Robert Kime. My godfather of English interior decoration.

Not just for his extraordinary wallpapers and textiles, but for his whole approach to style and taste.

I’ve always found his work hugely inspiring. He had that rare ability to put things together that shouldn’t necessarily work, but somehow always did. Nothing felt too considered or overly decorated. Rooms had a wonderful sense of age, comfort and personality, as though they’d evolved naturally over generations.

It’s an approach to interiors that I’ve always admired and tried to bring into my own work. Good taste isn’t about everything matching or being perfectly coordinated. It’s about having the confidence to mix things, trust your eye and allow a room to develop its own character.

In this loft bedroom, we used one of his wallpapers above painted timber panelling running to dado height, alongside our Jamie Hooks and Aged Bronze Round Cabinet K***s.

For me, the wallpaper is the star of the show. By a country mile.

Let the room dictate the kitchen.

This kitchen occupies a single seven-metre run along one wall of a converted church.

It would have been easy to wrap the cabinetry around the corner and squeeze in more storage, but that would have made the room feel like a fitted kitchen rather than the generous architectural space it once was.

In period buildings, I often find restraint leads to better design. By keeping the kitchen to one wall, the proportions of the room remain intact and the original architecture continues to take centre stage.

Sometimes the best design decision is knowing when to stop.

Some of the best design goes almost unnoticed.

Our 2” Little Chap Brackets are designed to do exactly that. Small enough to disappear beneath the shelf, yet strong enough to support solid timber loaded with books, plants and the things that make a house feel lived in.

When the brackets don’t demand attention, the shelves – and everything on them – become the focus.

Behind every great kitchen is a hardworking pantry.

A well-designed pantry quietly does the heavy lifting. It keeps the kitchen clear, organised and uncluttered, so the space you spend time in feels calmer, more practical and more enjoyable to use. When everything has its place behind one door, the kitchen is free to be exactly what it should be.

In this pantry, we’ve used our 12”, 10” and 4” cast bronze pantry brackets to create shelving that’s built to be used every day and made to last a lifetime.

Simple forms, endless combinations.

A single k**b might seem insignificant.

Mix it with another shape. Repeat it across a piece of furniture, a kitchen or an entire house, and those small decisions begin to shape the character of the space.

Good design isn’t always about adding more. Often it’s about finding the right combination and repeating it with confidence.

Featured here are our Aged Bronze Round Cabinet K**b, Sand-Cast Bronze Oval Cabinet K**b, and 1 Inch Sand-Cast Bronze Round Cabinet K**b.

The simplest objects are often the ones you use every day.

Our sand-cast bronze screw hooks are made using traditional sand casting, giving each piece its own subtle texture. Designed to age naturally, they’re a small detail that quietly becomes part of the fabric of a house.

Sometimes it’s these understated details that give a home its character.

An alcove seat doesn’t need to work hard to earn its place in a room.

This bespoke alcove seat combines seating and architecture in a way that feels as though it has always belonged, sitting open beneath rather than enclosed. Finished with our cast bronze upholstery buttons and turned furniture legs, both available in our home store, it rests comfortably against the beautifully worn plasterwork we chose to preserve rather than conceal.

It’s a very nice place to settle down with a cup of coffee. Though if you happen to be drinking a Negroni, you’ll notice it matches the blood-red leather of the seat rather too well.

A closer look at one of the details that quietly holds a room together.

This bespoke footstool was designed for the space, standing on hand-stripped and waxed original floorboards — the kind of character sanding would have erased completely. Look closer and you’ll find the real craftsmanship: a turned Ottoman Leg, hand-finished and substantial enough to anchor the whole piece.

It’s available through the shop, and it’s exactly the sort of detail we build into every piece — small enough to miss, impossible to unsee once you have.

This rug has lived a few lives before this one.

It was woven in the 19th century for a French stately home, chosen by someone who wanted their reception rooms to feel as grand as the architecture around them. Generations later, it surfaced in Joshua Lumley’s showroom, waiting for the right room to ask for it.

We weren’t looking for it specifically. We were looking for something that wouldn’t compete with this room’s other survivor: the original Georgian plasterwork, left faded rather than restored, because a perfectly restored ceiling would have made every original cornice look like an apology.

When the rug arrived, it didn’t need introducing. The colours had already done the work of fading gracefully, and it sat beneath the floor-to-ceiling windows as if it had been there since the house was built. We added bespoke alcove seating, a leather-topped coffee table, and a footstool, all new, all made to disappear into the room rather than announce themselves.

That’s the part people don’t always notice in photos. The best rooms aren’t curated. They’re collected, layer by layer, decade by decade, until a room stops looking decorated and starts looking lived in.

A quiet corner from a recent project — an oak and sapele side table we made bespoke for the room, alongside George Smith seating and a vintage rug from Joshua Lumley. The best interiors rarely come from one piece. They build slowly, through materials, craftsmanship, and objects gathered over time.

If you’re planning a project and need bespoke joinery, furniture, or interior design support, we’d love to hear from you.
