Why Hire an Interior Designer?

Writer: Mia SpencerMia Spencer

Interior design can feel like a daunting task, and one that’s filled with unexpected challenges. From finding a designer who understands your needs and personality, balancing aesthetics with functionality, to dealing with space constraints and budget limitations, the journey to a beautifully designed space can often feel overwhelming and stressful.


We're passionate about helping you navigate the headaches and stresses of an interior design project, it’s what we do! We’ve always said to clients (we’re pretty dedicated to honesty!) that you’ll get about 80% of your wish list, but we will still always exceed your expectations.

Achieving a look that ties different elements together can be challenging on your own. It’s easy to end up with a disjointed space if each piece is chosen in isolation. Our experience in creating cohesive, stylish spaces that reflect your taste while maintaining functionality is at the heart of what we do. I know that each job I do will be beautiful, of course, but there will also be a little moment that is just yours - a little shelf for your grandmother’s tea set, a space for your wine glass in the bath or a spot for that little painting you picked up on your honeymoon. Moments that will bring you joy every time you see them. We love incorporating these special touches into your homes, watching your wishlist and own personality come to life in design form.

A clever angling of the sink + bespoke joinery made this compact bathroom in Dulwich feel much bigger.

We take size into consideration. Small bathroom? Limited kitchen space? We can do that! Making the most of a space requires an eye for layout and multifunctional furniture, which can sometimes be tricky to balance without compromising on style.


We find innovative and interesting solutions to these challenges, ensuring every inch of your space can be utilised effectively.


Then of course there’s sticking to a budget while trying to achieve the look you’ve got your heart set on. This has the potential to be stressful and can lead to compromises that affect the overall quality and feel of a project.

Choosing the right colours that complement each other and enhance the space is crucial to the feel of a room. Some could easily overwhelm or dull the space, but we have the expertise to select and combine colours and shades that you love, harmoniously, creating a balanced environment that reflects you and your family.
