The Full Story
About
Our Approach
Every project begins with understanding the property and the people who will use it.
We work closely with architects, builders and craftspeople to ensure interiors are considered from the earliest stages of a renovation or new build. This collaborative approach allows us to create spaces that feel cohesive, carefully resolved and effortless to live in.
Whether guiding a full renovation or refining the final layers of a room, our role is to bring clarity, creativity and confidence to the process.
Design, Make and Install
Alongside our interior design studio, Zenterior operates a dedicated Cornish workroom where bespoke soft furnishings are designed and made.
Curtains, blinds, upholstery and headboards are created in-house by an experienced team with decades of expertise in traditional making. This allows us to maintain exceptional quality and ensures every element of an interior is perfectly tailored to its setting.
By combining design with making, we are able to bring depth, texture and individuality to each project.
ZENTERIOR - HARMONIOUS INTERIORS BY DESIGN
Zenterior Design is a Cornwall-based interior design studio specialising in characterful coastal homes, thoughtful renovations and boutique hospitality interiors across the South West.
Our work combines architectural understanding, layered design and bespoke making to create interiors that feel timeless, welcoming and deeply connected to their surroundings. Each project is shaped by the character of the building, the landscape around it and the lifestyle of those who live there.
From period cottages and Victorian townhouses to contemporary coastal retreats, we design interiors that balance beauty, practicality and longevity.
Sustainability and Local Craft
Cornwall has an extraordinary community of makers, artists and craftspeople, and supporting this local talent is central to the way we work.
Where possible we prioritise natural, responsibly sourced and locally produced materials, while also celebrating artisan skill through the makers and suppliers we collaborate with.
This approach not only creates richer, more characterful interiors, but also ensures the projects we undertake contribute positively to the local creative economy.
