London-based designer Isabella Worsley takes a fresh and characterful approach to design. Her use of colour and pattern, in both furniture and on the walls lends itself to a more youthful and vibrant approach to design with a British flair. This isn’t stuffy nor is it granny-approved, and it sure is family-friendly.

A townhouse in Bristol which mixes old with new, layering playful colour and textures with a palette of beautiful natural materials. We created an eclectic and timeless interior filled with art, antiques and intriguing objects sourced with our intuitive sense of style and fun.

This was full house renovation to restore and bring back to life a Victorian semi detached house in SE London. We designed the kitchen extension sympathetic to the original house and to appear like it was always there. We created a warm and inviting family home, rich with colour, texture, traditional features and clever lighting. Designed by Uns Hobbs, this home is soooo charming! The colours are so pretty and warm, and the deVOL kitchen is an absolute dream (chef’s kiss to that “Refectory Red”). Photos: Boz Gagovski.

This exceptional house once belonged to a member of Queen Victoria’s household. It has now been painstakingly restored by its current owner who approached us to reconfigure the kitchen and pantry spaces which were a muddle of small rooms unsuitable for everyday dining and hosting informal supper parties. As often happens, our reach then spread to other areas of the house. In this case, we were also invited to design and make furniture for a guest kitchen, bedroom wardrobes and a bookshelf and bench seat set within a turret. Our work in this stunning house then extended to the billiard room and a kitchen for the cottage.
The bespoke joinery of Artichoke is what any/every period home needs to bring it back to its former glory and make it effortlessly functional and beautiful. The work they contributed in this home is spectacular and will only become more so over time.

“Put simply, the brief was for a down-size apartment for a client transitioning from a large house and garden which came with a lifetime of carefully and intelligently collected art and furniture … The nexus of a decorative late-modernist building, definitive spatial planning and a desire to make a setting for art, objects and furniture came together in a particular way. Materiality, texture, surface and colour draw on the tertiary hues of late modernism and the luxurious intensity of a design movement at its hedonistic zenith – an approach epitomized by the extensive use of that most bourgeois of tones – beige. Enfilade planning opens up the interior and de-limits horizontal space, a progression which is enlivened through intense but purposefully muted colour and texture at the entry and in the snug. And finally, the impact of precious objects is heightened through designation of specific places – plinths, platforms and ledges, but also through an elevated entourage of grasscloth, raw linen, limed oak and polished plaster.

This apartment is civilized in the very best sense, it is not vulgar luxury, rather it reflects a thoughtful and cultivated approach to living beautifully and well.”
