THE  STUDIO

Smooth Decorator Studio works across set decoration, interiors, sourcing and creative direction, bringing an editorial eye to spaces, objects and visual projects.

Drawing on more than a decade working in film and television art departments, alongside a practice rooted in interiors, decorative arts and collecting, the studio works with productions, brands and private clients on projects of different scales. Each commission begins with research, a strong visual direction and an understanding of the objects and details that give a space its character.
