Christy has worked as an interior designer in London for 20 years. She is a member of the British Interior Design Association and the Chartered Society of Designers. She has also designed interiors in South Africa, the United States, and France. Those seeking the best in design are welcome to visit her Chelsea design studio to discuss any interiors project they may wish to undertake, or arrangements can be made for a site visit and project review.

The studios were stables converted into places for craftsmen to work on displays for the 1851 Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace. The name ‘Avenue’ that was given to the studios refers to a long line of elm trees that, in the 18th century, ran from the Fulham Road right up to the Old Brompton Road marking a boundary between two nursery gardens. Some of these ancient trees are still living, just outside Austin Interior Design’s door. Many designs which came from the craftsmen and artists are now a part of England’s heritage. The stone lions at Trafalgar Square, the Queen’s head on the British postage stamp, and the statue of Eros at Piccadilly Circus, all were conceived at these studios.

We welcome you to visit our historic studio. We enjoy the quiet, but energetic spirit which prevails in this small spot of London where we can create perfect interiors for our clients.
