We create timeless spaces that invite us in, elevating our mood.

We believe that interior design should be aspirational as well as homely. Gently enhancing the architecture, allowing the building to breathe.

“We begin each project by forging a connection with the building to feel a sense of its history, before gently peeling off the layers in order to let the original structure breathe.”

Testimonials

  • "Beyond anything we could have imagined."

    Laura spent time with us to understand how we would use the space on a daily basis and with this knowledge presented beautiful well thought out mood boards which fitted our lifestyle and family perfectly. Laura’s sourcing of furniture, accessories and soft furnishings was impeccable with everything suited to our style which compliment the space and feel of the house with a very classic but welcoming style which will not date.

    The result is beyond anything we could have imagined, a light airy front room which is a joy to spend time in and the perfect entrance to our home in additional to our dream kitchen where everything seamlessly fits together with well thought out features which will work brilliantly for our family for many years to come.

  • “I loved working with Laura!”

    I needed help primarily with the kitchen lighting design in the new home I am building. Laura explained to me how she approaches lighting design and what I should think about in choosing light fixtures. She also gave me several excellent resources for light fixtures that I had never heard of.

    After talking to Laura I feel less stressed and more confident in finalizing my kitchen design. Laura is super nice and down-to-earth; I highly recommend working with her!

  • “Hugely experienced, creative & fun”

    We employed Laura when renovating our kitchen and living room in our house in South West London. We needed guidance on layout as well as interior design and she was brilliant - hugely experienced, creative and fun to work with.

    We felt in really safe hands and she has helped us transform our living space into something we love and are proud to show to friends and family.

    LBMs offering is totally unique. To be able to tap into their experience through all the stages of the process has been very rewarding.

    The attention to detail Laura has is her superpower, she has very high standards and an amazing eye for the details which results in the most incredible finished product with all the small details truly making the difference. The feeling of seeing the finished house for the first time will stay with us forever, every mood board had come to life as envisaged, which literally left us speechless.
