Timeless interiors that feel like home.
Designing or renovating a home - whether a period or contemporary property - can feel overwhelming.
It's not always easy to know where to begin, or how to make choices that will still feel right years from now.
I'm a London-based residential interior designer, specialising in characterful homes and sensitive renovations.
Many clients come to me because they want to retain or reintroduce original features, or bring greater warmth and personality to their home, but aren’t sure where to start.
My work focuses on creating interiors that feel calm, layered and deeply connected to the architecture of the building and the people who live there.
A Considered Approach
Navigating the complexities of a renovation - particularly one with history - requires a steady hand.
My role is to provide clarity and guidance, helping with decisions around layout, materials, finishes and colour, so that every choice feels right for you.
Each project begins with careful listening: understanding how you live, how you want your home to feel and the quirks of the building, so that the design direction feels natural and resolved.
Grounded in craftsmanship, thoughtful material choices and respect for heritage, my work brings old and new together to create interiors that feel harmonious, personal and designed to last.
By taking on a limited number of projects at a time, the process remains calm and collaborative.
Colour and Atmosphere
Colour plays a vital role in my work, bringing depth, balance and a distinct sense of soul to a space.
Each palette begins with the client - the shades they are naturally drawn to and those that evoke a sense of calm - before being shaped by the architecture, the nature outside and the shifting light within each room.
The aim is a home that feels like it's always belonged to you, where colour deepens the atmosphere, rather than dominating it.
"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 effortless - shaped around real life and evolving needs.
I work with clients to adapt homes for modern living, from reconfiguring layouts in Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian houses, to refining the flow of contemporary properties.
From bespoke cabinetry and vintage lighting to natural finishes and carefully sourced furnishings, each element is chosen to support both style and long-term comfort.
The result is a warm, lived-in home, designed to stand the test of time.
