newsletter 2023

We share our highlights of 2023 and give a sneak peek of what we're looking forward to in 2024.

Here's a snapshot of our most recently completed projects:

HAMMOND'S: new photos!

Wine Bar and Restaurant, Oxted

Our Hammond’s wine bar and restaurant project in Oxted opened its first phase, the ground floor Wine Bar, in November 2022. This year, the first floor Fine Dining Restaurant and garden Courtyard have also opened. We are thrilled with the results and to be able to share some beautiful photos with you hot off the press.

Capturing the spirit of art deco, bringing the essence of the glamourous, decadent era to Oxted. The design features iconic geometric details, luxe materials and a quality of timeless charm.

IN PROGRESS…

Private Residential, Surrey

We have been very busy throughout this year with a wonderful residential project in Surrey. This large project includes a full house refurbishment, sympathetic to the existing property. We are working alongside our clients, the architect, main contractor and team as the build rapidly progresses. We can’t wait to see this project come to fruition in 2024.

PLUS…

A flavour of the projects we’ve worked on this year:

Single Storey Extensions

We regularly get asked to create a new, larger space for a kitchen/ dining/ living space. This year, we have worked on several of these projects for really lovely clients. It is always fantastic to see the transformation this brings to family life and how the new space really does make the day to day tasks easier and more enjoyable. We work on all aspects of the project, from creating feasibility plans (looking at several options of layout), helping obtain planning permission; kitchen quotes; to finishes and light fittings.

Individual Room Refurbishments

We love the variety in our projects, both in type of space and the look and feel we are asked to create. This year, for example, we have worked on a garden study refurbishment, creating a warm, traditional library feel to the space. We are also working on several ‘formal’ sitting room projects, where our clients want to create a sociable space for family and friends to gather and relax.

Consultancy

Alongside the larger projects, we also offer a two hour consultancy because we find sometimes people prefer a little help with one key problem. While we are happy to help with all interior design issues, we are often asked for help with choosing paint colours. We help narrow down the over-whelming choice of colours by looking at the orientation of the room, the amount of light, how the light changes through the day and how our clients want to feel in the room. We bring samples of paint colours to the appointment, and follow up with a detailed schedule of paint colours for walls, ceilings, woodwork and any fiddly areas. We love seeing the relief on client’s faces when we have helped them make a decision…and saved them an awful lot of time and energy!

2024…

Expanding

2023 was really exciting for us as we took on some extra help in the studio, to ease our growing workload. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with our two talented freelancers and we can’t wait to continue to expand and develop our studio.

We turn SIX!

Having started in 2018 juggling pre-school children and working two days a week, we have developed year on year. In Jan ‘24 our business will be 6 years old, and true to the cliché, time has really flown by!
