Residential Interior Design & Architecture
We blend our expertise in interior design and architecture to create homes that balance beauty with function. Working closely with homeowners across Bristol, Somerset, the Cotswolds and beyond, we design interiors around the people who live there, crafting spaces that are comfortable, practical, and uniquely tailored to your lifestyle.
Our Approach
A thoughtfully-designed home considers how you move through and use your space. From furniture layouts and lighting to materials, textures, and finishes, we carefully consider every detail to ensure your home works for you, supports wellbeing, and enhances your day-to-day life.
Our approach is about more than aesthetics. By understanding your habits, priorities, and vision, we create interiors that feel natural, cohesive, and functional. Whether it’s tailored layouts for family living, flexible spaces for work-from-home, or rooms designed for entertaining and relaxation, every element works together to form a home that truly reflects you.
Our goal is to make your home feel effortless and considered: a space that supports your lifestyle, showcases your personality, and brings enjoyment every day.

Our Design Process
Following a structured design process, we offer flexibility to choose individual stages or the full package, tailoring our approach to your needs.

-
Every interior design project begins with an introductory conversation to understand your requirements, including your vision, the scope and budget, and to decide which design service suits you.
After our discussion and reviewing any materials you provide, we will send you a fee proposal. For larger projects, we will conduct a site visit before presenting our fee.
-
Concept design establishes the design brief, focusing on generating ideas and exploring different options based on our discussions, experiences, and research.
During this phase, we present designs through sketches, mood boards, and scaled layouts. This process allows us to investigate a range of concepts regarding the aesthetic and functionality of your space, encouraging feedback to identify the best solutions, tailored to your needs.
-
The detailed design phase involves fine-tuning the chosen design from the concept stage and preparing the essential drawings and specifications required for cost estimation and tendering.
During this phase, it is crucial to ensure that all facets of the design are thoroughly coordinated. This includes detailed CAD drawings, sourcing fittings and furniture, selecting flooring and paint finishes, specifying switches and sockets, along with any other intricate elements. This stage is vital to guarantee that the design aligns with your objectives. Drawings may also be submitted at this point for planning approval, certificates of lawfulness, and building regulations, as necessary.
-
The construction phase begins, bringing your designs to life.
At this stage, the design is seen as complete. We oversee the implementation of the design and on hand to deal with any design queries from contractors or specialists. Our role at this stage will vary depending on the project scope. At this stage, we may also provide procurement service to source and order furniture and fixtures for your space.
-
Completion of construction and renovation and elevating the final finish.
During this stage, any defects on the part of the contractors and specialists will be addressed. This phase also focuses on adding final details to the spaces, including wall art, soft furnishings, and accessories. Additionally, it includes the final handover of the project and any additional output materials.
“We commissioned Emilie to create a bespoke kitchen design. She totally understood what we were after and made some really useful suggestions on how to change the layout of the kitchen to improve the flow and maximise natural light. She provided some beautiful design concepts and helped us clarify what we wanted, as well as liaising with kitchen makers for the work.”
