About
Helen Stanwell has been offering a complete design and project management service for residential interiors since 2004.
Helen mixes the best elements of contemporary and traditional design to create original interiors that are tailored to each client’s vision and are sensitive to the space being restored.
The key to achieving this is taking the time to understand the client’s requirements. We then work on balancing space and volume, light and colour, old and new elements and textures throughout the project. Where the client chooses the design and project management service, we work with contractors and other professionals through to completion to deliver the final product.
By choosing Helen Stanwell Design and Project Management to design your interior and/or manage your project, you will receive a service that is personal, professional and practical.
So contact us for your free, initial, no-obligation consultation.
"My task was to furnish the sitting room and main bedroom of my new Barnes house as I had no furniture. I wanted the result to have Wow factors. However, at the time I was working in the Netherlands so I had to chose a designer whom I could trust and make fast progress with little or no input from me. I eventually chose Helen because of her reputation. When I eventually returned following completion, my expectations had been exceeded by far. I was wowed away and loved the result - including the cost. She had clearly understood my style and wants. The sitting room was made to look much larger by the clever use of glass cabinets and large mirrors and the fitting of shutters in place of curtains. She had bought second hand silk curtains for the bedroom. They looked amazing. Everything she did was stylish and opulent. I took a high risk which paid off and would certainly give Helen my highest recommendation."

"Helen has designed three properties for us: a central London townhouse and two apartments. Throughout the projects, she carefully listened to our needs and presented us with lots of choices for fixtures and fittings. She created stylish, comfortable homes that are a joy to spend time in. She is supremely professional and a delight to work with. I would highly recommend her."

"Working with Helen was such a great experience! From day one, she totally understood what I was looking for and somehow made it even better than I imagined. The whole process was smooth, fun, and super collaborative. Helen has an amazing eye for design, and every detail—big or small—was carefully thought out. I still can’t believe how beautifully everything came together! If you’re thinking about giving your space a makeover, I can’t recommend Helen enough. She is super creative, professional, and just a joy to work with. Thanks again for making my home feel so special!"

"For over more than 20 years Helen has provided my wife and I with contemporary ideas and sound project management from the initial refurbishment of our first small victorian home in Knightsbridge to our current Georgian Townhouse in South Kensington. She took time to understand our style preferences, focussed our choices and added some great unique features. She is responsive, holds suppliers to account and brings budget control and firm project delivery. Highly recommended."

"Working with Helen was a pleasure. She started by really understanding our individual taste and needs, which felt fun and necessary. We were struggling to remodel an inconvenient kitchen in our small Georgian terrace and Helen researched everything from space saving appliances to beautiful materials. She has an amazing eye for colour and proportion, coming up with solutions that mean we enjoy our kitchen every day. Helen also managed the entire project so it came in on time and on budget, and it looks fantastic. The whole experience was great and we’d turn to her for design and project management help again."
