Design Stories

Homes tell stories, of the people who live there, their rhythms, rituals, and their sense of beauty and joy.

Isobel approaches both small and large projects with care and curiosity. Atmosphere and identity are created through colour, materials, and craftsmanship. Composing and balancing the personal, practical, architectural, and environmental to shape homes that are soulful, layered, and comfortable in their own skin.

“In order to fully understand each project and bring each home to life, my focus is on whole house, full-service interior design for private clients. That said, I provide consultancy, masterclasses and take on commercial or smaller-scope projects when time allows and for those who seek bespoke, expressive spaces, with narrative and substance.

  • "When I contacted Isobel I was struggling to decide how to decorate a small guest bedroom. Isobel took time to listen to my needs and preferences. We then worked through different options and ideas. The whole process was enjoyable and relaxed. I was excited and motivated by the time Isobel left. Isobel then sent me a fantastic follow up consultation document. As well as documenting all the ideas she also suggested some alternative ideas to consider. I would have no hesitation in recommending Isobel."

  • "Isobel's insightful, considered advice showed an attention to detail and vision that helped us to reimagine what was just a functional part of the house. As a result we now use the space daily and it has a character and life of its own. Thank you."

  • “Isobel’s approach to designing a home was something I had never considered before. She engaged all the senses, making the process feel very personal and immersive. Her unique perspective on home design truly opened my eyes to new possibilities. By the end of the workshop, I felt confident in her abilities, and I’d trust Isobel to design my home interiors without hesitation.”

  • "What a great experience! Isobel responded quickly and positively and based on our initial exchanges I knew she was knowledgeable and creative and that I would enjoy working with her. During our consultation Isobel asked heaps of questions and listened, and only then, started making suggestions. She helped create a beautiful plan for the entire area that flows from one room to the next. I enjoyed working with Isobel and can definitely recommend her."
