Our Story

Based in the North East, designing across the UK

Studio Appleby was founded out of a deep passion for interior design and a dedication to transforming homes into thoughtfully curated, functional spaces.

Founder Ina Appleby, based in Ponteland in the North East of England, brings a distinctive eye for aesthetics, elegance, and detail to every project. Before establishing Studio Appleby, Ina undertook extensive interior design and project management projects. Her work consistently demonstrates a refined understanding of colour palettes, spatial planning, and materials, resulting in timeless interiors characterised by harmony and sophistication.

At Studio Appleby, the design philosophy blends refined elegance with practical functionality. Each project is carefully considered, balancing beauty and liveability to ensure spaces not only look exceptional but also enrich the everyday lives of those who live in them.

Your home should be a sanctuary, a cosy and comfortable place that impresses guests when entertaining. That’s where we come in. From the start, we focus on building trust and understanding your vision and lifestyle. We listen carefully and communicate openly, ensuring you feel supported and valued throughout the process.

We treat your home as if it were our own – with care and attention to detail. This trusted collaboration allows us to create interiors that blend luxury with practicality, making your home not just beautiful but also easy to live in. Our greatest reward is seeing you delighted with a space that truly reflects your personality and enhances your everyday life.
