LUXURY PAINT COLOURS FOR INTERIORS
Luxury paint colours have the ability to completely transform the feeling of a home. Beyond simply adding colour, the tones we choose help shape the atmosphere of a space, creating warmth, calmness, sophistication and depth. When designing interiors, we always consider how paint will work alongside natural light, architectural details, materials and joinery to ensure […]
The Wells and Maguire Process and What it’s Like Working With Us
It feels like only yesterday that we were sat on the floor munching hula hoops and ham sandwiches, celebrating our 7th business birthday by writing this blog. But alas! Another year has rolled by since then and on 16th March of this month, we (Emily and Danielle) celebrated our eighth year in business. Cue the […]
A Spotlight on Natural Light (and How to Get More of it in Your Home)
When people walk into a space, one of the first things they comment on is the light (or lack of it). Estate agents are quick to highlight a home’s natural light when it’s on the market. And at this time of year, the promise of longer, brighter days seems to unite us all. It won’t […]
Tales of Transformation… An Elevated Family Home in Haslemere
Homes that offer more storage, sophistication and flow are on the majority of our clients’ wish lists when they approach our team of interior designers in Surrey. Which is why we’re dedicating the first of our 2026 ‘Tales of Transformation’ to this beautiful family home we completed in Haslemere last year. Our clients were a […]
5 Lessons we Learnt (or were reminded of) in 2025
If we could summarise 2025 in one statement, it would probably be the year of “growth, gratitude and – at times – just getting through it!” As we gear up for our eighth Christmas at Wells & Maguire, we thought we’d allow ourselves the opportunity to look back on the year and reflect on the […]
A Spotlight on the Much-Loved Fireplace
At this time of year, there’s nothing we love more than settling down in front of the fire with good company and a glass of red come the evening. The fact that videos of fireplaces are live-streamed and rack up hundreds of millions of views on YouTube each year shows we’re clearly not alone in […]
A Spotlight on the Colour Blue – Why We Love It and How to Use It in Your Home
In colour theory, blue is often associated with calm, clarity and trust – and when you think about where we see it in nature (the sky, sea, or water more generally), it’s easy to see why. It’s soothing, serene and feels both timeless and grounding… which is probably why it appears in so many of […]
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 had the […]
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, […]
