“What I love the most, is that moment in a project, when I see the spark in the clients’ eyes. Suddenly they see their space differently. They see how the key design elements of colours, materials and light come together into a harmonious scheme that reflect them and their everyday life.” 

Emilie Wiseman - Founder and Creative Director
 

At Studio Alcove, we pride ourselves on making interior design accessible and delivering projects on time and budget. We believe that great design will make your home more beautiful and create a greater sense of enjoyment and wellbeing.

After 15 years commissioning artistic productions and live events, I fancied a change in my life. As much as I loved creating immersive and ephemeral experiences, I wanted to focus on creating incredible yet more lasting environments.  I was always praised for the interiors I created for myself and for my sharp creative eye so I decided to take the plunge and retrained with The Interior Design Institute, specialising in residential interiors. 

I have been growing my own Interior Design Studio ever since and have loved every project we have been working on so far. I love unlocking the potential of spaces, be they small or large and helping clients realise their vision. We put listening at the core of our design practice and understanding your needs is as crucial as understanding your taste and preferences. This way we can create rooms that truly suit your lifestyle and inject your personality into each design plan. We can help you design an entire house, update your kitchen, elevate your lounge or just breathe life into that forgotten corner of your house.

 

Testimonials

Our designs have helped clients go far beyond what they thought was achievable within the confines of their home. Through our work, we brought light, character and personality into their interiors. We inspired them to take their design ambitions further, helped them find that colour palette that would bring a design scheme together or inject life into a bland space.

  • Jamie and Hannah Clark, London - UK

    “We wanted to update the halls and bedrooms of our Victorian house in London, which were looking tired, and, at the same time, bring the overall decorative scheme in line with the kitchen and sitting room, both of which we had re-designed or decorated. Studio Alcove did an amazing job of looking at the overall flow of colors and textures through the home, and suggesting how we could tie it all together. I had some colours in mind, but working with Emilie gave us real confidence and expanded our vision far beyond our initial ideas. The presentation of the suggested palette was beautifully laid out, and included plenty of detail for us to communicate with contractors. Overall the whole experience of working with Studio Alcove was a joy from start to finish, and we are thrilled with the results.”

  • Caroline Touret, Saintes - France

    “We worked with Studio Alcove following a friend's recommendation. We wanted to create a new bedroom for our son in an attic space with quite a few constraints: low ceiling height, lack of daylight, narrow room. Emilie knew how to rethink the space and took into account our taste, objects and toys important to our boy, without forgetting our budget! We particularly appreciated the digital format presentation of the project which includes links to shop the decorative elements. We are thinking of redecorating our office and will happily get back in touch with Studio Alcove for this project.”

  • Magdalena et Patrick Rolland, Nantes - France

    “We were fully satisfied with the design proposed by Studio Alcove. Together with Emilie, we reconfigured our living space of approximately 60m2. She did excellent work in terms of layout and design (furniture, decoration, color palette) and stayed within our budget. Emilie was very available and her support throughout the work was extremely beneficial. We are thinking of calling on Studio Alcove again for a bathroom project.”

  • Sophie and Jonathan Hodson, Yorkshire - UK

    “Working with Studio Alcove has been a great experience. Having stalled and stalled again on our garden room project, we were incapable of making the necessary decisions and pinning down our ideas to move it to a conclusion. As soon as Emilie was involved, she helped us focus on the purpose and function of the space and within 4 weeks, we had a full design concept that was clever, functional and beautiful, optimising the use of what is a tricky space. The tools she used to help us visualise the space helped enormously and it was such a relief to have someone to work with on all the aspects: structure, layout, furniture, soft furnishings, lighting, electrics, heating, she covered it all. Emilie provided the rocket fuel to spur us on to complete the project which had hung around our necks for too many years! We love it and it has brought a whole new dimension to our home life”
