About ig. design & interiors

‘ig. design & interiors’ is a Hertfordshire-based residential interior design studio specialising in whole-home renovations, extensions and lighting-led interior design.

We work with discerning homeowners who value careful planning, clear decision-making and design that stands the test of time — guiding them through complex projects with clarity, confidence and care.

Our studio is known for creating calm, cohesive homes that feel considered rather than over-designed, and for supporting clients through what can otherwise be an overwhelming process.

Our Philosophy

We believe that truly successful interiors are not created through decoration alone.

They are shaped by:

  • Understanding how a home will be lived in
  • Making informed decisions early
  • Coordinating layout, lighting and detailing from the outset
  • Balancing beauty with function and longevity

Our approach is design-led, not trend-driven.
We focus on timeless aesthetics, layered neutrals and thoughtful detailing — creating homes that feel comfortable, personal and enduring.

Interior Design with Lighting at Its Core

Lighting plays a fundamental role in how a home functions and feels.

At ‘ig. design & interiors’, lighting design is not treated as an afterthought. It is considered early and integrated into layouts, ceilings, joinery and architectural features — ensuring spaces feel balanced, warm and adaptable throughout the day and evening.

This lighting-led approach allows us to design homes that feel quietly sophisticated and comfortable to live in, rather than overly lit or visually flat.

Our Experience & Recognition

The studio has been recognised with multiple Houzz Service Awards and industry accolades for its client-focused approach and attention to detail.

More importantly, much of our work comes through recommendations and returning clients — a reflection of the trust we build and the long-term value we place on each project.
