design, where every detail is thoughtfully considered to enhance daily living and promote wellbeing.
Working across Bristol, Somerset, London and beyond, we create spaces that are deeply personal, reflecting the unique stories, needs, and aspirations of our clients. Our holistic approach is informed by the history, environment, and unique context of each project, resulting in environments that have a lasting positive impact on both their occupants and the world around them.

“People and Spaces offer the perfect blend of artistic insight and practical solutions. I loved the attention Emilie paid to aspects which I would not have considered, such as lighting. Emilie made us bolder, braver and more open. We selected colours, patterns and ideas which we wouldn't have thought of, but our home still feels very much our own.”
