We have just launched our new case study for our recently completed project for Mantle Projects for Kier Group. Head over to our case study: https://www.ralphsmith.co/projects/kier-group
This was such a lovely project to work on from start to finish. Flexing our design skills navigating an extremely tricky building layout was our challenge, but having a client that allowed us the freedom to create a lovely environment for their team is just everything!

Top 3 things that instantly elevate a space ✨

Hear from our founder, Chloe, as she shares the three design elements that make the biggest difference:

💡 Lighting – The quickest way to change the feel of a room.

🛋️ Furniture – Choose pieces that balance comfort, function, and style.

🎨 Walls – Paint, cladding, or textured finishes can add depth, character, and personality.

The best part? You don’t always need a full redesign. Sometimes it’s simply about making smarter choices in the areas that have the biggest impact.

To you it may just be an office, meeting room or breakout area - but as designers, there’s so much happening behind the scenes that you’ll never even notice… 👀

Such as:

- Aligning furniture layouts with how people actually work.
- Maintaining accessibility and compliant clearances.
- Designing sightlines so spaces feel intuitive.
- Creating psychological cues that guide movement.
- Coordinating ceiling layouts, M&E, furniture and partitioning.
- Layering ambient, task, and accent lighting.
- Selecting colour temperatures appropriate for the space.
- Comparing supplier options and lead times.
- Keeping track of procurement and organising installation.
- Selecting fabrics based on the area it is being used in, cleaning requirements, and fire ratings.
- Measuring every item during the build stage to ensure it fits.

Because great design isn’t just about how a space looks - it’s about how it works, flows, and feels!

Great office design isn’t just about how a space looks - it’s about how it works.

We focus on maximising every square metre to ensure your workspace delivers the best possible performance for your team. Smart space planning allows for flexibility, efficiency, and comfort without ever compromising on style.

In this project, we carefully integrated a variety of working environments to support a wide range of needs - all while keeping the space open, light, and practical. From large soft-seating collaboration areas and high-seating meeting zones to private meeting pods and intimate seating coves for 1-to-1 conversations or focused solo work, every space has been designed with purpose.

Does your workspace make the most of different work settings?

Two inspiring days at Clerkenwell Design Week ✨

From catching up with existing suppliers and making new connections, to discovering exciting materials, product launches, and fresh design inspiration - CDW has been full of brilliant conversations and ideas.

We loved attending insightful CPDs with on the material language of biophilic design, and on the importance of trusted data in shaping design decisions and outcomes.

Day 2 brought some much-needed sunshine, making the experience even better. Highlights included breakfast with exploring the incredible spaces at Material Source, and a wonderfully calming retreat hosted by followed by an inspiring talk on Feng Shui.

A fantastic couple of days reconnecting, learning, and being inspired by the design community 👏

It’s Clerkenwell Design Week!

We’re already feeling excited for tomorrow and Thursday as me and Claire head back for one of our favourite weeks of the year.

Looking back at last year’s visit has us even more inspired - from paint palettes and fabric swatches to standout furniture and lighting pieces, there’s always so much to explore. It’s the perfect place to stay connected with the latest industry trends and innovations.

Can’t wait to be back and catch up with familiar faces over the next few days. Let us know if you’ll be there 👇

Some fun Friday inspo focusing on the colour yellow ☀️

We’ve been immersed in Stage 2 concept work this week for a well-known food brand where yellow plays a big part in their identity - which has inspired today’s post… that and hoping this will manifest the sun coming back out!!

Bold yet surprisingly versatile, yellow has the power to completely transform a space. From soft buttery hues that add warmth and calm, to rich ochres and mustards that bring depth and personality, it can feel both playful and sophisticated when used intentionally.

How would you incorporate yellow into your space - bold statement or subtle accents? 🌻

Sodexo’s concept to reality ✨

We put real care into creating highly realistic renders, giving our clients a clear and confident vision of the final space from day one.

By staying accurate and transparent throughout, we build trust in the process and ensure there are no surprises - just great design, delivered exactly as imagined.

And of course, it’s always a joy to bring these projects to life!
