Interior Designers in Stow-on-the-Wold
Interior Design for Period and Country Homes in Stow-n-the-Wold
Studio Bellord is a Cotswolds-based interior design studio specialising in thoughtfully designed interiors for country houses, listed properties and long-term family homes.
Working in the Stow-on-the-Wold area, we create timeless interiors that respect the town’s historic character whilst supporting the way our clients live today. From listed cottages and elegant period townhouses to substantial country homes in the surrounding countryside, every project is shaped by the character of the property and the people who live within it.
Selected Projects
Whilst every project is unique, they share a common approach: creating homes that respond thoughtfully to their architecture, setting and the people who live within them. The projects below reflect the considered, long term approach that defines our work for clients throughout the Cotswolds.
Countryside Retreat
A sensitive reworking of a period Cotswolds property, designed to support modern family life while preserving the home’s original character. The scheme focused on improving flow, layering natural materials and introducing practical storage, creating spaces that feel comfortable, considered and quietly timeless.
Country Residence
A full interior design scheme for a long-term family country house, shaped by careful space planning and a clear understanding of how the home would be lived in over time. The design balances practicality with warmth, ensuring the interiors feel coherent, adaptable and enduring.
Barn Conversion
A layered interior scheme for a historic rural barn, bringing clarity and cohesion to a characterful setting. Natural textures, restrained colour and bespoke details were used to soften the architecture, creating a calm, welcoming home that respects its agricultural origins.
Each project reflects our belief that successful interiors are as much about
how a home works as how it looks.
Working with an Interior Designer in Stow-on-the-Wold
Stow-on-the-Wold is one of the Cotswolds’ most historic market towns, renowned for its beautiful limestone buildings, historic market square and exceptional collection of listed properties. From traditional cottages and elegant period townhouses to converted barns and substantial country homes, each property presents its own architectural character and design considerations, requiring an approach that respects historic features whilst supporting the way people live today.
Working with an interior designer in Stow-on-the-Wold demands an understanding of how architectural heritage, modern family life and contemporary expectations can be brought together in a way that feels natural, cohesive and enduring. As a Cotswolds based studio, our interiors have been recognised in leading design publications and reflect a thoughtful, long term approach to creating homes that will be enjoyed for many years to come.
Rather than imposing a fixed design style, our role is to bring clarity, structure and long term thinking to every project. The result is a home that feels cohesive and enduring, balancing architectural character with the practicalities of modern family living whilst preserving the qualities that make each property distinctive.
Designing Homes in Stow-on-the-Wold
Our work often involves:
- Working with period proportions, architectural detailing and traditional materials.
- Designing bespoke joinery that complements the character and history of each property.
- Creating timeless interiors that support both everyday family life and entertaining.
Many homes in Stow-on-the-Wold have evolved through successive extensions and alterations, creating layouts that no longer reflect the way their owners live today. We help bring clarity and cohesion to these spaces, improving circulation, functionality and the relationship between rooms whilst remaining sympathetic to the property’s original character.
Working closely with architects, contractors and specialist craftspeople, we guide projects from initial concept through to completion, ensuring every interior feels considered, cohesive and enduring.

Our approach may not be the right fit if you are looking for:

- value a design approach shaped by the client, the architecture and how the home will be lived in, rather than a fixed house style
- prefer a calm, structured design process
- want a home that supports family life without feeling over-designed
- value quality, longevity and thoughtful decision-making
- fast, trend-led interiors or short-term design solutions
