about
who we are
Established in 2023 by Hannah Gilchrist, Studio Eight Design, is a bespoke interior design studio based in South East London working with residential clients around the UK.
With an eye for colour, detail and creative thinking, honed by her former career in the fashion and publishing industry, Hannah’s designs are crafted to tell a story.
After graduating with distinction at KLC School of Design in 2023, she set up Studio Eight Design where she could marry her skills alongside her natural flair for design, craftsmanship and materiality.
She now brings her knowledge to transform traditional and contemporary properties into beautiful, practical and relaxed homes.
what we do
The spaces we design come from a narrative that is guided by our clients - resulting in an authentic reflection of who we are. Our homes, and the furniture and furnishings we choose, should tell a story of our lives, both past and present and with half an eye on the future.
Greatly inspired by nature, we like to mix old and new alongside softness and texture, to create individual and comfortable spaces layered with personality.
Our ethos is deeply ingrained in everything we do. From space planning to lighting and electrical design, our client-focused approach ensures each project is unique and thoughtfully attuned to each design across a range of requirements.
what people say
“Working with Hannah created an oasis of calm.
From start to finish she took the time and stress out of decision-making, came up with great suggestions for maximising the space we had and really considered the needs of our three children.
The end results are areas and rooms that will evolve with us as a family”
“Hannah has such an innate sense of style that she immediately put me at ease.
She wasn’t afraid to rethink the layout and make bold changes that completely transformed the space, making it both functional and beautiful.
The final result feels so personal and will stand the test of time. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without her.”
“Hannah delivered a genuinely life-changing transformation.
She has a keen eye for detail - from lighting to electrics to remedying missed layout opportunities.
Without her creativity, pragmatism and understanding of our family’s needs, we wouldn’t have arrived at the gorgeous family home we now enjoy. ”
