Our full interior design service is a comprehensive, end-to-end offering designed to take the stress and uncertainty out of creating a beautifully considered home. We design homes that feel deeply personal, timeless, and full of character, creating spaces that reflect how you live and what matters most to you.
Whether you are embarking on a whole-house renovation, planning a major extension, working alongside an architect from the earliest stages, or refining a new build, we guide you through every step of the journey — from initial briefing, research, space planning, and concept development through to detailed design, procurement, installation, and final styling.
From the earliest ideas through to the final details, we shape considered interiors that flow beautifully and feel effortlessly cohesive.

“Working with San Stae on my loft was an absolute game-changer. They turned a pretty tough space - think exposed brick and concrete floors - into the cosiest spot ever. Aly is super creative, nails every detail, and somehow keeps everything on budget without breaking a sweat. Communication was a breeze, and honestly, she made the whole process fun. If you’re looking to transform your place and have a great time doing it, San Stae is your go-to!”

Not every project requires a full interior design service. Our individual services offer flexible, expert support exactly where you need it — from joinery design and space planning to sourcing and one-off consultations.

A well-designed space begins with a thoughtful layout. We look at how each room flows, how spaces connect, and how light, scale, and proportion shape the way a home feels.
Working alongside your architect or builder, we explore alternative layouts, improve circulation, and optimise how the space functions for everyday life. Using measured surveys, floor plans, and 3D visualisations, we help you clearly understand the possibilities before work begins.
This service is particularly valuable for renovations, extensions, listed properties, and heritage homes where careful planning is essential. -
From kitchens and banquette seating to alcove cabinetry, dressing rooms, and clever hidden storage, we design bespoke joinery that feels seamless, elegant, and entirely tailored to your home.
Every piece is carefully considered for both practicality and beauty, with detailed drawings, material selections, and close collaboration with trusted makers and joiners.
The result is thoughtfully integrated furniture and storage that enhances both the character and functionality of your space. -
We source and curate all furniture, lighting, artwork, textiles, soft furnishings, and accessories to bring warmth, personality, and cohesion to your interiors.
Working with trusted suppliers, bespoke makers, antiques dealers, and specialist artisans, we create a layered and highly considered scheme that feels unique to you.
This service can include sourcing only, or full procurement, delivery, installation, and styling. -
Lighting is one of the most transformative elements within a space.
We create layered lighting schemes that balance function and atmosphere, from architectural lighting and decorative fittings to softer ambient and task lighting.
Each scheme is designed to enhance mood, highlight key features, and ensure the space feels beautiful at every time of day. -
Using advanced 3D modelling and CGIs, we transform early concepts and floor plans into immersive visualisations.
This allows you to fully experience the design before it is built, helping you make confident decisions on layouts, finishes, furniture, and lighting while avoiding costly mistakes. -
Designed for homes coming to market, this service helps your property photograph beautifully and connect emotionally with buyers or tenants.
We style spaces using carefully selected furniture, artwork, soft furnishings, and accessories to create interiors that feel warm, aspirational, and move-in ready.
We also manage photography direction and can offer digital staging as a more cost-effective alternative to physical dressing. -
For beautifully designed homes and completed projects, we offer location styling and property hire management for photography, filming, and events.
We help prepare the space, coordinate with production teams, oversee styling on the day, and ensure the property is presented flawlessly.
This is an excellent way to maximise the long-term value of your property. -
Our relationship doesn’t need to end at completion.
We remain available for seasonal styling updates, sourcing additional pieces, layout refinements, and future room updates as your home evolves.
We also offer a longer-term refresh service, helping clients plan for thoughtful updates in 2–3 years to keep interiors feeling current and beautifully maintained.
“Aly has helped us bring our vision for an extension to life in the virtual world - the next step is the real thing! Aly and Merlin listened to what we were thinking and helped us understand how the light will move in the property, and what materials will work best to our taste. We now feel confident to move to the next phase and bring our dreams to reality! I recommend the San Stae team without any reservation.”

To us, art holds the most transformative power in any room. A single piece can set the tone for an entire interior, often becoming the starting point from which colours, textures, and atmosphere naturally unfold. Our Art Services are designed to make collecting, commissioning, and living with art feel less intimidating and far more inspiring.
Drawing on Aly’s decade of experience curating international touring exhibitions and managing private collections, we define the brief and source unique works through our trusted network of local, national, and international artists, overseeing framing, installation, and long-term collection development.
Whether you are searching for a one-off statement piece, building a private collection, or wanting to commission something unique, we’ll guide you through each process, and each have a great time doing it!

Art has the power to completely transform a space, often becoming the focal point around which an entire interior is built.
We begin by defining a clear artwork brief that reflects your space, taste, and the atmosphere you want to create. From there, we research and shortlist artists, galleries, and individual works that feel aligned with your home and aesthetic.
Where appropriate, we can arrange bespoke commissions and artist studio visits, creating a deeper and more personal connection to the work. We also provide digital mock-ups, framing guidance, sample reviews, budget management, logistics, and professional installation. -
Whether you are buying your first piece, growing an existing collection, or refreshing inherited family works, we help curate art that feels meaningful and beautifully considered.
This can include collection reviews, reframing, rehang plans, new acquisitions, and CAD visuals to help you preview how works will sit within the space before installation.
Our aim is to make the process feel inspiring and approachable, whatever stage you are at.
- Artwork cataloguing
- Artwork documentation -
Alongside sourcing external works, we also create bespoke artworks in-house.
From contemporary abstract pieces to landscape and figurative works, we can design original art tailored specifically to your interiors, palette, and scale requirements.
This service also includes professional framing and mounting to ensure every piece feels fully integrated into the scheme. -
For clients seeking something highly specific and possibly from a particular artist, we manage bespoke commissions directly with selected artists and galleries.
We handle the brief, communication, approvals, and delivery process from initial concept through to installation. -
For clients who enjoy evolving their interiors, we offer art rotation and short-term artwork loans through our gallery network.
This service is ideal for styling homes for sale or rental, seasonal updates, or simply refreshing the atmosphere of a space over time.
“One challenge we faced was finding the perfect artwork, but thanks to Aly’s expertise in art, she not only sourced stunning pieces but also used them as the foundation for designing each room“

Our Process
(Full Interior Design Service)
01. In-Person Design Consultation
Every project begins with an in-person consultation at your home or site. This is our opportunity to understand you, your space, and what you would like it to become. We’ll talk through how you live, your aspirations for the project, practical requirements, budget, timeline, and the atmosphere you want to create. This meeting helps us establish a clear brief and understand the scope of works. Following the consultation, we prepare a tailored fee proposal and outline the recommended next steps.
04. Detailed Design
At this stage, every element of the scheme is fully defined. Finishes, materials, lighting, sanitaryware, ironmongery, joinery details, window treatments, and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment are carefully selected and documented. These are presented through detailed drawings, schedules, material boards, and where appropriate, 3D visualisations and walkthroughs, allowing you to fully experience the design before implementation.
r e s i d e n t i a l p r o j e c t s
02. Design Briefing + Early Concepts
Once appointed, we move into a detailed briefing and early concept phase. This includes measured site surveys, recording key dimensions and architectural features, reviewing existing conditions, and identifying any furniture or elements to be retained. From here, we begin exploring the design direction through mood boards, early layouts, concept sketches, and visual studies. We look at how each space should feel, function, and flow, ensuring the foundations of the design feel right before moving forward.
05. Procurement
Once the design is signed off, we manage the sourcing and procurement of all approved items. This includes furniture, lighting, soft furnishings, bespoke joinery, finishes, artwork, and accessories. We coordinate with trusted suppliers and makers, manage orders and lead times, and oversee delivery schedules to keep the project running smoothly.
03. Design Development
With the concept direction agreed, we develop the design in more detail. This stage includes room layouts, floor plans, elevations, lighting and electrical layouts, and the development of key spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, and bespoke joinery. We refine the practical and aesthetic details, ensuring every room works beautifully and functions seamlessly in day-to-day life.
06. Construction, Installation + Styling
This is where the design comes to life. We work closely with contractors, suppliers, and consultants throughout the build and installation phase, carrying out regular site visits to ensure every detail is delivered as intended. Once the building works are complete, we oversee the installation of furnishings, window treatments, artwork, mirrors, and accessories before styling each room ready for handover. The process concludes with a final walkthrough and professional photography, leaving your home beautifully finished and ready to enjoy.
