INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO NEAR ISLINGTON, WORKING ACROSS LONDON AND THE UK

Quiet or bold,
a room in good 
proportion
always sings.

So does the home. At ease, warm, and full of character, its rooms unfold, one into the next.

What my clients say

“…the mark of a truly brilliant interior designer isn’t just their ability to create beautiful spaces, but their ability to create beautiful spaces that feel unmistakably like the people who live in them. That’s exactly what he does.”

—Matthew, St Albans, UK

“Peter identified opportunities to improve the layout, reconfiguring our living and dining spaces, while keeping contractor adjustment costs to a minimum.”

“His ability to visualize a space and immediately determine what will and won't work provided immense reassurance throughout the project.”

—Marianne & Alessandro, London, UK

“His decisive eye and clear robust feedback helped me pull it together, bringing in an overarching design language… all within my budget.”

—Philip, London, UK

"I design homes in good proportion: to their buildings, to the people who live there, and to what matters most in form and function.

“When I design, I create a style that is uniquely yours. Through my own process that clients find engaging and revealing, I learn what you like and what draws you to a particular look, so the result is a home you'll genuinely love.

"Next comes proportion. I read the house, whether a Victorian terrace, a modern flat or a family house with an extension, and I plan its space, calibrating its features, light, colour and texture to the building and to how you live in it. It's a function of maths as well as taste, and it’s how a room goes from awkward to beautiful and useful.

"Throughout the process, you can expect me to be candid with you, especially about where to spend and where to save, so the focus goes to what matters most in each room.

“Designing a home should be joyful. My aim is to help you realise the potential of your home, then to hold the vision, structure and detail so you can simply enjoy a collaborative and creative process. The best part comes after: the first morning in a home that feels like yours."

Where to start

If you're buying a home and want to know its potential before you commit, or need help with a few key decisions, start with a consultancy. If you have one room in mind for a redesign, start there, and take the rest of the home in phases. If you're renovating or extending, I'll plan the interiors and the architecture together. If you're not sure, the first conversation will tell us both.
