Our approach

“Trust is the foundation of my approach. I believe in building relationships rooted in transparency, empathy, and understanding. Because I understand that the journey to transforming your home can be overwhelming and stressful, I strive to be a source of support and reassurance every step of the way”.

“Bringing my background from the fashion industry, with a keen eye for detail, and a deep understanding of my clients' needs, I have the vision and ability to turn aspirations to life. Each design is a reflection of each clients unique personalities, dreams, and lifestyles. I pride myself on my ability to truly connect with my clients, to listen intently to their needs, and to translate their vision into a space that exceeds their expectations”.

I genuinely care, and I am willing to go above and beyond to make their dreams a reality. Because in the end, it's not just about creating beautiful spaces and interior design; it's about creating spaces where happiness finds a home”.

  • CLISSOLD PARK

    "Lisa was amazing to work with, she’s passionate about interior design and the project was completely tailored to our specific needs. She was always on the end of the phone and so quick at solving problems when they arose. We are so pleased with our extention, it has transformed the way our family lives". Gaby

  • MUSWELL HILL

    "Lisa helped with the redesign and layout of the downstairs of my house (kitchen, communal areas, bathroom). Her patience, attention to detail and really caring about what you want to achieve made it a pleasure to work with her". Katrin

  • WESTMINSTER 'SUSTAINABLE' TOWN HOUSE

    "I worked with Lisa after buying a new house in Westminster that had been rented for years, and although in a fantastic area and lovely architecturally, was very plain and unengaging throughout. The brief was to create a home that was both eclectic and modern, leveraging the charm of a small Georgian townhouse and making best use of the space available. The project was the complete interior design of the inside of the property sourcing as much of the furniture as possible ‘second hand’ to fit the footprint of each room. This allowed trading up on quality and down on price at the same time! From the first meeting Lisa was engaged with helping me formulate and articulate my vision. As the project progressed, she was a wonderful sounding board on furniture choices, space efficiency and when to spend on items that in the end made a positive difference to the overall project. She has an excellent network of tradesmen and suppliers to support the delivery of the design in the agreed timelines. We delivered the project in the time agreed, and I couldn’t be happier with the end product. Most importantly though was the fun and laughter we shared throughout the project. Thank you for helping make my house a home!"

  • CROUCH END VICTORIAN HOME

    "From making socialising easer to creating a more inspirational kitchen inviting to hours of cooking, keeping the bathrooms tidy, sorting out awkward underutilised spaces, we had a long list of areas in our home we wanted to improve. Luckily, Lisa and her team of experts was just what we needed. With style, imagination, design knowhow, experience, great contacts and the loveliest of personalities. The team saw the project through from start to finish. What a luxury. From design, to detailed specification, planning, procurement, budget management, project management and build, Lisa was always at hand to listen to our input and feedback, proposing the right solutions. We absolute love the end result. The mood, the light, the style, the practicalities, the bespoke pieces, and quirks. We wanted Paris meets New York, Scandi and Amsterdam, and we believe Lisa succeeded. And within the agreed time frame, which is quite unusual when you embark on an extensive renovation".

  • DALSTON 'ENTERTAINING' HOUSE

    "We worked with Lisa on the interior design of our Victorian Terraced house in East London when we recently renovated it. The ideas she presented were very creative and imaginative, utilising space in ways we hadn’t thought of previously, and giving each room a unique feel while carrying an overarching theme throughout the house. During the build itself she worked alongside our architect and main contractor to make sure everything was done as designed and any tweaks were made on site to allow for changes and making sure we got the best out of the build. She also recommended some great third party businesses to work on specific areas of the fit out too. When it came to finishing off the renovation, the touches she presented in the styling document really added an extra dimension to a house we were already extremely happy with. We couldn’t recommend her enough and would definitely work with her again in the future".
