A truly passionate team you can trust

We are garden designer Nick Woodhouse and interior designer John Law. We founded Woodhouse and Law in 2009, with a vision to break down traditional design barriers by offering a complete service for homes and gardens. This holistic approach allows us to create fluid and harmonious design concepts, challenging the boundaries between inside and out, viewing a space as a whole.

Fast forward a decade and more and we’ve grown the business into a showroom and studio with a talented team of in house interior designers and specialist garden designers in Bath, extending to a tried and trusted network of local craftsmen and tradespeople.

We offer a truly collaborative, accessible design service and deliver every aspect of a project from concept through to completion, to the highest quality throughout. When we’re not with clients, we’re proud to be able to use our skills and experience to work on local community projects here in the South West.

We believe in offering a collaborative, accessible design service for projects of every scale

We provide a wide range of services to transform your space: from making soft furnishings to our full design service with project coordination. Whatever the size of your project, we’ll always bring a raft of creative ideas and exceptional service from our experienced and detail-oriented team.

Whether residential or commercial, every scheme is designed around you. Our work takes us from Georgian townhouses to chapel conversions, luxury hotels to upscale bars, pied-à terres to coastal holiday homes, city law firms to digital agencies and more.

We like to really get to know you during the design process; to understand your lifestyle or business and what’s important to you; how you use a space; and your likes and dislikes. Only then can we deliver a scheme that not only looks and feels perfect for you, but actually works day-to-day too.

Our studio and showroom are just a few minutes’ walk from Bath city centre on Bathwick Hill. You can meet a designer to chat through your project or browse our collection of decorative lighting, furniture, accessories, and bespoke cabinetry. We have an extensive library of fabrics and wall coverings, from boutique independent designers to the world’s leading design houses, for inspiration too.

We work across the South West of England, throughout Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire and the Cotswolds, with projects often taking us to London, Cornwall and further afield.

Here’s what some of our customers have to say

“We couldn’t be happier with the garden created by Nick and Fiona at Woodhouse and Law. They listened carefully to our requirements and made sure that they understood the way that we wanted to use the garden before presenting us with ideas. Once we had agreed on a plan and budget, they worked efficiently to make the garden a reality. The work was completed on time and on budget. The whole process was very smooth, helped along by the friendly and approachable attitude of everyone at Woodhouse and Law.”

“I can highly recommend Woodhouse and Law. Last year we completed a major building project which included the interior design and furnishing of a new house and a complete garden re-design. The service provided by Woodhouse and Law was excellent. At the start of the project John, Nick and their team took the time to get to know us as a family and to understand our vision. They were professional in their project delivery and their expertise in both interior and external design meant that they were able to come up with innovative, workable ideas to deliver our vision within the agreed budget.”

“John, Nick and their talented team have helped me to create a home that I absolutely love living in. Their lightness of touch combined with their knowledge and ability to interpret the mood that I was aiming for have provided a light and airy and interesting home which is much admired.”

“I own a Grade II listed house in Bristol, and it was in need of a total overhaul. Throughout the construction phase, the team from Woodhouse and Law were constantly available with support and additional designs where required. Their network of specialist designers, manufacturers and contractors are first class and some of the best I have worked with. The finished house is superb, everyone is amazed by the transformation and even several months later I find myself stopping in rooms to look at what has been achieved.”
