Comfort, Function, Finish, Fun

Emma’s design philosophy is to create liveable yet dramatic spaces that are individual to each client and setting.

“

I like a project to smile, to have charm, and not take itself too seriously. Comfort, function, and finish always take priority.”

Seamless Service

Emma believes that interior design is the artful balance between creativity and practicality. She endeavours to create vivid design solutions and strives for seamless customer service. She understands the strain of organising building projects. Her team are on hand to handle the whole process from the initial design stage to the final handing over of the project.

Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle, Re-think

Our design style is to blend old and new using antiques or commissioning artists. It is these additions that add atmosphere and personality to a space. One of the great joys of my work is trawling through fairs, markets, and salerooms, spotting items that are unique, quirky, or beautiful.”

“

At the early stages of every project, careful consideration is given to what we can reuse, repurpose or recycle. We don’t like the idea of items ending up in landfills if they can help someone else or be recovered and bring joy again. We have a growing roster of trusted, sustainable suppliers who reduce packaging and improve manufacturing methods. We help our clients to choose to buy once and buy well.”

As a design service, we understand that every client has unique preferences and budget. That’s why we offer flexible services that can be tailored to meet your specific needs. Whether you need us to provide you with a vision for your home renovation or manage the entire project with your preferred builder or curtain maker, we’re happy to work with you and your team.

“ Emma and her team worked magic on this brief for the North Terminal, Gatwick Airport. They created a fresh uplifting concept maximising the countryside views, retained high-end fixtures and fittings and included touches of fun with a gelato cart. Clever adjustments to the layout increased covers. Sustainability was at the heart of Emma’s design choices. Finally, the contemporary branding, with a hint of British market nostalgia, complimented the whole scheme.”

“ Emma quickly got to grips with this brief. She was keen to work with the unique location, heritage and coastal location to tell a story of our brand. The nautical touches were stylish and considered.

Technically Emma had a lot to work with in terms of the architecture and working with all our key stakeholders but she sailed through. Everyone on the project team have enjoyed working with Emma and the sense of fun, expertise and professionalism”.
