Have you ever thought, “I really want to refresh my home, but don’t know where to start”? It’s a dilemma that interior design duo Natalie Stephenson and Juliette Wright have heard a lot during their careers. The pair met and struck up a friendship while working at a leading London design studio 18 years ago before going on to launch their own studio, Stephenson Wright in 2013. With an impressive portfolio and skillset – including stints at Harrods and overseeing large, commercial, and residential projects around the world – these days their base is The Post House, a luxury lifestyle showroom in the smart village of East Horsley.
Natalie and Juliette collaborated with leading lighting designer Mark Kavanagh of Future Light Design, along with River Woodwork, and Cornflake Audio Visual on the design and launch of this breath-taking space. In its previous life, the building was a Royal Mail sorting office. Now, with its double-height lounge area, striking staircase, bar area, and roof terrace garden created by award-winning Fiona Stephenson Designs, it’s a multifunctional showroom and office, not to mention a glamorous location for gathering clients and entertaining.
