My name’s Lesley Holder. I established Studio Holder after many years of renovating period properties and advising numerous friends and family on how best to maximise the potential of their homes – reconstructing or reshaping interiors to create spaces that function effortlessly and connect beautifully.

I have excellent and instinctive spatial awareness and a keen eye for detail. I genuinely enjoy helping clients achieve their aims through clear discussions, objective site-analysis and sensitivity to the existing building.

After graduating from the London College of Fashion, I spent several years liaising with customers in a bespoke occasion wear boutique in Chelsea, London. My enthusiasm for re-designing interiors led me to take a Women into Architecture course at the South bank University and I’ve been imaginatively remodelling interiors ever since.
