From Georgian Bath to London & Manchester Interiors
Eleanor’s passion for interior design started early. Growing up in Bath, surrounded by Georgian and Victorian architecture, she was fascinated by how spaces told stories. It wasn’t just about pretty rooms — it was about understanding why buildings worked the way they did, and how people could live better inside them.
She studied Interior Design at Central Saint Martins in London, then spent five years working with heritage conservation architects in Bristol. That’s where she learned the real complexities of period properties — the quirks of original plasterwork, how to restore features authentically, and why you can’t just slap modern finishes on a 150-year-old house and expect it to work. It taught her something crucial: respecting a building’s history makes better design, not worse.
When she transitioned into residential interior design, that background proved invaluable. She wasn’t just designing pretty rooms — she was solving real problems. How do you create an open-plan kitchen in a Victorian terrace without destroying the character? How do you maximize a 400-square-foot Manchester flat without it feeling cramped? These aren’t abstract questions. They’re what every homeowner faces.
Over the past 14 years, Eleanor’s worked with over 200 homeowners across the UK, with particular focus on London and Manchester properties. She’s completed her postgraduate certification in Heritage Property Conservation at the University of Manchester, bringing even more depth to her work. Her approach is straightforward: honour the building’s bones, understand how people actually live, and create spaces that feel both authentic and functional.
