About | Samantha Todhunter Design

Samantha Todhunter Design creates interiors defined by an easy, modern dynamic. Each project is suffused with a relaxed glamour, layering luxurious, laid back chic with traditional flourishes. The result strikes a confident balance between relaxed, informal and deeply personal spaces, elevated with considered touches of polish, a little wit and a timeless sense of proportion. This nuanced combination underpins the studio’s distinctive signature.

London based and globally aware, the firm undertakes projects of all scales, from a simple decorative refresh to complete interior overhauls and historic restorations. Its portfolio moves seamlessly between town and country, with recent work including the refurbishment of a 15,000 square foot Julia Morgan house and an 8,000 square foot penthouse in San Francisco, the interior renovation of a 9,000 square foot Aspen townhouse, houses in London, Connecticut and Chicago, a pied à terre in Paris, the restoration of a Grade II listed Queen Anne house in Oxfordshire, and holiday homes in the South of France, Switzerland and Mexico. Each project is designed to feel settled, personal and enduring.

The studio’s founder, Samantha Todhunter, began her career as a journalist and art director for Vogue Living Australia. After moving to the UK, she contributed to international design publications including Harper’s Bazaar, House & Garden and Elle Décor. Her trained editorial eye, expansive design knowledge and instinctive ability to balance welcoming comfort with measured elegance led her to establish her London practice in 2012.

In 2020, the studio launched The Warborough Collection, a focused capsule of upholstery and occasional furniture conceived to be classic, versatile and endlessly useful in real homes. Years in development, the collection comprises key designs that have been tried and tested across projects, refined until they became their most resolved versions. The result has a modern antique sensibility that works effortlessly across interior styles. Classic, timeless pieces that work anytime, anywhere.

The studio has also collaborated with The Rug Company, Collier Webb and Bert & May, and has been internationally recognised with accolades including House & Garden’s Top 100, the Luxe Gold List and Country & Town House’s Fifty Finest.

"It was a joy working with Samantha. Our project was a multi-year gut renovation of our family home. We brought Samantha in early to help us create a design scheme that would reflect our sensibilities and would be timeless. She was able to quickly understand our aesthetic and what we were looking for. With an incredible attention to detail, she worked seamlessly with our architect, builders and multiple contractors. She is very creative and has an excellent eye and delivered to us a house that exceeded our expectations. We look forward to working with her on future projects."
