Interior Design for Period and Character Properties in London and beyond.
Timeless interiors that feel like home.
Designing or renovating a home can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming.
There are so many decisions to make and it isn't always easy to know where to start, or how to create a home that will still feel right years from now.
I'm a London-based residential interior designer, working with period, characterful and contemporary homes.
Many of my clients come to me because they love their home's original features and want to make the most of them, or because their home feels like it's missing warmth, colour or personality.
Often, they know what they like, but aren't quite sure how to bring it all together.
That's where I come in.
My approach is about creating homes that feel warm, layered and individual - spaces that work beautifully for the people who live in them, while feeling right for the building itself.
A Considered Approach
Renovating a home comes with a lot of choices. From the layout and lighting to colour, finishes and furniture, it can be difficult to see how all the pieces will work together.
My role is to make that process feel clearer and more enjoyable, helping you make decisions with confidence while keeping sight of the bigger picture.
Every project starts with getting to know you: how you live, what matters to you, what you love, and how you want your home to feel. I also spend time understanding the character of the building, so that the design feels natural rather than imposed.
I take on a small number of projects at a time, allowing me to work closely with each client and keep the process calm, collaborative and personal.
Colour and Atmosphere
Colour is an important part of my work. I love the way it can transform the feeling of a room, adding warmth, depth and personality, so that it soothes and energises in equal measure.
I always start with you - the colours you're naturally drawn to and the ones that make you feel happy or calm - then consider how they work with the architecture, the light and the view outside.
The aim is to create a home that feels as though it has evolved naturally over time: comfortable, characterful and completely yours.
"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
Your home should work around the way you live.
I help clients adapt their homes around their everyday lives, from rethinking layouts and finding clever ways to use awkward spaces for storage, to making the most of original features or bringing more warmth and character to a contemporary property.
From bespoke cabinetry and vintage lighting to natural finishes and carefully chosen furniture, every element is considered for how it looks and functions within the space.
The result is a home that's comfortable, characterful and entirely your own - thoughtfully designed to evolve with you over time.

I offer three ways to work together, depending on the level of support your home and project need.
