Rebecca Sudic Interiors

How would you describe your personal design style?:
My style is based around neutral tones and an elegant, timeless look. I love combining mid-century pieces with contemporary design, as it creates spaces that feel interesting and layered without being overly trend-driven. I like to introduce pops of colour through statement pieces such as furniture, artwork or lighting, which adds personality and keeps the overall scheme feeling fresh and balanced.

Where does your design inspiration come from?:
My inspiration comes primarily from architecture, travel and the way people live in their homes, with a particular passion for period properties and the character they offer. I am drawn to original features, elegant proportions and the craftsmanship of traditional architecture, and I enjoy reinterpreting these elements to create interiors that feel modern yet respectful of their heritage.

A key part of my creative process is finding the balance between old and new – introducing contemporary lines, materials and functionality into traditional settings to create spaces that feel sophisticated, relevant and timeless.

My clients are also a constant source of inspiration. Understanding their lifestyle and aspirations allows me to design interiors that feel personal, intuitive and effortlessly refined, rather than purely decorative.

In what direction do you feel that design is moving towards in a general sense?:
Interior design is moving away from fast trends and towards more timeless, personal spaces. There is a stronger focus on natural materials, softer colour palettes and layered textures, creating calm and liveable interiors.

There is also a growing desire to blend character with contemporary living, particularly in period properties where modern functionality is being introduced without losing original charm. Overall, design is becoming more about longevity and meaningful spaces rather than purely decorative statements.

What projects are you currently working on?:
I am currently working on a 7,000 square foot new-build family home in Radlett. The project involves creating a cohesive interior scheme across the entire property, balancing practical family living with a refined, timeless aesthetic.

The focus is on carefully considered layouts, layered neutral tones and high-quality finishes, with contemporary elements softened by classic detailing. Each space is being designed to feel elegant yet comfortable, with an emphasis on longevity and how the family will use the home on a day-to-day basis.

This project is an opportunity to create a fully tailored interior from the ground up, ensuring that every room feels connected while still having its own identity and purpose.

What was your favourite project to work on and why?:
One of my favourite projects to work on was Newlands, as it challenged me creatively and pushed me outside of my comfort zone. The design brief allowed me to explore a much bolder use of colour than I would typically use, which made the project both exciting and highly rewarding.

Working with strong, confident hues encouraged a more expressive approach to layering materials, finishes and statement pieces, while still maintaining balance and cohesion throughout the scheme. It was a project that proved how powerful colour can be when used thoughtfully, and it strengthened my confidence in taking creative risks when the brief allows.

Newlands remains a standout project for me because it reinforced the importance of trusting the design process and embracing opportunities to evolve creatively, while still delivering a home that felt personal and distinctive for the client.

What was your most challenging project to work on and why?:
The main challenge of the Newlands project was stepping away from my usual neutral-led approach and confidently embracing a much bolder colour palette. The brief required strong, expressive colours to be used throughout the home, while still creating a sense of cohesion and flow between spaces.

Balancing these vibrant tones without overwhelming the interiors required careful consideration of scale, proportion and layering. Each colour needed to feel intentional and connected, rather than decorative for its own sake. It pushed me to think differently about contrast, texture and how light interacts with colour within a space.

The challenge ultimately became the strength of the project, as it expanded my creative boundaries and resulted in an interior that felt distinctive, confident and full of personality while still remaining sophisticated and liveable.

Which products/services could you not live without when designing?:
I rely heavily on skilled craftspeople and specialist services, including bespoke joinery, upholstery and curtain makers. These collaborators allow me to tailor each design to the client and elevate a scheme from standard to truly personal, ensuring every detail feels considered and cohesive.
