surrey house interior design living room

Hello. We’re an architectural interior design studio working in Farnham and across Surrey.

We provide high-end interior design in Farnham, creating refined, characterful homes for private clients across the town and its neighbouring villages. Since 2007, we’ve designed calm, beautifully detailed interiors for period townhouses, country houses, contemporary family homes and sensitive renovations. Every project is a close collaboration — shaped by our clients, their lifestyle and the character of the property itself.

I believe the design and decoration of our homes has a deep impact on how we live and how we feel.

Home is our everyday environment. It influences our routines, our relationships, our ability to relax – and the quality of the moments that happen within it. The best interiors feel effortless – although they’re the result of careful planning, strong architectural thinking and meticulous attention to detail.

We design in a way that is personal and precise: listening closely, understanding the property, and shaping spaces that support modern life while respecting the building’s character. The result is a home that feels coherent, comfortable and quietly luxurious.

Farnham’s character, thoughtful interior design

Farnham is known for its historic streets, handsome period architecture and a strong sense of place — from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to character cottages and substantial family homes. This context informs our approach: respecting what makes a building special, while introducing modern comfort, better flow and carefully integrated storage, lighting design and beautiful, natural finishes.

Inspired by Farnham’s landscape and setting

Farnham’s setting — green lanes, woodland edges and the wider Surrey countryside — offers a constant source of inspiration. We translate this into interiors with calm palettes, natural textures and a sense of quiet refinement. We’re drawn to honest materials, layered finishes and thoughtful detailing that feels rooted in the place while remaining distinctly personal.

Farnham’s influence on our interior design work

Across Farnham and the surrounding Surrey villages, we frequently find clients seeking a home that feels polished but not showy — elegant, calm and built to last. We focus on proportion, materiality, joinery and lighting, creating spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional, with a strong sense of coherence from room to room.

Testimonials from our clients around Surrey

I have worked with Stephen at Residence Interior Design for a number of years now and the results have always been impressive.

Stephen is always so pleasant to deal with too.

James Coleman, Building Contractor, Hampshire

The service from Residence was excellent, from the first meeting to last. The brief was met and we’re delighted with what we have. Stephen combines a friendly approach with expertise and considerable effort to help you through the process.

He is a pleasure to work with, and you feel supported throughout. There can be some difficult moments when undertaking a large refurbishment, and Stephen works hard to make sure that you are best prepared to deal with the issues when they arrive. He is an expert planner, and we have learnt lots from working with him.

L&NS, South West London

Stephen was hugely professional, came up with clever and innovative suggestions and provided detailed drawings and plans throughout.

I particularly liked the way in which he listened to my particular (and rather unusual) brief and really took it on board.

HL, Meon Valley, South Downs National Park, Hampshire

Stephen assisted us with the interior design of aspects of a contemporary new build project.  In particular, he helped us to better visualise how spaces might be used and suggested some feature aspects for the house.

I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Ranmore Common, Surrey Hills, Dorking

An award-winning conversion in the Surrey Hills, this project was celebrated for its considered layout, creative approach to interiors and its respect for the original architecture. We worked closely with the clients to design this beautiful new house, while still retaining the character and features of the stable yard it was converted from. We sought to enhance and celebrate the existing architecture, while creating understated interiors with a sense of longevity. In designing the interiors and providing creative vision for the project, along with visualisations and walk-through simulations of their new home, we enabled them to make a success of this once-in-a-lifetime project. Inspired by the buildings’ rural setting, the renovation combines organic materials with a series of contemporary touches. Vaulted ceilings are complemented by oak flooring and natural wood finishes, combined with colour pops through a richly painted kitchen, vibrant artwork and floral fabrics.

Hartley Wintney, Hook (near Farnham, on the Hampshire border)

Located near Farnham, this 18th-century home has been transformed into a residence of understated elegance. The principal suite was completely reimagined — with a flowing layout, bespoke dressing areas and a serene, classically inspired bathroom. Sympathetic updates throughout the property extended the feeling of relaxed sophistication while honouring the building’s heritage and the client’s personal style.

Goring / Streatley (near Reading, on the River Thames)

Situated just outside Reading, on the River Thames, the character of this property is similar to many of those in Surrey. The brief was to introduce comfort and understated luxury, and we proposed carefully considered materials and finishes. Interest, colour and pattern are all present in the interior design, but with a light touch and a subtlety in its application. Crucially, the décor now has a consistency throughout. The design introduces subtle shifts through the property, but it all hangs together with a unified feel and atmosphere. A cohesive approach to colour and pattern, combined with careful interventions to the layout of this property, has resulted in a beautiful home of quiet luxury and comfort that the clients can enjoy for many years to come.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a “Farnham style” for interiors?

Not at all – every client and every home is different. The town’s architecture and setting often suit a refined balance of heritage and modernity though.

We design interiors that respond to each property’s character and each client’s lifestyle, creating homes that feel rooted in place but entirely individual.

Learn more about our interior design approach and philosophy.

Do we work with local makers and suppliers?

Yes. We have a wide range of specialist suppliers, craftspeople, makers and contractors, including around Farnham and across Surrey.

Where possible, sourcing locally can support craftsmanship, reduce transport and help reinforce a home’s sense of place — while choosing the best partners for the project above all else.

Which areas around Farnham do we cover?

We work across Farnham and surrounding areas including Wrecclesham, Lower Bourne, Frensham, Tilford, Elstead and beyond — as well as wider Surrey. If your home is in or around Farnham, we would be delighted to help you with your project.
