Timeless interiors that feel like home - shaped with care and intention.
Designing or renovating a home can feel complex, particularly in period properties where every choice has lasting impact.
From layout and flow, to colour, finishes and materials, it isn't always easy to know where to begin - or how to make decisions that will still feel right years from now.
I design soulful, thoughtful interiors for homes with character - guiding you through the interior design process with clarity and care, so each step feels considered, confident and true to the way you live.
Rooted in architectural context and shaped around everyday life, my work creates calm, layered homes that feel settled, personal and enduring.
Based in London, I work as a residential interior designer with a particular expertise in period homes, while bringing the same considered approach to contemporary properties that benefit from warmth, depth and a sense of permanence.
A Considered Design Process
​Designing a home - particularly a period property renovation - can feel overwhelming.
My role is to guide you through the interior design process with a steady, structured approach, helping you make confident decisions around layout, finishes, colour and materials so every choice feels intentional and true to you.​
I take the time to understand how you live, how you want your home to feel and
what already exists within the building.
Each project begins with careful listening - considering the architecture, proportions and natural rhythm of the space before any design decisions are made.
From there, I develop a clear and cohesive design direction, helping you navigate choices in a way that feels measured and thoughtful rather than rushed.
By taking on only a small number of projects at a time, the process remains calm, collaborative and enjoyable, resulting in a home that feels settled, personal and enduring, shaped around the way you live, both now and in the years to come.
Design Philosophy
Every home has a story - and good design begins by listening to it. At the heart of every home are the people who live there - and interior design should respond to the way a space is used, felt and lived in each day.
My work is rooted in craftsmanship, the careful use of materials and a respect for architectural context.
I specialise in the restoration and redesign of period interiors, while also working with contemporary homes where thoughtful detailing and layered finishes can bring warmth and character.
Through considered use of colour, texture, proportion and joinery, I design interiors that feel grounded,
cohesive and timeless.
Nothing is imposed without care. Each element is designed in context, allowing old and new to sit comfortably together and ensuring the home - whether historic or modern - feels authentic and well-balanced.
"I knew that from the moment I contacted Nina she was right for the job. She helped me tremendously, from turning an empty new house into the vision that I wanted my home to be. Her timing and attention to detail was impeccable, she really listened to my brief and created the perfect interior for my forever home.

Homes Designed to be Lived In
A well-designed home should feel easy - shaped around real life, with comfort and flow at its heart.
I work with clients to adapt homes for modern living, whether reconfiguring layouts in Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian houses or refining the flow of more contemporary properties.
From bespoke joinery and custom cabinetry to vintage lighting, natural materials and carefully sourced furnishings, every interior detail is chosen to support both beauty and long-term comfort.
The result is a home that feels warm, lived-in and complete - designed to stand the test of time.
Working Together
I offer three ways to work together, each shaped around a thoughtful, measured approach and a sensitivity to the home's inherent character.
At the centre of every project is an understanding of how you live - your routines, priorities and the way you want your home to support daily life - allowing design decisions to feel purposeful as well as considered.
