Charlotte Santin
I love the concept of four walls and how a space can be transformed.
I like to think of myself as a creator of homes as opposed to an interior designer. Your house becomes a home when it is not only visually pleasing but ultimately comfortable and effortless. My love of interiors was nurtured instinctively from a young age. I owe a lot to my parents who always made our homes uniquely stylish and gave us all the advantages of an eclectic Italian & English upbringing.
Through word of mouth I have worked on some incredible properties and with remarkable people, many of whom have become friends. Each project is a very personal journey. As my clients and I get to know one another, ideas are formed and concepts developed. When the project is complete it just feels right and none of us could ever imagine it any other way.
It is key for me to fully understand a client's vision and fulfil it completely whilst managing their money wisely. One client kindly said to me at the end of their project :
"Charlotte, you have given me my champagne taste on my beer budget".
The most important thing for me is to fulfil the brief with attention to detail, alleviate the stress and complete the project to the maximum potential of any given budget

Testimonials
"We did a complete house renovation that took over a year and aside from some interiors samples I had collected along the way, we didn’t know where to start or how to create the family home we now have. Charlotte was fantastic, not only on the interior design front but also on the project management side of things including dealing with our builders. She absolutely got our vision and had some invaluable practical and creative suggestions throughout the process that have all worked out beautifully. Charlotte is an absolute joy to work with, has impeccable taste, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly!" - Between the Commons
"Thank you for all the work you put into making our kitchen everything we wanted it to be.
From one magazine cutting, and me knowing I wanted crittal doors, you turned a cramped and very stressful kitchen into an oasis of calm and practical sophistication. We all love to cook and entertain and this is now our favourite room of the house. The best thing about creating our new space, was how you really listened to what we were trying to achieve and importantly, how brilliant you were on where we could economise." - Battersea Park
"A friend recommend Charlotte to me whilst renovating my house. Despite the fact I had very clear ideas of what I wanted to achieve from a design perspective, Charlotte's help was invaluable. Her experience, artistic flair and clever design ideas were fantastic. Charlotte is really easy, relaxed and fun to work with, makes decisions simple and clear and is completely flexible. Charlotte's approach is to get involved as much or as little as you need and that was perfect for me. She takes the stress out of the process and has excellent contacts. I could not recommend Charlotte more highly." - Wandsworth House
