Not every image belongs in your home. The key is knowing what to borrow — and what to leave behind.

That serene Japandi living room? It’s probably in a Californian new-build with soaring ceilings and perfect light. Your Victorian terrace in South London? Different story. We help you translate the feeling of an image into something that works for your space instead of a disjointed space that lacks a cohesive design thread.

Pins rarely come with price tags. That “simple” kitchen might involve bespoke joinery, imported stone, and a lighting plan that costs more than your appliances. We help you understand what’s achievable within your budget — and where to invest for lasting impact.

Open shelving looks beautiful — until you’re juggling kids, clutter, and the school run. We design for how you actually live, not just how you want your home to look.

Inspiration is powerful — but without context, it can lead to costly missteps. At Studio JKL, we help clients move from “I love this” to “This works for me,” using design thinking and technical expertise to guide every decision.

Before choosing colours or tiles, we assess layout, flow, and natural light. A well-planned space makes styling effortless — and prevents regrets like blocked sightlines or awkward furniture placement.

Modern living is fluid. We design spaces that support multitasking — from open-plan kitchens with hidden storage to living rooms that double as play areas or work nooks. Zoning with lighting, rugs, and joinery creates clarity without walls.

That Pinterest-perfect bathroom with no towel rail or storage? It looks great in photos, but not in practice. We ask the right questions: Where do your toiletries go? How do you move through the space? Design should anticipate your daily routines.

A beautiful room can fall flat with poor lighting. We layer ambient, task, and accent lighting to create mood and function — and we always plan electricals early to avoid costly rewiring later.

Your home should feel distinctly yours — not like a copy of someone else’s. That’s where thoughtful design becomes transformative.

Instead of replicating a room, we help clients identify what they feel drawn to — calm, warmth, contrast — and build a palette and material story around that.

Custom joinery isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about making your space work harder. Built-in storage, tailored wardrobes, and integrated desks reflect how your family actually lives.

We guide clients toward enduring choices for big-ticket items — flooring, cabinetry, layout — and encourage personality through art, textiles, and colour. This keeps your home fresh without constant overhauls.

We consider how your needs might evolve — growing children, hybrid work, ageing in place — and future-proof layouts accordingly. A well-designed home adapts with you.
