We are a UK-based interior design studio creating timeless, nurturing homes that are understated, authentic and restful. Unswayed by trends, our studio is guided by a strong, understated aesthetic, a commitment towards clarity, craftsmanship and natural materials that combine to create an atmosphere of elevated ease.

Our studio is led by Emma Milne who personally oversees each project. Emma has worked in the interior design industry for 18 years including seven years as a senior designer at Plain English Cupboardmakers where her skills in project management and spatial design were honed. Emma’s eye for proportion, her confidence with colour and her passion for quality craftsmanship continue to define our practice today.

People and place are at the heart of each of our projects and it is through a thorough and thoughtful understanding of both the building, its location and its inhabitants that we hope to create a personalised backdrop through which individuality and personal expression can thrive. We love seeing a building stripped back to its original features before making any design decisions. Only then do we apply our understanding of light, volume and spatial planning to enhance the authentic character of your home.

Our homes evolve and change over time to meet our needs which is why, when we embark on a new project, we adopt a long-term vision for your home. This vision is underpinned by our expectations of quality and longevity and filters through to every design decision.

The materials we gravitate towards support this spirit of longevity. We are drawn to natural materials that are inherently beautiful and practical, that connect us to the history of our homes and help us to feel grounded. The use of natural materials also supports our commitment to sustainable design. Similarly, the fixtures, fittings and equipment we specify – including flooring, fabrics, furniture, art and antiques – are chosen with only your home in mind and always with a strict eye on quality and longevity.
