Our Directory is a constantly updated A to Z of the country’s best people to make your home with, from architects to interior designers, furniture retailers to lighting experts. Whether you’re looking to design, build or furnish your space, our Directory should be your starting point. Check out these five new design studios that have just been added.

AU Bespoke
The inimitable style of interior stylist Anna McDougal sees her curate a covetable collection of vintage, mid-century and contemporary pieces, which are defined by their materiality, timeless forms and sculptural qualities. The same aesthetic sensibility plays out in Anna’s Cambridgeshire home and show room, which is currently for sale via yours truly.

Studio Iro
Lucy Currell, founder of Studio Iro, channels her background in antiques, contemporary art and modernist furniture into elegant, considered and contemporary-feeling interiors that fuse modern palettes, art and textiles with modish 20th-century furniture like Pierre Jeanneret chairs and AJ lamps.

Stonewood Design
Bath-based architecture practice Stonewood Design are just under ten years old and, in that time, have put out some ambitious and accomplished projects, our favourite being ‘Myrtle Cottage Studio’, a seamlessly-integrated cabin set into woodland, and the recipient of a RIBA National Award in 2015.

Born out of a construction firm, the studio are particularly well-versed in delivering detail-orientated designs that are grounded in materials and craft.

Sustainable Kitchens
Want a design-led, material-rich and robust kitchen that is sustainable and eco-conscious to boot? Sustainable Kitchens (the clue being in the name) offers just that, using only sustainably-sourced materials, such as PEFC-certified American White Oak and natural paint from Farrow & Ball with low VOC levels. All waste is recycled; trees are planted to offset emissions and no tropical hardwoods are used – it’s a thumbs up from us.

Studio Fortnum
There’s a sense of calmness and understated luxury that comes with the projects this south-east London studio puts their name to, which covers everything from interiors, architecture, creative direction, styling and art consultancy.
