OUR APPROACH
Every project begins with listening and asking the right questions. We want to understand not only how our clients live but how they would like to live, what draws their eye and what makes a place feel unmistakably theirs. Often, the most revealing details are not found in the initial brief.
Our approach is intuitive, perceptive and underpinned by rigour. We consider the home as a whole, bringing architecture, colour, lighting, furniture, textiles and art into conversation. Beauty and practicality are not treated as opposing forces. After all, even the loveliest room must accommodate real life.
We cast the net widely and then edit carefully. Research, drawing, sourcing and material exploration allow us to turn a wealth of possibilities into a clear and distinctive scheme. Our clients are guided through thoughtful choices without being presented with every chair, tap or shade of off-white in existence.
Collaboration is central to the process, but so too is trust. The most successful projects are those in which our clients feel able to trust our judgement and allow the studio to lead the design process, knowing that every decision is considered in the context of their home, their lives and the wider scheme. This clarity of roles allows us to make confident decisions, maintain a coherent vision and navigate the inevitable complexities of a project with greater ease.
Anouska remains closely involved throughout, supported by the studio team and a trusted network of architects, contractors, artisans and specialist makers. Detailed drawings and specifications give the wider project team clarity, while ongoing dialogue allows good ideas to evolve without losing sight of the original vision.
From the architectural gestures that shape a room to the smaller details that give it soul, every element is considered in relation to the whole. The result is a home with atmosphere, individuality and depth: expressive of the people who live there and designed to become richer with time.
BESPOKE DESIGN
Our most comprehensive service, for renovations and complete homes in London and beyond. We guide your project from the earliest concepts through to the final finishing touches. Combining thoughtful creative direction with technical design, careful planning and diligent coordination, we create deeply personal homes that are distinctive and enduring, allowing you to enjoy the process with confidence while we oversee the many details on your behalf.
Depending on the requirements of the project, our work may encompass spatial planning, kitchen and bathroom design, bespoke joinery, lighting and electrical layouts, finishes and material specifications, alongside furniture, textiles and art. We work closely with architects, contractors and specialist consultants throughout the design and construction process, providing the detailed drawings and specifications required to translate the creative vision into a finished home.
Every project is shaped around the people who live there and incorporates bespoke elements such as joinery, furniture, window treatments and soft furnishings. Art often plays an important role within our interiors and we regularly collaborate with specialist art consultants to curate collections that add impact and personality to a home.
From initial concept through to installation, the studio remains closely involved, overseeing procurement and supporting the realisation of the design as it evolves on site. This integrated approach allows clients to feel confident and at ease, while the scheme is brought to life with a focus on depth, character and refinement

CURATED FURNISHING DESIGN
Designed for homeowners who are happy with the architectural character of their home but would like professional guidance in transforming how it looks and feels. Whether focused on a single room, a collection of spaces or an entire home, this service brings together furniture, decorative lighting, textiles, artwork and finishing details to create interiors with cohesion, depth and personality.
Following a detailed questionnaire and consultation at your home, the studio will develop a tailored design concept shaped around how you live, your aesthetic preferences and the atmosphere you would like to create. A thoughtful palette of colour, materials and furnishings establishes the character of each space, while thoughtful layouts ensure that the home flows in function and in vision.
From an exceptional piece of furniture or artwork to the fabric at a window, each element is selected for the part it plays within the wider scheme. Existing kitchens and bathrooms can be woven into this vision too, using colour, lighting, textiles, artwork and decorative details to give familiar spaces a new character.
A comprehensive furnishing specification brings everything together, with carefully selected furniture, rugs, window treatments, decorative lighting, artwork and accessories, alongside trusted supplier recommendations and procurement support. The result is a home that feels layered, individual and completely your own.
INTERIOR DESIGN Consultations
Tailored in-home design and renovation advice for homeowners in London and the surrounding areas, with remote consultations also available for projects further afield.
Designed for homeowners seeking thoughtful, expert guidance, these consultations offer the opportunity to explore your home with Anouska in person, discussing both the overarching vision and the finer details of your project.
Whether you are refreshing a single room, contemplating more extensive changes or considering the purchase of a new home and weighing up its possibilities, each consultation is shaped around your priorities, offering creative direction and practical insight to help you make confident decisions.
Conversations might explore the aesthetic character and atmosphere of a space, layout and functionality, colour and materials, furniture and lighting, or broader questions around renovation, investment and where best to focus your attention.
Consultations may be booked from one hour for a focused discussion, or extended to half a day for larger homes and more comprehensive projects. Where further input would be valuable, the studio can also advise on suitable next steps and ongoing design support following the consultation.
A FEW KIND WORDS…
“After our first conversation with Anouska, we felt confident she truly understood our tastes and what we wanted to achieve. She created a home that perfectly captures our personalities, warm, playful and layered with a touch of sophistication, without ever feeling pretentious. Anouska and her team didn't just transform how the house looks; they made it so much more functional for everyday family life through beautifully considered storage and thoughtful design.
It finally feels like our home, rather than living in someone else's, and we're incredibly proud to welcome friends and family into it. Every space feels light, warm and welcoming, and there isn't a room we don't love. We're already planning to work with Anouska again when the time comes to create a nursery if our family grows”
