The brief

The brief: what they had and what they needed

Before

What they had

  1. A brand built on story, connection and collaboration. Lovely words. Hard to put on a screen.
  2. Beautiful residential projects, and two different services, Interior Decoration and Interior Scout, that needed telling apart.
  3. High-end work from two very down-to-earth designers.

After

What they needed

  1. A website as considered as their rooms. Calm, but never boring.
  2. Clear paths to the studio, the services and the work, so nobody has to hunt.
  3. Room for the photos to do the talking. Interior designers can spot a template from across the room, so: no template.

Story first then atmosphere

Challenge and solution

Challenge and solution

TheChallenge

Make high-end feel friendly.

Interior design can feel intimidating. Nobody wants to email a studio and wonder if they can afford the cushions. The site had to say expert without saying expensive, and explain Interior Decoration and Interior Scout without turning into a price list.

TheSolution

Big photos. Calm words. Clear paths.

Large imagery, restrained type and plenty of white space give it the feel of a magazine. Underneath, it’s all business: clear routes to the studio story, projects, services, testimonials and contact.

Design notes

The thinking behind the pages

  1. 01

    Story first

    The homepage opens with their belief that every good design starts with a great story. Feelings first, services second.

  2. 02

    No guessing

    Decoration, sourcing, styling and shopping help each get their own space, so visitors know what’s on offer and where to click next.

  3. 03

    Work with context

    Project pages like Parsley Bay get room for the brief, the scope and the photography credits. The work looks substantial because it is.

  4. 04

    Calm, not boring

    Type, spacing and a little understated movement do the work. No heavy page-builder effects, nothing spinning.
