Living room, interior design and architecture by People and Spaces, Bristol

Working across Bristol, Somerset and beyond, we blend interior design and architecture to create spaces that enhance daily living, promote wellbeing, and inspire creativity.

Design for homes

From thoughtful layout planning to hand-selected furnishings, we work closely with our clients to create homes that reflect their personality, meet their needs, and balance aesthetics with functionality.

Design for businesses

Office design and fit-out, London, Interior Design by People and Spaces Bristol

We enjoy collaborating with businesses—whether offices, hotels or restaurants—and prioritise a deep understanding of how people engage with their environment. Through considered design, we create spaces that not only look stunning but also elevate everyday experiences.

Our design philosophy

We believe that exceptional design can transform lives. Led by Emilie Heinonen, our studio combines architectural and interior design, achieving a harmonious balance of beauty and functionality that draws from Emilie’s 25 years of expertise in both fields. We focus on humanistic design, where every detail is thoughtfully considered to enhance daily living and promote wellbeing. 

Working across Bristol, Somerset and beyond, we create spaces that are deeply personal, reflecting the unique stories, needs, and aspirations of our clients.  Our holistic approach is informed by the history, environment, and unique context of each project, resulting in environments that have a lasting positive impact on both their occupants and the world around them.

“People and Spaces offer the perfect blend of artistic insight and practical solutions. I loved the attention Emilie paid to aspects which I would not have considered, such as lighting. Emilie made us bolder, braver and more open. We selected colours, patterns and ideas which we wouldn't have thought of, but our home still feels very much our own.”
