The Studio
About
Over the past decade, Olivia has established a select team of six designers enabling her to be the creative lead on all projects, overseeing the smallest of details. While traditional decorating techniques, classic furniture and antiques are a feature of her work there is a freshness and a pared-back modernity to it. Olivia takes her influence from her client first and building parameters second, meaning each interior is different from the last. Olivia is a confessed colour enthusiast and lover of great art and unexpected furniture, which when combined, result in stand-alone spaces that appear to have developed over time. Her interiors are full of life and character, each piece of furniture is worthy of conversation and each room feels harmoniously coordinated but not staged. The studio is proud to have been named one of House & Garden’s Top 100 Interior Designers for the past 6 years, along with inclusions in Country Life’s top 100, Country & Town House’s top 50 and Luxe Deco’s Top 100. Using their wealth of experience Olivia and her team have successfully established a distinctive style within the luxury interiors and design market.
The majority of their projects are residential. “I love designing houses and honing my listening skills so that I can work with clients to create a home they will love. I have learnt so much from observing how people use their homes, how they work and relax, what their children like doing and how they entertain,” says Olivia. These observations have lead to the unlocking of unique designs with comfort at the heart. Olivia and her team bring colour, textiles and antiques into their designs, often using treasured items their clients have collected over the years along with new pieces they have found. While residential projects take centre stage, other projects include the refit of a superyacht by Jon Bannenberg, sympathetic to the original design, and very glamorous with polished teak and brass inlay. They have also completed two private family offices for art collectors in Mayfair, and they love designing special boardrooms and important offices.
