CELIA MCCARTHY,
INTERIOR DESIGNER

Richardson Studio is an interior design practice based in Bath and led by creative director and founder, Celia McCarthy. The studio's aim is to create spaces that are a joy to be in; blending a clean-lined, modern aesthetic with playful flourishes, be they uplifting colour, textured materials or standout pieces of ceramics or art.

The end goal is always to make people feel inspired and comfortable within the space they inhabit.

Increasingly the focus of Richardson Studio is to highlight eco-aware design solutions;

championing the ever-growing family of brilliant sustainable interiors brands and always utilising ethical materials and energy saving design wherever possible. This interweaves with a passion for teaching and working closely with the next generation of design talent both within universities and more informal interiors workshops.

With more than 20 years of experience, Celia has worked in both London and New York splitting her time between hospitality brands and boutique residential projects.

Her work has been featured in Wallpaper*, ELLE Decoration and LivingEtc as well as shortlisted for The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.

She has worked on projects for a diverse mix of clients, including Harrods, French Connection and V & A museum as well as collaborating with owners on a vast range of inspiring homes, be they a villa in St Barts, Somerset stately homes or urban apartments in Brixton.
