Charlotte and Angus Buchanan are not what you may expect from two of Britain’s most in-demand interior designers. When they pick up the phone from their quiet West London studio - that acts as both workshop and mood board - there is a confident air of ease that you can only get when you are unequivocally rooted in what you do.
Together, the pair are Buchanan Studio, a design partnership built on the alchemy of two creative sensibilities: his rooted in fashion production design, hers in creative partnerships. It’s a marriage - literally and figuratively - that has become synonymous with their aesthetic where the whimsical flirts with structure, where the lines of theatricality and domesticity blur. Think velvet curves, striped walls and oversized chairs. But what they do doesn’t just look good, it feels inhabited and storied, an uncommon balance that makes you want to stay in rather than go out.
