It was Julia’s use of natural materials, colour and pattern that first drew me to her work. Her rooms feel beautifully designed, but comfortable too, classic without ever feeling twee or old-fashioned, and completely contemporary. There’s a moodiness to them, but a softness too, which makes them feel warm and inviting.
What I particularly love is the connection between the interiors and the world outside. Her designs feel rooted in both the people who live there and the surrounding landscape, which gives every home its own character. She has a brilliant eye for introducing unexpected colour and pattern, and art never feels like an afterthought – it’s an integral part of the room.

Tell me a little about what you do… I am the creative director and founder of Yond Interiors and Brunel, a custom furniture and objects shop. All of my days are a mixture of design selections (shopping!!), client meetings, PR interviews, schlepping items to and fro and collaboration with my team.
My approach to interior design is… I think of interiors as the capsule that holds our lives. It’s the place where meaningful moments happen. Yond is deeply dedicated to person and place specific design, folding in personal preferences with an aesthetic that translates to the landscape and world outside.
