I’ve never been interested in things that look untouched.

I’ve always been interested in things that have lived.

I’m Amy Jones — interior designer, creative director, and someone who has spent most of her life questioning inherited assumptions.

Who decided what a home should look like? Who decided what good taste means? Who decided that luxury has to feel a certain way?

These aren’t rhetorical questions. They’re the ones I bring to every project.

I grew up reading Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. I was drawn to old hotels, weathered buildings, period films, and people with stories. Not because I was nostalgic — but because I was looking for depth. For things that felt alive rather than merely correct.

That instinct never left. It became a career.

What I do

I create atmospheric, characterful spaces for private clients and boutique developers who want more than the obvious answer.

My work sits at the intersection of interiors, culture, and creative direction. I’m not interested in trend-led decoration or generic luxury. I’m interested in spaces that feel like the person who lives in them — their history, their curiosity, their point of view.

Before I think about materials or furniture, I want to understand how a space should feel. What it should say. What it absolutely shouldn’t be. Every decision that follows is an edit toward that feeling.

I work across full interior design, design direction, and creative direction — depending on what a project needs and where my involvement will have the most impact. I lead every project personally, working alongside a trusted network of technical designers, makers, and specialist collaborators.

How I see

I’m drawn to tension and contrast — chrome against linen, brutalist forms in soft spaces, antique objects in contemporary settings. A room without tension feels flat to me.

I prefer things with patina over things that look new. I like aged brass, smoked oak, limestone, plaster, and linen. I like vintage pieces that carry a history. I like rooms that reward looking at them slowly.

What I avoid: rooms that match too perfectly. Spaces designed to photograph well rather than to live in. Everything that could belong to anyone.

Your home should tell me about you. Not your algorithm.
