Quiet Luxury Living Room

Lisa Hensby Design & Build Studio unveils a warm, boutique-hotel-inspired space designed to feel effortlessly elevated while staying completely liveable for everyday family life. Anchored by a statement floor-to-ceiling media wall, built around a centred log burner and layered with tactile finishes, the scheme balances calm symmetry with cleverly hidden storage. Reeded walnut-effect cabinetry, Calacatta porcelain and metallic decorative screens bring warmth, richness and depth, while hotel-style zoning carves out distinct areas, including a screen-free reading corner. The end result is a room that feels polished, peaceful and quietly luxurious.

Behind the Studio

Celebrity interior designer Lisa Hensby offers online design services and full renovations, bringing expert style to any home, on any budget.

“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 her studio designs, builds and styles under one roof, one team is accountable from first sketch to final styling.
