Hello, we’re Helen and Simon Knox, co-founders of Lewis Knox Interior Design.
We set up this independent design studio together to practice innovative client-focused design. Interior spaces affect us all, and good design has the power to enhance people’s moods and well-being. That’s why our approach is all about creating personal and highly imaginative interiors, tailored to fit the needs of each individual project.
Having both spent more than a decade working in high-end interior design, we decided to combine our skills and start a new design studio. Along with our dedicated team, we have in-house expertise in technical architectural design, interior styling and soft furnishings. This means Lewis Knox offers a complete service for both residential and commercial properties.
Our Cheshire Showroom
In 2021 we lovingly renovated a beautiful barn near Chester to become the new home of our design studio and interiors showroom. You will find the design team busily sketching out their latest bathroom or joinery designs alongside our retail space. It’s a welcoming place to share ideas and browse our extensive sample collections. We also stock a range of carefully curated homewares including bespoke cushions, framed art, candles and pottery from independent British makers. Visit by appointment only.

CareersOur Approach
Doing things differently
Too many interior design companies are inflexible with their style and care more about their portfolio than the client’s happiness. We thought it was about time that this changed. Our design philosophy is to use our skill and expertise to unlock our clients’ vision and push their boundaries so they can explore what is possible with their space.
Together is better
Being able to work closely with people is one of the most enjoyable aspects of interior design, taking all of their influences and tastes on board, while also opening their mind to innovative ideas to help them find the perfect look. Our ‘signature style’ is to bring out your signature style, even if you’ve not discovered it yet.
How we work
Our aim is to get to know you, build a rapport, and create a relationship that makes the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. We will open your eyes to new possibilities and concepts, but never force you in a direction that you don’t want to go. In short, we make it possible for you to imagine your ideal interior, and use your ideas to create your perfect space.
