Susan Van Meter Interiors GOING BEYOND DESIGN
A London-based Interior design studio delivering dream homes since 1990. Stylish . Sustainable . Our homes should be collected, not decorated.

Smart

Elements that I believe make a design whole, restore your senses and create a true sanctuary, in perfect harmony with your surroundings.
​
Stylish design that functions to improve your lifestyle and benefit the environment. A place where you can thrive; Your dream home realised. MY STORY

I have been delivering dream homes to my clients within budget and on time since 1990.
​
I have turned my creative hand and problem-solving skills to both high-end residential and commercial projects around the globe.
​
I am at my very best when I am helping my clients to create their forever homes and improve their well being. MY VISION

I go beyond design to get to the heart of how each person in your home lives, works, eats, plays, and rests. A collection of what we love. A meaningful space that tells a story of who we are.
​
It's not just about bricks and mortar. It's about providing a healthy, balanced, and stylish home as an essential foundation for them to build their lives.
​
MY ETHOS

I'm here to show you that sustainable design doesn’t mean compromising on style. We help you make informed, responsible decisions for both product and design reducing any negative environmental impacts on people and our planet.
​
I believe the purchase of sustainable product begins here in the UK, by supporting British designers and manufacturers, where possible, that have committed to sustainable policies and procedures. SERVICE

As an interior designer with over 30 years experience, I have seen first hand, how easy it is for people to make costly and time consuming mistakes. Interior design can be extremely complex, technical and challenging to deliver on time and staying within budget. It is a significant financial and emotional undertaking. Your dream home can become a stressful money pit. It doesn't have to be this way, but it does take a professional to create your dreams and turn them into a reality by delivering your vision, maximising your ROI, balancing the budget, ensuring a stress-free process, and providing sustainable design options.

​With my professional guidance, expertise and dedication, my team can create any interior style you would like. The project can range from one room to a whole house based on a standard consultant or full design service offered.

Yes — and it starts long before choosing furniture.

A well-designed space considers how you experience the room, not just how it looks.

Design decisions that can transform the feeling of space include:

* Improving circulation between areas
* Using lighting strategically
* Creating bespoke storage solutions
* Choosing materials that enhance openness
* Maximising natural light

The goal isn’t simply to make a room appear bigger.

It’s to make every part of the home feel intentional and effortless.

Great interiors don’t compete with art — they create the perfect setting for it.

Artwork is often one of the most personal elements within a home.

Rather than treating it as something to add at the end, thoughtful interior design considers how artwork interacts with:

* Colour palettes
* Lighting
* Furniture placement
* Architectural details
* The overall atmosphere of the space

In this approach, furnishings become the supporting cast — allowing treasured pieces to take centre stage while still creating a cohesive interior.

The result is a home that feels curated, not decorated.

Because luxury is not about filling a space.

It’s about creating the right environment for the things that matter most.

The best renovations don’t erase history — they reveal it.

Working with a historic property requires a careful balance.

The aim isn’t to replace the character that makes a home special.

It’s to enhance it.

This refurbishment respected the heritage of the original church meeting house while introducing modern functionality, contemporary furnishings, and a more open way of living.

The result is a home where:

* Original character is celebrated
* Modern comfort is introduced thoughtfully
* Old and new exist in harmony

Great design understands that every property has a story.

The role of the designer is to help that story continue.

A room can have beautiful furniture, premium finishes, and carefully selected pieces — yet still lack something.

The missing element is often connection.

Luxury interiors require more than individual beautiful items. They need:

* Balance between rooms
* Thoughtful proportions
* Layered lighting
* A consistent material palette
* A clear design story

The difference between a decorated home and a designed home is how every element works together.

A truly finished interior feels effortless because every detail has a purpose.

The most luxurious homes are designed around the way you live.

Beautiful interiors should do more than impress visually.

They should support everyday life.

This dining and library area was designed to create a space that feels both refined and welcoming — a place for conversation, relaxation, and connection.

By carefully balancing:

* Contemporary furniture with existing pieces
* Colour with calmness
* Function with character
* Design with personality

The space becomes more than a room.

It becomes part of the homeowner’s lifestyle.

Because the best interiors aren’t created around trends.

They are created around people.

Why do some open-plan spaces feel effortless… while others feel disconnected?

Open-plan living sounds simple — but creating a space that feels cohesive requires careful planning.

Without thoughtful design, larger spaces can easily lose warmth, purpose, and connection.

The key is understanding how every element works together:

* Furniture placement that defines different zones
* Materials and colours that create flow
* Lighting that changes the atmosphere throughout the day
* Proportions that make the space feel balanced

In this refurbishment, the lounge and dining areas were designed as one continuous experience — allowing each space to have its own identity while still belonging together.

Because true luxury is not just about having more space.

It’s about making every part of that space work beautifully.

Absolutely.

A successful interior is not always about replacing everything — it’s about understanding what deserves to stay.

Existing furniture, artwork, antiques, or sentimental pieces can often become some of the most meaningful elements within a new design scheme.

The key is knowing how to balance what you already love with new elements that elevate the overall space.

Through careful consideration of proportion, colour, texture, and placement, we create interiors that feel personal rather than staged.

Because the most beautiful homes tell your story — not someone else’s.

Luxury interior design doesn’t replace your story — it elevates it.

A common misconception is that working with an interior designer means starting again from scratch.

But the most meaningful homes are often created by blending the new with the pieces that already matter.

For this refurbishment, the design approach centred around celebrating the client’s personality — creating a sophisticated backdrop where existing artwork, treasured possessions, and contemporary furnishings could exist together beautifully.

The result is a home that feels:
✨ Personal
✨ Considered
✨ Authentic
✨ Completely unique

Because the most successful interiors don’t simply reflect a design style.

They reflect the people who live there.

The difference between a good renovation and a great one is decided before anything is built.

Once construction begins, it’s already too late for major direction changes.

That’s why in projects like this Belgravia townhouse, success comes from:

* Clear design decisions made early
* A fully considered spatial plan
* Alignment between design intent and ex*****on
* A structured process that removes uncertainty

The most successful homes aren’t the ones with the most features.

They’re the ones where every decision was made with clarity from the start.

If you’re planning a renovation, this is where the conversation should begin.

Most renovation stress doesn’t come from the build itself.

It comes from trying to manage:

* Designers
* Contractors
* Suppliers
* Timelines
* Decisions that overlap

A full-service interior design approach removes that pressure by managing everything as one joined-up process.

Instead of reacting to problems, everything is planned in advance.

That’s how projects stay controlled, consistent, and aligned with the original vision.

If you’re planning a renovation and want clarity from the start, this is where to begin.
