When people see a finished interior, they naturally notice what is there. The furniture. The lighting. The materials. The colours. The joinery. All the things that can be seen, touched and photographed. As a designer, @pavlina_campbell , Founder of Pinterior Space, often finds herself thinking about something else entirely: all the things that are no longer there.

By the time a project is finished, much of the work that shaped it has disappeared. And perhaps that is exactly as it should be.

Good design often feels obvious once you see it. The room feels balanced. You move through it naturally. The proportions feel right. Nothing seems to be trying too hard. But achieving that simplicity can be surprisingly complicated.

Cambridge-based interior design studio @styled_home_design has completed the refurbishment of The Cricketers, a much-loved pub and Thai restaurant on Melbourne Place in central Cambridge. The project reimagines the venue as two complementary spaces, a traditional English pub at the front and an atmospheric, restaurant-led dining room at the rear, all delivered on a modest budget.

Known locally for serving authentic Thai food within a traditional pub setting, The Cricketers recently changed ownership. The new team wanted to build on the venue’s strong reputation, but after more than a decade without significant investment, the interiors had become dated and disconnected. The owners needed a clearer identity and an environment that worked harder commercially.

The studio creates refined, personal interiors for private homes and selected commercial spaces, balancing timeless elegance with comfort and practicality. Every project begins with listening to how clients live and what they love, then shaping spaces through thoughtful layouts, bespoke joinery, considered lighting and a curated palette of materials, finishes and furniture. Working closely with trusted craftspeople and European suppliers, Nisi Maison guides each project from concept through to procurement, installation and styling, delivering crafted spaces that feel calm, characterful and made to last.

Working alongside Absolute Architecture, the brief for Hillview House was to modernise a traditional country home and connect it seamlessly with a striking new extension. @piainteriordesign clients wanted a home that felt contemporary and cool, but still belonged in its rural setting – balancing clean lines and bespoke detailing with natural materials, rich colour and a softer, more rustic sensibility.

As a busy family home, practicality was just as important as aesthetics. Materials needed to be hard-wearing and forgiving, storage was carefully integrated throughout, and the overall scheme needed to feel timeless enough to evolve as the family grows. The result is a colourful, characterful home where contemporary interventions sit comfortably alongside subtle references to traditional country-house design.

The most interesting technology projects today are not really about making screens more visible. They are about allowing them to disappear altogether. While some of these solutions have been with us for a while, they are sometimes forgotten and client awareness remains surprisingly low.

At @wakefieldssmarthome , they increasingly look at television design in the same way an interior designer might look at lighting, joinery or artwork: as something that should work with the room rather than dominate it.

Enjy Fouad, Founder & Principal Designer at @enviousdesigninc , has given her insights into the industry.

Envious Design began in home staging and property styling and has since evolved into custom residential interiors, including new builds, renovations and fully managed turnkey furnishing and move-in projects. Growing up in Cairo, surrounded by textiles, furniture, architecture and a culture of working directly with artisans, shaped Enjy’s appreciation for craftsmanship. Her travels throughout Europe and life in Vancouver have further shaped her design perspective, grounded in proportion, materiality and natural surroundings.

@khaya_studio has designed an elevated and sophisticated family home that feels both cohesive and distinctly individual.

The previously dark and enclosed living and dining area now feels considerably more spacious and airy, while the carefully considered palette, bespoke cabinetry, furniture and layered textures create a sense of warmth and depth. Throughout the ground floor, each room has its own identity while flowing effortlessly into the next.
