Restoring Soul to the Spaces you Live in.
Our Approach
We don't design showrooms. We design homes that restore you. Every space we create is rooted in how you actually live — the morning coffee rituals, the Sunday sprawl, the chaos of family life. We layer eclectic finds with considered comfort, blending colour psychology, natural materials and a touch of the unexpected to create interiors that heal, energise and evolve with you. No trends for trends' sake. No precious rooms you're afraid to touch. Just soulful, collected spaces that feel unmistakably yours.
Based in Henley-on-Thames but we cover far and wide.
Client Reviews
Francesca has an innate empathy for the design and space she is helping you create. When a lot is going on and it's easy to get lost in it, you need that voice that helps you stand back and see what's important or to guide you on what's best for you. It's essentially design therapy and she's really good at it.

Francesca helped us decorate our 60s townhouse house in Henley and we couldn’t be happier. Her managing of every stage of the process was as smooth and efficient as possible - it really took the stress out of the job. We especially appreciate that she really understood the brief and our aesthetic while also pushing us to try things we couldn’t have thought of ourselves. The space still feels like ours - but better - and visitors now always remark on how beautiful the house feels. Thanks, Studio Ember!
Kathryn, Henley-on-Thames
Our house is a new build and we really struggled to give it any character... until Chess arrived! She completely opened up our eyes to how we could make our new and modern living room get some personality. She introduced different textures, worked with our select few, preferred colours and she even managed to make it all work around my Grandma's old armchair which previously stood out like a sore thumb.
