01 The Studio London · Est. 2011

A studio that reads a room before it draws one.

We work the way a good editor works: choosing what stays, what goes, and what one detail the whole room turns on.

Aldous & Frith is a small London interior studio. We take a space from first conversation to final styling on a single programme, holding the concept, the drawings, the trades and the procurement ourselves so the standard never slips between hands.

We design from the building outward, its proportion, its light, the way you actually move through it, and we keep the palette quiet so the materials and the room can speak. The result is meant to feel resolved rather than assembled.

02 A Single Hand How the studio is held

One studio holds the whole arc of a room, so the idea that was drawn is the room that gets built.

04 The Method How a room is made

Read, draw, resolve. The rest is care.

We keep the working method deliberately plain. There is no mystery to a well-made room, only a sequence held by one team and a refusal to hand the standard off halfway.

A

Read the room and the brief

We begin at your table. We measure and survey the space, listen to how you live or trade in it, and agree the budget and the brief before a single line is drawn.

  • Consultation
  • Survey & measure
  • Brief sign-off
B

Draw the whole scheme

One coherent direction, drawn in full: layout, joinery, lighting, finishes and the furniture schedule. Every decision is costed and documented, so nothing surprises you on site or on the invoice.

  • Concept & layout
  • Technical drawings
  • Finishes & FF&E
C

Resolve it on site

We procure, sequence and install under our own direction, then dress and hand over. You take back a room that is genuinely finished, down to the last object on the shelf.

  • Procurement
  • Install & snag
  • Styling & handover
05 Index What we take on

Three ways the studio is usually brought in.

We take on a small number of projects each year, so each one keeps the whole studio's attention from the first conversation to the last detail.

In Their Words
They held the whole thing. We chose what we cared about and left the rest to the studio, and the house came back to us finished, not a snag in sight.

Tell us about the space.

The best place to begin is a conversation about the room, where it is, and roughly when you would like to start.
