Julia Downs Studio stands apart for its ability to blend a European modern aesthetic with timeless elegance, creating interiors that are both refined and deeply inviting. With a background rooted in fine art, music, and craftsmanship, Julia brings an artistic sensibility and technical precision that few designers can match. Every project balances sophistication with functionality, resulting in spaces that are not only visually striking but also perfectly attuned to the way clients live and work.

Working with an interior designer saves time, reduces stress, and helps you avoid costly mistakes. We transform your ideas into a cohesive, well-planned space - removing the guesswork and ensuring every detail works in harmony. Whether designing a home or a café, our goal is to create environments that are both memorable and inviting, encouraging people to return time and again.

Large retailers tend to prioritise selling products rather than understanding your individual needs. At Julia Downs Studio, we offer independent advice, take the time to understand you and your space, and present thoughtful options to achieve the best result. We approach every project with the same care and attention to detail as if it were our own property.

Every client we’ve worked with has loved their designs. We start by getting to know your style, how the space needs to work, and any challenges you may have - all while respecting your budget. Throughout the process, we communicate our ideas clearly and offer alternative options to make sure the final design feels just right for you.

We recognise that every project is unique, which is why our services are tailored with flexibility in mind. Our design process follows clear stages, aligned with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Plan of Work, to provide structure and clarity throughout your design journey. This staged approach ensures we can support you at every step, while allowing you to choose the level of involvement and guidance that best suits your needs.
