Luxury Interior Design Studio - London

Melissa Read, Founder & Qualified Interior Designer

Our interior design studio began with a simple belief: that homes should be shaped around the people who live in them — not the other way around.

We create truly bespoke interiors, moving away from formulaic design to craft spaces that feel intuitive, layered and deeply personal.

As interior designers, we see each project as an act of consideration — how a client lives, what brings them ease, and how their home can elevate their everyday life. Our work is rooted in collaboration and trust. Every home is shaped through conversation and a shared vision.

Working from our London interior design studio, we collaborate with private clients and property developers across the UK, the Channel Islands and further afield.

We approach each project with the same level of attention we would give our own homes. Creating a place where life truly unfolds — where you feel grounded, inspired, and fully yourself. It’s why this work matters, and why our design studio exists.

Join Our Design Journey

There’s something about warm neutrals with a masculine palette that just works every single time ✨ This Shoreditch project sits in that sweet spot between refined and relaxed, and the client approved! #interiordesigner #livingroom #interiorde
From wasted space → client’s dream dining area✨ This period home had a dining space that just wasn’t working. So, we designed a bespoke banquette with hidden storage-maximising space without compromising on style. #designedbyburntwo
What’s your interior design style? A home should be more than beautiful, it should feel like you 🤍 For some, that’s soft tones that bring calm. For others, it’s rich textures that inspire, or details that feel safe and familiar.
Swipe to see how one space is shaped by countless design choices. Nothing is random—every finish, placement, and composition is chosen with purpose✨ #DesignedByBurntwood #interiordesignerlondon #interiordesigner #designdetails #diningroomd

Our studio is known for creating thoughtful, quietly luxurious interiors that feel deeply connected to both place and people. As a trusted interior designer in London, we work across period homes and contemporary new build properties, designing spaces that are refined, functional and entirely bespoke to our clients.

Every project begins with careful listening. Rather than imposing a house style, we develop interiors that respond to the architecture of the space and the way our clients live. From spatial planning and bespoke joinery to furniture, finishes and final styling, each element is considered in detail and resolved as part of a cohesive whole.

Attention to craftsmanship and longevity sits at the heart of our design work. As a recommended interior designer, our London clients return and refer our design services. We collaborate closely with skilled makers and specialists to deliver dream homes that feel calm, considered and timeless.

  • Embarking on an interior design journey can be an exciting venture, but understanding the financial aspects is crucial.

    The complexity and scale of your project play a significant role in determining the design fee.

    Some designers prefer a percentage-based fee structure, typically ranging from 10% to 30% of the total project cost. This method aligns their compensation with the project's scale.

    Other designers will work on an hourly rate based on the project duration.

    At Studio Burntwood we offer a fixed design fee for the entire project. This approach allows our clients to have total clarity on costs from the outset, regardless of project duration.

  • To initiate the interior design project, we commence by meticulously outlining distinct goals and preferences. These encompass crucial aspects like functionality, aesthetic styles, timeline, and budget. As an initial step, we provide clients with a comprehensive design questionnaire, delving into their preferences and vision.

    Our process involves an on-site visit, where key measurements are taken, detailed notes are recorded, and photographs are captured for future reference, ensuring a thorough understanding of the space.

  • Booking a design consultation is simple.

    • Reach Out to Us
