Maximising Space in Style – Hattie Hansard in The Telegraph

We’re always delighted when our clients’ work is celebrated — and this month, The Telegraph spotlighted the brilliant design vision of Hattie Hansard, senior designer at Joanna Wood.

Hattie’s West London flat, perched above a bakery, is a masterclass in small-space living without compromise. Layered with character, warmth and the quintessentially English charm that Joanna Wood is known for, the apartment blends bold design choices with clever, space-saving solutions — all without a single structural renovation.

From botanical wallpapers and bespoke joinery to ingenious storage and statement lighting, every detail reflects Hattie’s eye for balancing practicality with beauty. It’s a home that feels expansive despite its compact footprint — a testament to her skill in maximising both light and proportion.

The Telegraph feature takes readers on a room-by-room tour:

• A light-filled entrance hall with mirrored accents and hidden storage.

• A “secret garden” bedroom that opens onto a compact but sociable terrace.

• A versatile eaves-level sitting room that doubles as kitchen, study, and dining space.

• Bespoke joinery throughout to keep the home clutter-free yet character-rich.

Hattie also shares her top tips for making the most of a small home — from embracing bold colour to investing in clever joinery and keeping window treatments simple.

We’re thrilled to have placed this story and to see Hattie’s thoughtful, timeless approach to design inspire readers nationwide.
