✨ Lighting & Design — Setting the Mood, Shaping the Story ✨
Elegant interior featuring a striking pendant light with vibrant purple feathers by @coldharbour_lights, complemented by a cozy leather armchair and chic, modern tables against a soothing arched backdrop. At the studio, we believe every room should tell a story — and lighting is one of the most powerful ways to do that. 💡 When designing, we always think about what we want to highlight, how the space will be used throughout the day, and how lighting can bring both function an

✨ Hardware in Design — The Small Details That Make a Big Difference ✨
Elegantly designed hardware pieces showcase the subtle intricacies that enhance any space, highlighting the importance of small details in modern design. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQn8e5pDDsY/ In our studio, hardware is never an afterthought — it’s part of the design conversation from the very beginning. From the tap in your kitchen to the handles on your cabinets, the door levers you touch every day, and even the light switches on the wall — these small elements quietly sh

✨ The Art of Detail Design ✨
Exquisite details add elegance and charm: a showcase of natural textures, rich wood grains, and refined finishes that elevate any space. ✨ The smallest details often have the biggest impact. ✨ This week, we’re exploring detail design — the thoughtful touches that elevate a space from beautiful to truly exceptional. In interior design, detail design is where creativity meets precision. It’s about more than finishes or fixtures — it’s how every handle, line, texture, and propor

Their collection of luxury wall and floor tiles — crafted from marble, travertine and high-quality porcelain — offers both durability and elegance.

✨ Designing Around a Vanity ✨
When we approach a bathroom design, we always start with a focal point — and the vanity often sets the tone for the entire space. It anchors the layout, influences the material palette, and ties together the flooring, tiles, and lighting. 🖤 In this ensuite, space was limited and shared by two people, so we opted for a single, larger basin rather than two smaller vanities. The goal was to maximise function without compromising flow — and if you do have the space, a double van

✨ AI Concept Development — Wood Floors in Design ✨
One of the most important elements in any home — for me — is the floor. It grounds the entire design, connects each space, and sets the tone from the moment you walk in. These AI concepts explore how a home’s entrance can feel both welcoming and architectural — where wood floors flow naturally toward the light and pair effortlessly with Critall-style doors in the background. The combination is timeless: natural, tactile, and quietly elegant. At Sarah Burrows Studio, we use AI

✨ Dinesen in Design ✨
I’ve known about @dinesen for years — and every time I see one of their projects, I’m reminded why their work is so timeless. 🤍 Dinesen isn’t just about wood flooring — it’s about craftsmanship, heritage, and a deep respect for nature. Each plank is made from slow-grown Douglas fir or oak sourced from sustainable European forests, carefully selected and crafted to highlight the wood’s natural character. 🌿 What I love most is how Dinesen floors complement both residential a

✨ Sanding Floors in Design ✨
This week we’re talking about wood floors in design — and honestly, they’re one of the first things I check when I walk into any renovation project. The moment I lift a corner of old carpet, I’m secretly hoping to find beautiful original floorboards underneath. It’s that instant spark that helps me start visualising the potential of a space. I can’t tell you how excited I get when I see those boards — even when they’re worn, stained, or covered in dust. You can always bring t

✨ My Story as an Interior Designer ✨
I’m always designing — or at least thinking about design. If someone wants to talk interiors, I could honestly go on for hours. 🖤 A few days ago, I was chatting with my husband about how design has been part of my life long before I ever called myself an interior designer. Even back in my twenties, I was renovating homes — taking out fireplaces, sanding floors, tiling bathrooms, and adding loft extensions. My mother-in-law once said she couldn’t believe how many photos I’d t

✨ Concept & Development — Exploring AI in Design ✨
AI is a big topic in our house at the moment. With teens who are told not to use it for school, and a husband exploring its potential in business — it’s a conversation that keeps coming up! At @decorex_international this year, AI came up again and again in discussions — how studios can use it, and how it’s becoming a tool we can’t really ignore if we want to keep evolving. I’ll be honest — I started using AI mainly for admin and research, but recently I’ve begun experimentin

✨ Spotlight on Barn Home Design & Build, Australia ✨
Today I got my first Airbnb booking — something I’ve wanted to do for years!

✨ My Platform in Interiors - Blog ✨
I started this platform in January as a way to share the design work I’ve been creating over the years through my own renovations — and to complement my Interior Design Studio based in Tunbridge Wells.
