Our clients had recently moved into a double fronted Victorian home in West London and needed help furnishing and decorating the entire ground floor living area, specifically the living room, kitchen, study and hallway. Bespoke upholstery and lush plants are complimented by carefully curated pieces from our favourite makers. Having already managed the extension of their beautiful Victorian home, we were asked back to soften the modern lines and hard surfaces to make the house feel like a home. The awkward shape of the living room had previously been problematic for our clients. We designed a bespoke sofa, so that the space could be enjoyed by the whole family at once. We chose classic shelving to fill a large unused space in their living room and gave our clients a place to display some of their favourite objects, without looking cluttered. This area then flowed seamlessly to the newly extended kitchen which is the perfect space to relax, entertain and cook.

An open and minimal space—perfect for family life, where the kids can pull out their toys and stay connected to the kitchen. By evening, it transforms into a cosy retreat for music and relaxation. A bespoke wall unit houses the owners’ extensive vinyl collection. The deep plywood window seat invites you to pause and take in the view, with built-in drawers providing smart storage for toys and everyday clutter. A natural material palette, accented with pops of colour, keeps the space warm and inviting, while slatted panels enhance acoustic comfort in this open-plan setting.

The drawing room cabinetry was finished in Little Greene Windmill Lane and featured tongue & groove paneling around the fireplace and in the back of the shelving units. We ran the coving around the front of the cabinetry, as well as using the same skirting throughout the room to create a built-in effect.

This full refurbishment of a three-bedroom Victorian flat on Old Brompton Road in South Kensington is one of our favourite projects to date. Set across two floors, the home was carefully reconfigured to create generous living and dining spaces on the upper level, with bedrooms tucked away below for privacy and calm. Designed as the couple’s first family home, the interiors reflect their distinctive Mid-Century-Modern-meets-Mexican aesthetic, balanced thoughtfully with the building’s heritage fabric. Engineered walnut flooring grounds the scheme, while a rich palette of warm tones and vibrant accents brings depth and personality. Layered textures — from bespoke joinery finished in textured bronze laminate to artisanal porcelain surfaces, soft furnishings and curated artwork — add warmth and tactility throughout. A reclaimed Calacatta Viola marble mantelpiece provides a striking focal point, seamlessly bridging classic architectural details with a contemporary interior approach. The result is a relaxed yet refined South Kensington home, full of character, warmth and individuality.

This beautifully decorated living space features a large bay window draped with sheer curtains, allowing natural light to flood the space. An arched glass door with a black frame adds a sophisticated touch against the white panelled walls, leading to another stylishly decorated room.
