Interior Design & Space Planning

At Rodwell & Astor, our interior design service is tailored to create homes that are both beautiful and highly functional. We work closely with clients to develop cohesive spaces that reflect the way they live, incorporating space planning, furniture selection, lighting, materials and finishes.

Whether you are furnishing a new home, renovating a single room or refining an existing space, we bring together timeless pieces, natural textures and a grounded palette to create interiors with depth, warmth and longevity.

Interior Design

Our interior design service is a deeply collaborative process. We begin by understanding how you live — your daily rhythms, your aesthetic instincts, the pieces you love and the way you want your home to feel. From there, we develop a cohesive design direction that balances beauty with practicality.

Every decision — from furniture selection and lighting to materials, finishes and soft furnishings — is made with care and intention, ensuring the result is a home that feels resolved, personal and enduring.

Space Planning

Thoughtful space planning is at the heart of every well-resolved interior. We consider how a room flows, how it functions day to day, and how each piece works in relation to the space as a whole.

Whether you are starting from scratch or reworking an existing layout, we help define the best use of space to improve functionality, comfort and visual balance — ensuring each room feels both practical and beautifully composed.
