“We are a welcoming, collaborative interior design studio specialising in colourful, comfortable, original schemes for projects in town and country throughout the UK.”
NICOLA SANDERS
With a background in History of Art & Architecture, and a former career working for leading interior design magazines, Nicola’s style is rooted in classic country sensibility but infused with modernity. She has an instinctive understanding of what makes a room sing but, most importantly, a belief that our homes should enable us to enjoy the things that matter to us most – perhaps books, music, food or art – and offer a backdrop that brings us happiness and a sense of comfort every day.
“It’s never just about designing a house; it’s about creating timeless spaces that people will enjoy, year after year. I don’t aim for my projects to look too new; really, I just want my clients to feel they can throw their coat on a chair and flop down on the sofa – that feeling of coming home is incredibly important to me.”
“From beginning to end, we work in partnership with our clients, as well as with architects and trusted tradespeople, ensuring results that exceed expectations, without stress or compromise.”
THE STUDIO
Based in Cambridge, we work on projects throughout the UK. Nicola has a hands-on approach, working closely with every client and bringing creativity and expertise to every project. Our designs are brought to life by the many makers, suppliers and craftspeople with whom we have cultivated relationships over a decade in the industry.
We tend to work on full house renovations but we also undertake complete individual rooms as our schedule allows. It’s never too early in your project to think about the interior design; we usually have a lead time of 3-4 months for beginning new projects, and the design and implementation for a full house project can take a year or more. By starting early, you give yourself the time and space to make the best possible decisions.
