We are Nested Living, a design studio and workshop based in Oxfordshire. We create bespoke kitchens, furniture, joinery and interiors for homeowners, architects and organisations across the South of England,  and London. We work with homeowners, architects, interior designers, and commercial clients from rural farmhouses in the Cotswolds to offices and hospitality spaces in London.

Our approach is different. Every project is guided by regenerative thinking, working with natural and reclaimed materials, designing for longevity, and creating spaces that genuinely support the people who live and work in them. From a single piece of furniture to a full interior commission, everything is designed and made in-house, with care.

Design for Life. Together

Our Approach

Design for life — not for replacement.

Most kitchens and interiors are designed to be replaced within ten years. We design them not to be. Our regenerative approach means considering every material for where it came from, how long it will last, and what happens to it afterwards.

We use locally sourced and reclaimed timber, low-VOC finishes, and construction methods that allow pieces to be repaired and adapted rather than discarded. Because we work across consultancy, design and making, we stay closely connected to every project from beginning to end and beyond it.

This isn’t just better for the planet. It produces interiors that feel more alive, more honest, and more genuinely yours.

Nested Living’s commitment to sustainability truly sets them apart. Throughout our project, they demonstrated a keen awareness of environmental impact, working collaboratively with us to source eco-friendly materials and methods of construction. Their dedication to creating a more sustainable future aligns seamlessly with our values, making them the ideal partner for those who prioritise both innovative design and environmental responsibility.

What We Do

Bespoke Kitchens

Handmade kitchens designed around how you actually live. Durable, adaptable, and made from materials chosen for their character and longevity.

Furniture & Joinery

One-off pieces, fitted furniture, alcove units, wardrobes, home offices and more all designed and crafted in our workshop. Made to be used, loved and kept.

Interior Design

Whole interiors considered from first principles; light, flow, materials and atmosphere, creating spaces that feel grounded, healthy and right for the people in them.

Regenerative Consultancy

For architects, developers and organisations: early-stage guidance on regenerative principles, material choices and design strategy. We help clarify intent before the big decisions are made.

How We Work

 

  • Discover- Understanding Your Project. Every project begins with listening — to you, your space, and what really matters. This stage shapes everything that follows and makes sure nothing important gets missed.
  • Co-Create- Design & Making. We work closely with you throughout — developing ideas through conversation, testing materials, and crafting solutions that feel considered, practical and genuinely yours.
  • Nurture- Long-Term Care. Our relationship doesn’t end at installation. We design for longevity and stay available to adapt, maintain and care for your space as it evolves over time.

Who We Work With

Homeowners & Private Clients

You want a kitchen, furniture or interior that feels personal, beautiful and built to last, not mass-produced. We work closely with you from first ideas through to installation and beyond.

Architects & Designers

You need a making partner who understands detail, communicates clearly and shares your commitment to quality and responsible material choices. We collaborate at every stage of a project.

Organisations & Developers

You’re looking for design and consultancy that aligns with your values around sustainability, wellbeing and place. We bring regenerative thinking into commercial and institutional projects from the ground up.
