Interior design studio
Colour, light and the rooms they make.
We design, source and finish whole homes — colour first, and every material chosen in the room it belongs to.
The KROMA spatial standard
We don't decorate rooms. We compose atmosphere.
Three rooms from the last year, each built around one decision — the colour, the stone or the light — and finished by the same people who drew it.
14 wks
Typical turnkey programme, concept to styled handover.
In-house
Design, sourcing and installation by our own team.
Fixed fee
Agreed before we start, with no surprise line items.
One fixed fee
Agreed before we start and unchanged unless you change the brief.
We buy, you don't
Trade accounts, freight and installation all handled by the studio.
Nothing ordered unseen
Samples and renders approved by you before a single invoice.
Snagged to the last screw
We do not hand a project back until the punch list is empty.
Selected work
Four rooms, four temperaments
The material library
Colour is a material decision, not a paint chart.
These are the finishes our schemes keep returning to. Hover a name to see the sample and what it is actually good for.
A theatrical white marble shot through with plum and burgundy veining. We book-match it across islands, fire surrounds and vanity tops so the pattern reads as one continuous drawing.

Bespoke joinery, natural stone, specified lighting and upholstery made to your dimensions throughout.
How we work
Four stages, one studio
Concept
Site visit, measured survey and a colour and material direction you either love or we redraw.
Design
Plans, elevations and photoreal views of every room, signed off before anything is bought.
Source
We order, track, store and inspect. Deliveries come to us, not to your hallway.
Install
Trades, joinery and styling in one coordinated week, then a snag list until it is empty.
The studio
A small studio that finishes what it draws
KROMA was started because too many beautiful schemes fall apart at the ordering stage. We kept the design team small, brought sourcing and installation in-house, and took on fewer projects a year so that the person who drew your room is the person standing in it on install day.
Projects a year, deliberately

What people say once they've moved back in
“I was terrified of colour and now my living room is emerald green. Ilse showed me the room before I had to commit to anything, which is the only reason I said yes.”
“The budget they quoted at the start is the budget we finished on. After two previous renovations, I did not think that was possible.”
“Every sample arrived in a box before we ordered anything. You could feel the fabric, put the stone next to the wood. It made the decisions easy.”
