FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Lilly Loves is a Derbyshire-based interior design studio creating calm, natural and beautifully considered homes across the UK and overseas.

We believe great design should do more than create beautiful spaces. It should improve the way you live every day through thoughtful planning, timeless materials and interiors designed around the people who call them home.

Guided by our philosophy of 'Beautiful homes. Better living' we believe thoughtful design has the power to improve the way people live every day.

Beautiful Homes. Better Living. is the philosophy behind everything we do.

We believe a thoughtfully designed home should support everyday life, whether that's making busy mornings feel calmer, creating spaces to gather with family or simply making home somewhere you genuinely enjoy spending time.

Every design decision is made with that in mind.

We see luxury differently.

We believe luxury should feel lived in, not intimidating - it shouldn't feel cold or untouchable.

Our interiors are rooted in natural materials, timeless design and thoughtful planning rather than fleeting trends. The result is homes that feel warm, calm and softer, where beauty comes from craftsmanship, simplicity and the way a space supports everyday life.

Our work is inspired by places where architecture, nature and everyday life exist in harmony. From the Greek Islands and Provence to Mallorca and southern Portugal, we're drawn to homes that feel timeless, relaxed and connected to their surroundings.

Rather than recreating a particular style, we take inspiration from these places and reinterpret them for modern living.

Working with an interior designer helps you make confident decisions, avoid costly mistakes and create a home that's thoughtfully planned from the very beginning. From layouts and lighting to furniture and finishes, we consider every detail so your home feels beautiful, functional and uniquely yours..

Our portfolio reflects a calm, natural and timeless aesthetic, but every home we design is shaped by the people who live there. Rather than applying one style to every project, we create interiors that feel authentic, personal and tailored to your lifestyle while remaining beautifully considered for years to come.

We believe your home has a huge influence on how you feel every day.

Through considered layouts, natural materials and spaces that function beautifully, we create homes that feel calmer, easier to live in and designed around your lifestyle.

We're drawn to the timeless qualities of Mediterranean living: natural materials, relaxed elegance, generous light and a strong connection between indoors and out. 

Rather than recreating a Mediterranean home, we reinterpret these principles to create interiors that feel refined, enduring and perfectly suited to modern life.

Many of our clients come to us with ideas, inspiration or simply the feeling that something isn't quite working. We'll help refine your vision, guide you through the possibilities and recommend the service that's right for your project.

Every project begins with a conversation. 

Once we understand your home, lifestyle and aspirations, we'll recommend the most suitable service and guide you through the design journey from concept to completion.
