Before any interior design begins, we ask these five questions.

Where does the light come from? It's always the first thing we look at. How much natural light a room has, and whether it faces north or south, begins to shape how a space should be used.

How does its shape behave? A low ceiling or a narrow room reads one way on a plan and quite another once it's lived in.

What should be designed around, and what deserves to be seen? Some architectural details need a considered solution. Others are too beautiful to bury.

How will people move through it? Entrances and exits start to suggest how a room will fall, and how it will actually be used.

How does it feel now, and how should it feel? The hardest to put into words, and often the one that guides everything else.

Every room answers differently, which is why luxury interiors begin with the particular room you're standing in.

Is a room ever truly finished?

In our interior design work, we think of a home in two layers. The architecture, proportions and layout are resolved once, with care, so that they hold for years. The layer above belongs to you: the art, books and pieces that arrive over time.

When the first layer is right, the second can grow and still feel calm and complete. For us, that quiet sense of ease is the mark of luxury interiors.

Three versions of the same kitchen and the client moved between them in real time.

They live overseas, so every decision about this South Kensington apartment was made at a distance. We built the room inside Immerse, our real-time visualisation platform developed with our sister practice Johanna Molineus Architects. The bar across the top of these images is the material selector. One click and the whole room changes.

What that produces is a different kind of conversation. The client is standing in a room, comparing a walnut scheme to a pale one, watching the floor move from dark to light, and arriving at a decision they understand completely. It has changed how we work on luxury interiors for clients who cannot visit a site.

Wetherby Gardens is a finalist in the SBID International Design Awards 2026, in CGI and Visualisation. Voting closes on the 4yh September and you can have your say by following the link in our bio.

A corner plot gives you light on two sides.

The work at Oliphant Street was in making the light travel: from the garden, through the dining and living space and to the kitchen.

Honed travertine and timber set a restrained backdrop for the clients art and textile collection. Bespoke joinery absorbs everything a family home has to hold.

A series of sustainable upgrades run through the house, supporting comfort now and performance over the long term.

Good interior design carries both.

Oliphant Street is a finalist in the SBID International Design Awards 2026, in Residential House Under £1M.

Vote for us via our highlights or link in bio. Public voting closes on 4 September.

Kinda chic to leave a few things unresolved.

In interior design, instinct is often to finish every surface and answer every question a room asks. We've found the opposite is usually true: a beam left exposed, metal free to tarnish, a table allowed to carry the marks of every dinner it has hosted.

Some of the best rooms we have worked on simply let the good pieces do the talking.

Studio Materi are finalists in three categories at the SBID International Design Awards 2026: Faisan in Berlin, Oliphant Street in Queen’s Park, and Wetherby Gardens in South Kensington.

Entries are assessed by a technical panel and an international judging panel, with the public vote making up the final 10%. Because our project sit in three separate categories, you can vote in all three.

The link is in our bio. Voting closes at 5pm on 4th September.

Just tap the link in our bio, click the 'vote for this finalist' button and add your name and email. Takes about 30 seconds.

You can only vote once in each category.

A Berliner Zimmer sits at the corner of a traditional Berlin apartment: a generous room with a single window, dark and internalized in the original layout.

We replaced a solid wall with a glazed Crittal screen and it became the centre of the home. Two adjoining apartments, joined into one at 293 square meters.

A corner plot gives you light on two sides. The work here was making it travel: from the garden to the kitchen into the dining and living space.

Honed travertine and timber, with bespoke joinery holding everything a family home has to hold.

The clients for Wetherby Gardens live overseas, so we built this South Kensington apartment inside Immerse, our real-time visualisation platform, and let them move through it before construction began.

They compared materials and lighting live, in the room.

Thank you to SBID International Design Awards for the shortlisting comma to the clients who trusted us with these three homes, and to everyone who takes a moment to vote.

A reassurance post for anyone currently living in a house with no kitchen and a strong opinion about skirting boards.

Every single project has a wobble point. Usually around the plaster stage, occasionally at the first coat of paint, always at 2am. If you're in it right now: nothing has gone wrong. This is just what the middle looks like.

Tag someone who's mid-renovation and needs to hear it.

And if you'd rather have someone hold your hand through the wobble next time, you know where we are.

Consider these yours. 🤍

Five things we tell every client, and now you. None of them are complicated. All of them are the difference between a space that photographs well and a space you actually want to live in.

We're not gatekeeping any of it, because good design shouldn't be a mystery.

But if you'd rather have someone apply it to your home for you, the link in our bio is where to start.

Which one do you already live by?
