Meet the design conversation

You may know exactly what you want, or only how you would like a space to feel. Led by Lisa Melvin, our team listens, explores the possibilities with you and works through the details that turn an idea into a room you can use and enjoy. You can come to us for a product, a specification or a complete design brief.

A relationship that develops

Personal service means having a direct contact who knows your name, remembers the decisions and understands what matters to you. We want you to feel comfortable picking up the phone, asking a question or bringing us an idea that is a little out of the ordinary. Over the years, many clients have become friends and returned as their homes, families and businesses have evolved. Our Lymington story is one example of that continuing relationship.

Quality first. Your budget, thoughtfully spent.

We care about how a product is made, how it performs and how it will be lived with. We use our research and brand relationships to help your budget work hard, explaining the differences between options and protecting the qualities that matter to your brief.

Curiosity has always been part of the job.

Lisa has always enjoyed seeking out new ideas, asking questions and understanding the thinking behind a product. That research brings fresh possibilities into our projects: an unexpected material, a clever mechanism or a detail you might never have known to ask for. If you enjoy exploring what a space could become, we would love to explore it with you.

Designing interiors since 1999

We began in 1999. In 2026, that represents 27 years of kitchen, bathroom and interior design; 2027 marks 28 years. Our experience continues to evolve with the way our clients live.

Kitchen design through the years.

From softly curved islands to bold material combinations, this collection looks back at kitchens we have designed over the years. It is a record of changing styles, individual homes and the details that make each project personal.
