Tales of Transformation: A Master Bathroom in Penarth
There’s nothing more satisfying than when a client falls in love with our work through photographs and gets in touch as a result… And that’s exactly what happened with this project – a beautifully renovated and restored Victorian family home in South Wales which, once upon a time, operated as a nursing home! While we […]
Tales of Transformation: A Detached Family Home in South London
Situated in South London, our clients had the good sense to see beyond the (extremely dated) aesthetics when they first viewed this detached Victorian home by the River Thames. Think dark green entrance hall, brown carpets, walls ranging from magenta to bright yellow, and dated fabrics in clashing prints – and you’ll get a good […]
Behind the Scenes on Shoot Days with Paul Craig
Given that we’ve worked with Paul Craig – the photographer who captures all our projects – since the very early days of Wells and Maguire, we thought we’d mix things up this month and share a little behind-the-scenes insight into what really goes into a shoot day. Why? Because, first and foremost, we absolutely love […]
Tales of Transformation: From Plain London Flat to Sophisticated City Apartment
This month, we’re shining the spotlight on a two-bedroom apartment in South East London – a project we completed in 2022 – to bust the myth that interior designers are only for those with giant, detached homes. We’re also hoping to quietly challenge a couple of other misconceptions! Namely: A few years ago, our client […]
Tales of Transformation – A Characterful Country Cottage in Surrey
It’s only natural that, seven years into running our interior design company, we’ve developed tried-and-tested colour palettes that we know from experience will stand the test of time. We know what works, what doesn’t. What we like, what we don’t. And we have a list of go-to suppliers that never fail us. That being said, […]
Tales of Transformation: From Methodist Church to Modern Family Home
After last month’s nostalgic look back at seven incredible years in business, we’re thrilled to be diving into another ‘Tale of Transformation’ – this time, a former Methodist Church turned contemporary home for a wonderful family in South Wales. With major structural changes, full-scale decoration, and carefully considered furnishing, this was one of our most […]
Celebrating 7 Years of Wells and Maguire
As we write this, it’s twenty past four on a weekday afternoon. We’re currently on a site install, munching on ham sandwiches and Hula Hoops to refuel (!) and have been reminiscing about the past few years, following our 7th year in business this month. On the 16th of March, 2018, we (Danielle & Emily) […]
Tales of Transformation: A Living Room in Monmouthshire
We really enjoyed bringing you our first tale of transformation at the start of the year (if you missed it, catch up here). For that reason, we’ve decided to spotlight another successful makeover this month. This time, we’re featuring a stunning living room in an old school building-turned-private home on the South Wales border. Covered […]
Tales of Transformation: A Master Bathroom in Surrey
We don’t know about you, but for us, the start of a new year always sparks conversations about transformation and growth. Whether in our personal lives or within Wells and Maguire, we’re constantly seeking out areas to improve. That’s why we thought we’d kick off January’s blog with the launch of our ‘Tales of Transformation’ […]
5 Key Lessons We Were Reminded of in 2024
We initially planned to write about the lessons we learnt this year. However, as we sat down to reflect (with mince pies in hand, of course!), it became clear that 2024 was more about reinforcing timeless business lessons rather than discovering entirely new ones. (Running a business has a funny way of reminding you to […]
How to Style Your Home for Winter
Given that timeless interior design plays a central role in our work, it may not come as a surprise that many of the tips we shared in our “How to Style Your Home for Autumn” blog apply to winter, too. For that reason, when it comes to wintry colour palettes, fabric choices, lighting, and storage […]

At this time of year, magazines are filled with images of beautiful boutique hotels offering quintessentially cosy stays across the UK. If you’re anything like us, you’ll find yourself swooning over the design inspiration they provide and wanting to transport yourself there in an instant! With that in mind, as many of us gear up […]
