Led by its founder, Joshua, HOLDENTAYLOR is a London & Cotswolds based design studio creating calm, considered interiors defined by natural materials, thoughtful spatial planning and a refined, understated aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from both contemporary living and traditional architecture, the work reflects a timeless approach to both Residential & Hospitality design.
After a successful career in the fashion industry as a high fashion model and a strong background in hospitality, Joshua went on to complete a degree in Interior Architecture before establishing his studio. This unique background has shaped a strong visual sensibility and an intuitive understanding of composition, materiality and client experience.
At HOLDENTAYLOR we place emphasis on how spaces are lived in, carefully considering flow, light and proportion to create interiors that are not only visually refined but also highly functional. Our work often explores the relationship between structure and softness, combining architectural elements with layered, tactile finishes.
We work closely with clients throughout each stage of the process, ensuring every project feels personal, cohesive and thoughtfully resolved. The studio is driven by a commitment to creating interiors that are enduring, meaningful and quietly distinctive.
Our mission is to bring your visions to life through exceptional design.
We believe in the power of elevating the human experience by creating spaces that resonate with style, comfort, and functionality.
HOLDENTAYLOR blends refined aesthetics with quiet luxury. Every project is approached as a bespoke collaboration, balancing architectural form with emotive detail to create interiors that feel both timeless and intimately lived-in. From layered textures to curated furnishings, each space tells a story.
With a distinctive eye and a commitment to excellence, Joshua has built the studio around the idea that true luxury is never loud; it’s thoughtful, tailored, and enduring. Whether designing a London townhouse, a holiday home or a countryside retreat, the studio’s ethos remains the same: to elevate everyday living beautifully through purposeful design.
HOLDENTAYLOR isn’t just a design studio - it’s an invitation to live beautifully.
“I’ve always believed that a tasteful home goes a long way. The spaces we live in shape how we feel, a calming, beautiful environment can ground us, inspire us, and create space for joy.
I approach every project with intention and intuition. My design process begins with the client; listening closely, understanding their lifestyle, and translating their wants and needs into a space that feels deeply personal. I don’t believe in trends or excess; only timeless design, thoughtful detail, and spaces that feel as good as they look.
To me, true luxury is about comfort, clarity, and balance; a quiet confidence that comes from knowing every element is exactly where it should be.”
