ABOUT NERISSA DAVIES INTERIORS
When you’re renovating a home with history, you want someone who understands the quirks, the constraints - and the potential. Someone who listens carefully, works with what’s already there, and helps bring clarity to the process. That’s where I come in.
I’m Nerissa Davies, a Surrey-based interior designer specialising in soulful, considered interior design for period homes. My work blends character with comfort, crafting spaces that honour the past while supporting the way you live now. Whether it’s a Georgian townhouse, an Arts & Crafts cottage or a villa in the South of France, my approach is always calm, collaborative and quietly confident.
My love of design started with old houses. As a child, I spent hours sketching rooms in my grandparents’ Edwardian home - captivated by sash windows, creaking floorboards, and the way light moved across uneven walls. That early fascination turned into a deep respect for heritage, proportion, flow, and the quiet intelligence of a well-designed space.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with clients to bring out the best in their homes, restoring original features, rethinking layouts, and creating interiors that feel beautifully lived-in from day one. While I lead each project, I work closely with a trusted team of trades, makers, and design collaborators to bring every detail to life, people I trust completely to handle your home with care.
What I Believe In
Great design isn’t about trends, it’s about timelessness.
A home should feel as good as it looks.
Every decision should feel clear, not overwhelming.
The best spaces reflect the people who live in them, not the person who designed them.
Specialist in Period Homes
While I work across a range of property types, I have a particular passion for restoring and reimagining period homes. From listed cottages to historic family houses, I understand how to work with the quirks, scale and soul of older buildings, and how to make them feel effortless to live in today.
“It was a delight to work with Nerissa on finishing our space. She really took the time to understand our brief, got a feel for our style and has delivered a truly beautiful look, beyond anything we could have achieved ourselves. The process was smooth, efficient and Nerissa consulted with us throughout. And best of all, it was a lot of fun!”
