Our Team
Founding Designer — JULIA
With a background spanning 10 years in bathroom and kitchen design, including roles in showroom management and product manufacturing, Julia brings a unique blend of technical know-how, design perspective and practicality to her designs.
Growing up amidst architectural brilliance, Julia innately knows how to maximise space and is never constrained by traditional design boundaries. Her exceptional rapport with tradespeople guarantees that the transition from design to reality is a smooth, seamless and stress-free collaboration.
Her approach to design isn't purely aesthetics — Julia takes a holistic view. Drawing from an earlier background in health and wellness, as a lifestyle consultant she infuses mindfulness into every project.
The emotional well-being of her team and clients is paramount. She has experienced for herself and understands the emotional challenges renovations can bring and ensures every client feels supported throughout the journey.
Believing that homes should reflect personal happiness and comfort rather than fleeting trends, Julia will always encourage her clients to wholeheartedly embrace what resonates uniquely with them, ensuring every home she touches becomes a sanctuary of happiness.
Interior Designer — Urszula
Urszula's journey into interior design is both inspiring and diverse. After earning her Master of Architecture degree in Poland in 2010, she initially embarked on a path as an architect. However, it wasn't long before her passion for interior design took over, leading Urszula to shift her focus from architecture to interiors.
Over the years, Urszula has amassed a wealth of experience across various sectors, from residential homes and hospitality venues to the unique environment of cruise ship cabins. This diverse portfolio has allowed her to develop a versatile design approach, catering to a wide range of client needs.
Her work with some of the UK's leading design practices has provided her with a rich blend of style influences and experience in a high-end, luxury market, enhancing her ability to create distinctive, personalised and lust-worthy interiors.
Living in Poland, Urszula originally favoured a modern aesthetic. But since moving to the UK 10 years ago and being introduced to the charm of classic British interiors, she has honed a unique style that beautifully merges both classic and modern elements.
When working on residential projects, Urszula believes in creating spaces that reflect the unique tastes and histories of each client, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Her advice for those struggling to define their interior style is to start with neutral colours and build from there, ensuring a timeless and versatile foundation.
