Our studio

Interiors designed for the way you really live.

At Middlethorpe Interiors, we understand how busy life is, especially for professionals and families juggling multiple priorities. That’s why our approach simplifies the design process, removing overwhelm and allowing you to feel excited, relaxed as your dream home takes shape.

We place ourselves firmly in your shoes, opening a path for mutual respect and collaboration in our pursuit of the best outcomes for you. We carefully consider every detail from budgets and timelines to your everyday routines and how you love to live. The result? An interior that feels effortlessly and timelessly elegant, uniquely personal.

Meet Ann Allan

Founder Ann Allan established Middlethorpe Interiors with a clear vision: create interiors built around real lives, meaningful comfort and the highest level of craftsmanship. After studying at the National Design Academy in Nottingham and working with some of Yorkshire’s leading interior design practices, Ann set out to build a design studio defined by collaboration, integrity, and personalised luxury.

We don't have a signature studio style; we would rather focus entirely on you, blending your tastes and cherished pieces with our fresh ideas to deliver interiors that genuinely reflect who you are. Our discreet yet attentive process ensures that comfort, elegance and authenticity lie at the heart of every space we create.
