2026 HG101: Meet the UK’s top designers
The organic, handmade quality of Tamsin Saunders’ interiors reflects her holistic approach: she invests a great deal of time in planning structure, layouts and joinery before starting on decoration, and then furnishes with mostly antiques and ‘one-off lucky finds’. The result is soulful, with nature-inspired colours and perfectly imperfect details. She works with a small team; recent projects include a Victorian home inspired by the client’s love of India.
A designer’s idyllic urban cottage where nature and intuition inform every detail
Tucked into a leafy corner of south-west London, Tamsin Saunders of design studio Home & Found has transformed a once-neglected cottage into a deeply personal home shaped by instinct, memory and the shifting colours of the garden.

Tasked with bringing colour and harmony to the ‘greige’ interiors of this Victorian house, interior designer Tamsin Saunders has created spaces to inspire the artist who lives there.
Twenty years on it was time to re-think the home she shares with her husband and three children. ‘The way we use the house has also changed,’ adds Rosie. So she turned to Tamsin Saunders, an interior designer with an artist’s eye for colour and composition. Tamsin’s task was to redesign and refurnish the interior, and ‘de-greige’ its neutral palette, as well as designing a studio for Rosie in the garden.
