Kew Garden House

Our client engaged us early in the design phase of their architect-designed home, with a clear vision: they wanted their personality to shine through the strong architectural elements.

The architecture itself, centered around a stunning garden courtyard and featuring a dramatic spiral staircase, creates a beautiful focal point and connection to nature.

Our role was to design interiors that not only responded to these unique features but also added warmth, individuality, and an eclectic energy that truly reflected the family who lives here.

We are not about forcing a square peg into a round hole—we craft designs that feel natural and intentional. For this home, where curves dominate over straight lines, standard furnishings weren’t an option. We custom-designed a sofa to mirror the organic flow of the architecture, creating a piece that feels as sculptural as it is functional. The rug, inspired by the pond in the garden courtyard, was designed to bring the outdoors in, further connecting the interior to its natural surroundings.

 One of the standout spaces in the home is the sunken lounge, which catches the afternoon sun and offers a serene view of the pond just outside the window.

It’s the perfect spot to sit, relax, and unwind, with custom-designed furniture that enhances its tranquil ambiance.

Bespoke scatter cushions introduce subtle patterns that echo the natural shapes of the garden, while carefully chosen materials ensure the space feels both luxurious and welcoming.

Collaborating closely with the architects and build team, we ensured every detail enhanced the home’s functionality and character. The result is a cohesive, welcoming family home that harmonises bold architectural features with layered, soulful interiors, uniquely tailored to its owners.
