I've worked with Lisa for six years and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for interior design advice. She simply gets it. She knows my style, she knows what I love, and she knows what works. We can walk into any furniture showroom and while I'll spend an hour deliberating, Lisa sees the answer within minutes. Her eye is extraordinary. I trust her implicitly, and she's become a wonderful friend too.

Lisa redesigned our entire upstairs while we were away and we came home to a completely transformed space. Every detail had been handled seamlessly, with no stress on our part whatsoever. It was genuinely a dream come true. We couldn't be more grateful to Lisa and her wonderful team.

Doing a full home renovation can be overwhelming at times. I can't even change a lightbulb, so having to make really important decisions can be scary because I feel totally out of my depth. Not only does Lisa have a great eye, she's also super knowledgeable and has helped us no end. Not just aesthetically, but on a practical level too. We adore our home and what Lisa has done.

Real Homes

Whether it's a full renovation or a single-room transformation, Lisa begins every project with a conversation and finishes with a space that feels entirely yours. Take a look at some of the homes she has designed. The studio also offers online design services, wherever you live.

Behind the Studio

Interior designer Lisa Hensby seated on a velvet sofa

“Everyone deserves to live in a home they love, no matter the budget.”

Lisa is self-taught, which means she learned this trade on site and on real projects rather than in a classroom. She shares what she knows: the budgets, the decisions, what really goes on behind the plasterboard. And because she stays with every project from first sketch to final styling, working with trusted trades who know how she works, the finished home stays true to the design.
