about joanna & claire
Both graduates of KLC School of Design, we met in 2012 at one of London’s leading interior design firms, and went on to establish and lead the Interior Design Department at Leconfield Property Group, completing over 40 projects in prime central London locations. In 2024 we founded Horwood, to focus on our passion for creating beautifully curated interiors for clients looking for an experienced partner to guide them through the process of transforming their homes.
With a portfolio of projects ranging from grand period town houses to apartments and mews houses, we are familiar with the challenges of designing Grade I and II listed properties, and are always respectful of the architecture and surrounding environment. Our combined experience of over 30 years in the industry means we are well placed to draw on the excellent relationships we have built with the best suppliers and partners to realise our collaborative design vision.
We create refined yet relaxed, contemporary interiors that are at the same time timeless and enduring. We believe that a home is for living in, and as such our designs are luxurious but always practical and personal. Our projects are characterised by the highest quality materials, considered details and a strong sense of warmth evoking the true feeling of ‘home’.
The Horwood studio style is engaging, friendly and relaxed. Our creativity, energy and enthusiasm comes through in our approach to design and our relationships with our clients, the foundation of everything we do.
