kbbreview invited me to their Kitchen & Bathroom Design Podcast last week to talk about the concept of ‘broken plan’ in interior design. Is it the latest trend in interior design, and is it here to stay? In conversation with Dan Stronge of Jones Britain Kitchens and Managing Editor Andrew Davies we consider what people […]
I’m always interested in famous architecture and interior design projects, as they can provide so much inspiration. Reading about them isn’t the same as visiting and experiencing them for myself though. Not just to soak up the building and its interior first-hand, but also to get a feel for the setting and wider context of […]
What are the best renovations to add value to your home? We’re often faced with a lot of choices about where to devote our time and spending. I believe it’s so important to focus efforts on the architecture of the interior first: the spaces, their layouts, and the services that support them. Get this right […]
Following on from my post last month – sometimes simple design is the best solution – here are some more shots from the interior design project in Hampshire that I featured.

Watching films and television, or listening to music, are often requested as part of our interior design projects. There’s plenty to consider though, and in Grand Designs […]
We’ve just photographed this recently-completed contemporary interior design project in Farringdon, London, where one of the key requirements of our clients’ brief was to be able to display their artwork to its best potential. Just hanging pieces on the wall isn’t enough to get the most from them. In this central London project we based […]
Here’s the third and final instalment on my visit to Benchmark’s Toolbox Talks last month. As well as the earlier talks by guest speakers on paint colouring and textile design, Sean Sutcliffe of Benchmark talked about metalworking. It’s crucial for interior designers to really understand the production process involved in different specialist techniques, as that’s […]
It’s always great to see our interior design projects getting recognition, and we’ve now been featured by international style and interior design blog Nonagon Style. They’ve compiled a full feature on our London Thames Penthouse Interior Design Project, and you can read it in full here. In this project we worked for a busy and […]
