With Parsonage handed over, the project reflection has been an incredible experience, to see a bungalow flattened and a stunning 4-bedroom showcase, forever home built. A true labour of love for everyone involved, it is a true statement of hard work and effective collaboration between designers, contractors, and of course, an incredible client to work with.

From Bristol and Cheltenham to Woking and Guildford, we’ve been designing, dressing, staging and renovating across multiple projects this month, and it’s been a great month for the whole team!

We’ve received six instructions this month for design, renovation and staging projects throughout Surrey and South London, and we can’t wait to get started on them all.

We are delighted to have completed the design and installation for the four apartment development in Cheltenham for Vast. Launching on the market next week, we're delighted to see our designs come to life with beautiful herringbone tiled bathrooms, brushed brass hardware, two-tone wood effect kitchens and stunning LVT flooring.

We are thrilled to have completed the dressing, photography and handover for the beautiful show home for a stunning development in Reading. Pairing colour with serene spaces, the apartment feels bright, spacious and homely, perfect for the viewings ahead. Case study coming soon!

A busy month, March has been a mixture of design, renovating and project managing for the SHI team! Project Parsonage is taking shape so quickly, and we’re well on our way with the project cycle, with bespoke furniture starting in April. We’re also delighted to have been awarded multiple instructions this week alone!

After a well-considered process, the penthouse apartment for our Chertsey development was designed and renovated to a high specification and is now complete. Designing a full furniture package for the staging and dressing of the apartment, and subsequent photography, the difference is incredible, and the property flew off the market!

February has seen us designing for such a range of design and renovation projects! With Project Parsonage really gearing up and our second fix team now on site, and we’re making great progress through our program of works already.

The first month of the year has been a whirlwind! We’re delighted to have won six new projects this month for 2024, and look forward to commencing our second fix works at Project Parsonage in a few weeks.

We’re delighted to announce several new instructions in January for projects over the coming months, and we can’t wait to share more about each as we progress through!

This weekend we visited the breath-taking Aynho Park, which has been transformed by former owners James and Sophie Perkins, and current owners RH Interiors (Restoration Hardware). The entire site, situated in acres of incredible woodland, with its own herd of White Hart deer.

We are delighted to have completed the installation and photography for our stunning art deco-inspired bedroom project for our long-term client in Motts Hill. With the breath-taking bespoke vanity handles made in-house by my partner Ben, and an array of wonderful suppliers coming together to bring this design to life, the Motts Hill master bedroom suite is a true one-of-a-kind project.

2023 has been a whirlwind of a year, and I am personally grateful for every project we’ve had the pleasure of working on throughout the last twelve months. We’ve seen single room projects in Guildford, Epsom, Tadworth and Reigate, to full-house projects in Englefield Green, Weybridge and Woking, and each one has been a pleasure to design and work on with our lovely clients.

We’d like to wish all of our lovely clients, our wonderful suppliers and hard-working tradesmen and tradeswomen a very Merry Christmas. I cannot be more thankful for the support, the love and the custom from every person that has helped us grow so quickly over the last three years. I have some exciting news to share in January, with a fresh take on our company brand as well as Chris joining the team full time…!

With our Chertsey project taking shape very quickly, we held a successful site day for all trades to survey and measure up, ahead of the scoped works and design finalisations. In addition, three new instructions this month carry us through and into 2024, with bookings already made for Q1 and Q2 next year!

We’re delighted to have been awarded the contract to design and renovate the apartments of a beautiful riverside apartment block in Chertsey. We can’t wait to share more on this project in the coming weeks and months as it develops!

Various projects are at very exciting stages throughout this month, and we can’t wait to see them come to fruition. Project Kinnersley Manor commenced and the physical works are now underway, with panelling and decorating booked throughout November. A recent instruction for Project Harbourfield has it’s design works well underway, and we can’t wait to share the designs!

Work is ramping up at all of our projects as we head towards completion. Project Parsonage is in the rapid stages of build, and so we’re prepping the final designs and plans for the continuation of the build. Project Kinnersley Manor will be commencing works in just a few weeks, so the final designs are being drawn up and agreed; we can’t wait to see this incredible transformation!

Work is in full swing at our Woodham project, whilst we undertaking design work on a variety of new projects including Elmside, Lingfield, Merrow and Parsonage. Alongside this, we are still managing our lovely Rugosa project which is drawing nearer to completion.

When it comes to home décor, few elements are as versatile and functional as shelves. Not only do they provide valuable storage and organisation solutions, but they also offer an excellent opportunity to showcase your personal style and creativity.

With various projects underway, July has been a busy month for the SHI team. Working across an array of design and renovation projects, we’re delighted to have been awarded three projects this month too; from a 14th century manor house to a stunning architect-designed self-build home.
