About Me

If you own a Victorian or Edwardian home, you already know it's not like designing any other kind of space. The proportions (sometimes awkward), the original features, the layers of history all deserve a thoughtful approach, not a generic mood board.

I'm Hannah, an interior designer based in SW London specialising in period homes across London and Surrey. I work with homeowners who care about getting it right - people who want their home to feel completely specific to them and not based on trends.

My obsession with period properties started in 2012 when I bought my first Victorian flat in South London. Since then I've renovated two further homes with my husband and currently live in an Edwardian house in Worcester Park - so when a client asks me about cornicing, sash windows or the right paint colour for a Victorian hallway, I'm drawing on real experience as much as professional training.

I originally trained as a musician (saxophone and composition) and spent 16 years as a Director of Music before retraining as an interior designer in 2023. That background shapes how I work more than you might expect - rhythm, texture and proportion are as central to good design as they are to good music, and I bring the same ear for detail to a room scheme that I once brought to a composition.

As a regular visitor to France, I source unusual pieces for clients on trips to French brocantes and ceramics studios, which means your home can end up with unique pieces selected for you.

I do this work because I believe the homes we live in shape how we feel every day - and most people are sitting in spaces that aren't working nearly as hard for them as they could be. That's the problem I'm here to solve.
