No two homes or clients need quite the same thing.
Some clients come to us at the very beginning, needing help to understand what their house could become. Others want us alongside them throughout a major renovation or new build. And sometimes the architecture is already resolved and it’s the interiors themselves that need bringing together.
We offer three levels of service, allowing us to meet you at the point where you need us.

Services
For clients at the beginning of a renovation, extension or whole-house project who need clarity before committing to the next stage.
Vision & Direction allows us to step back and look at the project as a whole: how you want to live, how the house could work better, what should take priority and where your budget is best spent.
We’ll explore the spatial possibilities, establish an overall creative direction and help you understand the likely scope of the project. We can also advise on the wider team you may need around you, from architects and contractors to quantity surveyors and structural engineers.
The result is a clear direction for your home and a much better understanding of what should happen next.

Vision & Direction
01
Our most comprehensive service, for clients undertaking significant renovations, extensions and new-build homes.
We work alongside you from the early thinking through design development, technical detailing and construction, right through to furniture, lighting, fabrics and the final layers of the home.
Our role sits naturally between the creative and technical sides of a project. We work closely with your architect, contractor and wider professional team so that decisions about layouts, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, joinery, finishes and furniture are considered together rather than in isolation.
Throughout, we remain closely involved — helping to solve problems, make decisions and keep the original vision for the house intact as the project develops.

Kitchens, bathrooms and bespoke joinery

For homes where the architectural work is already complete (or simply isn’t required) but the rooms themselves need bringing together. This service also works particularly well for holiday and second homes.
We create a complete decorative scheme around the way you live and the things you already own, combining new and antique furniture, lighting, fabrics, rugs, window treatments, artwork and accessories.
The aim isn’t for your home to look “designed”. It should feel collected, considered and yours.

KIND WORDS
Client
“If you’re nervous about hiring a designer, look no further. LGI creates such an inviting and collaborative atmosphere. We especially loved seeing our home come to life through their drawings and tactile material boards. It’s rare to find a team that balances creative flair with such clear communication.”
We believe conversations about budget should happen early.
Beautiful ideas still have to work in the real world, so we encourage open conversations about investment from the beginning of a project.
Where appropriate, we’ll work alongside your contractor or quantity surveyor to understand likely costs, helping you decide where to invest, where to simplify and whether the scope of the project feels right before too much design work has taken place.
This isn’t about designing down to a budget. It’s about making informed decisions with your eyes open.
Good design starts with good decisions
Budget and feasibility
For renovations, extensions and new-build projects, we ideally become involved alongside your architect rather than once the architectural plans are complete.
Bringing interior design thinking into the project early allows us to consider how the house will actually be lived in from the beginning.
Layouts, furniture, kitchens, lighting, bathrooms and joinery can then inform the architecture rather than having to be fitted around decisions that have already been made.
If you’re right at the beginning and aren’t sure who you need yet, that’s absolutely fine. This is exactly where our Vision & Direction service can help.
Earlier than you might think.

“In particular, their rich knowledge and background in architecture was a massive benefit, helping us rethink the space and improving the flow from that originally conceived; vital interventions, given the relatively modest scale of our project.”
