About

Storylines believes in thoughtful design to enrich the everyday; creating homes that are familiar, welcoming and beautiful. At the heart of every design is the client's story.

Founded by Caroline Wood-Robertson, the studio is committed to moving beyond trends to create timeless interiors, combining old and new in a way that respects both the past and future. Designs are sympathetic to the existing architecture of the home, whilst also ensuring they are suited to the needs of modern life.

Storylines offers a full interior design service alongside one-off design consultations, all with the purpose of designing homes that enhance, enchant and delight the lives of those who live there.

What is your design ethos? What values are important to you in your work?

“We design to create a feeling, not a look. By focusing on how a space feels, we can create a home which the client feels a genuine sense of emotional connection to.”

In your opinion, what makes a design timeless?

“A timeless design is one which steers away from fashions and trends, focusing instead on the client to create an interior which is authentic and tells their story.”

Why do your clients come to you? What do they value about your work?

“Caroline adopts an empathetic and friendly approach, really taking time to listen and understand each client in order to create an interior that reflects their personality. The belief is that the design process, as well as the finished interior, is there to be enjoyed.”
