Hospitality 
The Old Post Office Café
York
A city café in the former post office on the square, where the ochre glazed brick and old doors set the tone.
A warm, comfortable and timeless interior.
Sage & Stone designs interiors for homes and businesses. A complete plan or just one part — you decide where it stops.
The starting point
I’m not one for fleeting trends.
A good interior doesn’t have to come from the most expensive brands. It starts with a sound base of colours, materials and lighting — and with a layout in which the routes and sightlines simply work.
I want to create a coherent interior that reflects your personality and can grow with you into the next stage of life. That means listening well: how do you like to live, what matters to you, which pieces of furniture mean something to you?
Interior advice doesn’t have to be complicated or costly, either. I can usually visit within a week for a no-obligation first consultation.

A selection of the work
From a city café in York’s old post office to a family home with five children. Different commissions, the same approach.
Hospitality 
Larder & Loaf Eatery
York
Two timber benches on wheels and hand-made Moroccan tiles keep this restaurant flexible and fresh.
House 
Detached family home
Light, child-friendly and calm, with room for a family of seven and an open plan that works.
Visitor centre 
Riverside Visitor Centre
Leeds
A warm, industrial visitor centre for a new riverside development — inviting from the very first step.
Apartment 
Apartment
York
Light and contemporary, yet warm: earthy tones and a glass wall that brings in the morning sun.
Waiting room 
Bootham Dental Practice
Harrogate
No longer a clinical waiting room, but the feel of a hotel lobby — with real plants and soft light.
Approach
From conversation to step-by-step plan
I visit, I listen, and then I write a plan that fits what you need — not a standard package.
Consultation
A conversation of one to two hours at your home or on site. How do you live or work, and what matters to you?
Step-by-step plan
Based on that conversation I write a plan with the parts you need, and what they will cost.
Design
Floor plans, 3D impression, mood board, colour and materials schedule, furniture proposal and lighting plan.
Delivery
If you like, I oversee the work, together with cabinet makers, decorators and suppliers.

I am Sage & Stone.
Interiors have always had my heart. Even as a child I drew houses and floor plans, and had ideas about how rooms could work better and feel nicer with simple changes.
After years in hospitality — running a restaurant in York together with my husband — I trained as an interior designer and stylist in 2012. I then spent four years advising buyers at a new-build developer’s design studio. In February 2018 I started Sage & Stone.
It won’t become my home; it becomes your Home. I help you follow your heart.
