tanya bentley interior architecture

Tanya Bentley is a small but perfectly formed Interior Design and Interior Architecture studio specialising in major residential refurbishments across London, Hampshire and Cornwall.

We specialise in end to end renovations: often working on complex construction projects that require a rigorous attention to detail, an engineer’s mindset and an eye for great design. Happily, we have all bases covered!

We delight in crafting elegantly detailed schemes that respond sensitively to the architecture, the setting and the inhabitants. And we pride ourselves on transforming houses into beautiful, thoughtful homes that work for modern life.  

STUDIO APPROACH

Successful interior projects take creativity, collaboration and meticulous organisation – we’ve honed our process to balance them all.

From day one we invest ourselves in you and your property, getting to know you, understanding your vision and guiding you through the decision-making.

The result, a truly special home that’s just as you imagined, and more. Based in our studio overlooking the water in south Cornwall, and office in Hampshire, we accept commissions across the south coast and home counties including Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire.  Our latest project sees us working on a prime residential townhouse in Chelsea.

“Tanya is totally professional and an absolute delight to work with; we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She re-configured parts of our much loved creekside cottage which we’d owned for 20 years, in ways we had never considered”

“Tanya suggested a few subtle changes to our plans that made such a huge difference to the layout of our home. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and we would highly recommend her.”

A successful renovation relies on many factors: expertise, vision, collaboration and listening, to name just a few. We work in a way that plays to our individual strengths and what we all share is a fastidious attention to detail, a deep regard for our clients and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

The result? A high-end, high-specification renovation that’s been an absolute joy for everyone involved — how often do you hear that said?
