Hello​ I’m Michaela Clarke,
Founder of House of Lexden, an interior design studio based in Essex, offering bespoke interior design and styling services for private homes and boutique commercial properties across Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and beyond.
​
At House of Lexden, I believe a home should tell a story, a reflection of who you are and a collection of things you love. My approach combines classic, timeless design with a modern sensibility, creating interiors that feel both elegant and deeply personal.​ Each project is carefully considered, layering thoughtful details, beautiful materials and meaningful pieces to bring character and individuality to every space.
​
Great design is not only about how a room looks, it is about how it functions and how it feels to live in.
​
Comfort, balance and a sense of calm are essential to everyday wellbeing, which is why every project begins with careful planning and intelligent design. I create spaces that feel effortless, considered and designed to support the way you live.​
Inspired by the calm, layered atmosphere of boutique hotels, I often bring a sense of quiet luxury and refinement into the homes I design.
​
Whether you are seeking guidance for a single room or planning a complete home redesign, House of Lexden offers a personal, professional and collaborative service from concept through to completion.
​
My aim is to help you reconnect with your home, creating spaces that feel elegant, welcoming and made to last.
