Whatever your joys and passions we can bring them to life through a fully bespoke design, and exceptional level of service resulting in beautiful meaningful spaces that are all about YOU.

Every aspect of your project will be planned and installed to the highest standards, letting you simply live your life while we take care of everything.
Our Clients live and travel all over the world, and so we are used to sourcing items globally, whether in Europe, New York, Miami or the U.K. We can fulfil your desire for the uniquely beautiful and highly crafted.
We also love re-purposing your existing items that are of a sentimental value; providing an important element of sustainability and the depth of character that makes the space unique. We also provide an art curation service to both source new pieces and re-purpose old works for our Clients.
We provided a comprehensive interior design service for our developer client on nine apartments in this high-end refurbishment project in collaboration with Reading + West Architects. The original property was a Victorian handbag factory that had been fully stripped out, leaving few original internal features. Three additional stories were added to the building, and the architectural design reinstated the original feature brickwork and high-quality Crittall windows.

"We recently completed a multi-unit residential project with Bridget, and she has also given design input on several office refurbishments. The residential project required a comprehensive, turn-key solution, encompassing everything from the base fit-out and furniture to art selection and staging.
Bridget handled it all with a high level of professionalism and an impressive ability to manage complexity, including effectively coordinating with contractors on-site.
Her calm approach instils confidence, yet she keeps the projects moving forward efficiently, ensuring deadlines are met without compromising quality. Given her skill set and dedication, we would gladly work with her again on future projects."
"I've had the pleasure of working with Bridget on multiple projects, including an overseas project and a challenging renovation of a listed building that required careful liaison with planning officers.
Her refined taste and excellent eye for design are evident in her ability to select materials, textures and colours, as well as being reflected in bespoke joinery items she has designed, which have helped elevate each project.
Bridget is not only creative and resourceful in her approach but also knowledgeable and easy to work with – a good listener and client-focused."
"We are now on our fourth project with Bridget and each experience has been nothing short of amazing. On two of those projects Bridget has had to deal with a listed building and each time has managed to design something sympathetic to the character but with the edge we want. Crucially she has kept the regulators happy at all times while remaining calm and focused, not easy!!
Bridget captures our personal taste perfectly and we feel so comfortable with all she recommends along with her exemplary attention to detail. Thank you for creating the most beautiful homes for us."

Spend a gorgeous sunny day with Bridget Reading in Notting Hill. The charm of this eclectic London neighbourhood is hard to ignore from the moment you step onto Portobello Road. My day starts with a leisurely stroll, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.
My first stop is The Cloth Shop on Portobello Road. This quaint boutique exudes an old-world charm, with its array of fabrics and textiles displayed in neat rows. The rich patterns and textures invite you to touch and imagine the possibilities. I spend some time perusing the high-quality materials, envisioning the bespoke creations that could emerge from these colourful cloths...
