Revered design professional Emma Sims-Hilditch founded her eponymous studio from her kitchen table in 2009, swiftly establishing it as a household name instantly recognisable for its elegant English aesthetic. From refined manor houses and sprawling country estates to city mews and townhouses, Sims Hilditch continues to push the envelope of bespoke British design nearly 15 years later.
Headquartered at The White Hart, a magnificent studio space outside Bath, the 40-strong team works alongside CEO Henry Hird and Studio Director, Gemma Holsgrove. Emma Sims-Hilditch is a visionary brand custodian for the much-loved studio, drawing on her years of experience to channel creative concepts that respond to owner preferences. In 2024, a second office was opened in Eccleston Place, just a stone's throw away from Pimlico Road.
The studio has garnered a reputation for delivering considered projects that are exquisitely designed with a timeless British sensibility, imbued with fine art and antiques. A stellar portfolio of international projects currently includes alpine chalets, Scottish estates, shooting lodges and private homes across city, coastal and country locations.
Interior Design and Interior Architecture
"Known for its ‘New English’ style which can be applied in city and country homes alike, Sims Hilditch is led by a desire to create high-quality timeless interiors which are suitable for modern living. Our design team foster a curated, layered approach to our projects, comprised of natural textures, vintage artwork and antique furniture. This, paired with more contemporary touches creates the perfect blend of old and new. Playful colours and patterns are also a prominent feature in our designs."
