How do you want people to feel when they walk through the door?

Whether it's your own home, a commercial space or your hotel, we help you find the style that makes people genuinely happy the moment they walk in. Then we plan, design, buy, manage, install and style the whole space.

You make the handful of decisions that matter to you; we take care of the four hundred or more small ones.


Style Compass - your instincts already know

You want a home that feels like you, but when someone asks what you like, your mind goes blank.

There is more than one decision maker and you all have quite different ideas.

You want more room and less clutter, but don't know where to start.

You know something isn't right, but you can't quite put your finger on why.

You haven't got the time to chase trades, samples and deliveries.

Every week it isn't finished is a week it's costing you.

We take all of that off your plate.

So you avoid costly mistakes, stay on budget and get your time back.

It starts with how the space is really used

Before we talk about paint colours, I want to understand how the space actually works for the people in it; where the mess piles up, whether one room is trying to do everything for everyone, whether pets add to the chaos, and why somewhere feels unwelcoming when it should draw people in.

Most of the expensive mistakes I see come from designing for a 'magazine lifestyle' and not planning properly, rather than creating practical spaces people love to be in. Get that bit right and the beautiful part follows.

Style Compass
- your instincts already know

Most people can't describe their style, and that's completely normal; the Style Compass finds it for you.

The Style Compass is built on colour psychology, because almost nobody can put their style into words. So instead of asking, I show you a series of pictures; cars, rooms, views and furniture, and you simply pick the ones you're drawn to. Your answers point to one of four seasons, which tells us the colours, textures and furniture that will bring you joy.

We recommend every key decision maker takes it separately. We then look at where your answers overlap, because that's where everyone is happy, and design a space that reflects what you all love, with fewer compromises and far fewer awkward conversations.
