January brings a sense of reset. It is often when interior design trends are forecast for the year ahead.

As an interior architecture and design practice, our role differs. Clients come to us to shape high-end residential interiors with longevity in mind. Trends exist in both fashion and interiors, but they do not lead our decisions. What matters is how a space supports daily life and responds to both client and architecture.

Every decision begins with use. Light within a room. Layouts which support how you move, rest, and socialise. Architecture which carries form and supports joinery, furniture, and materials chosen with intention rather than excess.

Materials must live well. Furniture must earn its place. Spaces should feel grounded from the outset and deepen through daily use.

For private clients, January is a reminder to design beyond the moment. To invest in interiors shaped by clarity, care, and long-term value.

monthly musings

In the studio, this shift informs how we approach interior architecture. There is a renewed focus on spatial planning. Circulation, proportion, and flow lead decisions. Materials follow function rather than trends, supporting interiors designed with purpose.

Client conversations centre on longevity and daily use. We consider how a space will age, how it supports rhythm and routine, and how it will feel in years to come. Longevity matters more than this year’s latest trend.

Bespoke joinery anchors many of our projects. Storage integrates seamlessly into architecture. Elements feel considered and permanent. Joinery supports order and ease without drawing attention.

Lighting remains restrained. Fewer gestures. More layers. Atmosphere shifts naturally throughout the day rather than relying on statement fittings. This approach keeps our work grounded, resolved, and enduring.

Craft plays a central role in our approach to interior design.

The value of skilled makers and craftspeople feels more present than ever. Materials chosen for longevity rely on knowledge, technique, and experience. Timber, stone, metal, and textiles gain depth through process and time.

We work closely with artisans and craftspeople who understand restraint. Their work supports and enriches the interior and architecture of a property rather than competing with it. Detail remains calm. Finishes age with grace.

These collaborations bring depth to our interior projects. Spaces gain character through care and craft, supporting interiors designed to live well over time.

intentions

Our intention for 2026 remains clear.

Design begins with how you live or work. Decisions serve purpose and longevity. Nothing feels applied. Everything belongs.

You deserve spaces which support daily life and hold meaning over time. Homes and environments feel resolved, not reactive.

January sets the tone. Thoughtful projects begin here. We look forward to shaping spaces with clarity, care, and confidence in the year ahead.
