We were recently featured in The English Home magazine as part of an article by interiors journalist Emma J Page, exploring the importance of interior architecture in thoughtful home design. Our Victorian Terrace, Waterloo project was selected as a case study - and we were delighted to share some of the design thinking behind the transformation.
As an interior designer, we always begin by considering the bones of a building. In this case, the Waterloo home had great architectural character, but some of its original beauty had been obscured by heavy curtains and dark finishes.
Our approach focused on enhancing what was already working - rather than redesigning for the sake of it. By removing bulky drapery from the front and rear windows, we allowed the light to flow in and gave space for the original windows to take centre stage. This simple decision shifted the entire tone of the living spaces, making them feel more open, elegant and balanced.
As we shared with Emma, bold interior design doesn’t always mean dramatic moves. Often, it means knowing what to keep, what to celebrate, and how to amplify a home’s best qualities. From layout to light, proportion to palette, our aim is always to create interiors that feel rooted in the building itself - not imposed upon it.
Seeing our work in print never stops being a buzz, especially when it gives us a chance to explain the quieter, more architectural layers of what we do.
