A small studio for rooms that last. Four designers and a workshop table in Shoreditch, about ten projects a year.

We started with one flat and a sample board

Ines started Plinth in 2015 after ten years designing hotel interiors, where every decision was made for a stranger. She wanted to work for the people who would actually live in the rooms.

The first project was a one-bedroom flat in Hackney. The sample board from that job still hangs in the studio, and we still start every project the same way: real materials, side by side, in the client’s own light.

The people who will design your rooms

Four designers, one workshop table. The person who draws your rooms is the person who visits site.

What we hold to

Fewer, better things

We would rather you buy one good chair than four cheap ones. Most of our rooms have less in them than they started with.

Real materials

Stone, wood, lime and linen. They cost more on day one and less over twenty years.

One fee, written down

You know what we cost before we start, and our invoices sit next to the trades’ so you can see everything.

Three reasons clients come back

A living room with floor-to-ceiling glass, a long white sofa and a valley view

A reading chair in an arched window bay with moss green walls

1designer per project

The person who draws your rooms is the one who visits the site every week. No hand-offs.

£0markup on furniture

Makers and suppliers invoice you at cost, next to our fee, which is written down before we start.

10projects a year

We turn down the rest, so every house gets the time it needs.

How a project runs

Four stages, one fee agreed up front, and a weekly note so you always know where things are.

Week 1
Visit
We walk the rooms with you, measure everything and talk about how you live and what you can spend. Two hours, £250, taken off the fee if you go ahead.
Weeks 2 to 6
Concept
Plans, a sample board and a written budget you can hold us to. Nothing is ordered until you sign it off.
Weeks 6 to 12
Drawings
Joinery, lighting and finishes drawn for the builders, so nothing is guessed on site.
Month 4 onwards
Install
We run the trades and deliveries, then style every room before you move back in.
