For those drawn to calm, understated interiors, Brick and Stone Interiors offers a refreshing, considered approach to design. Based in Harrogate and led by Laura Evans, the studio specialises in creating timeless, grounded spaces that feel lived-in from the start. 

Laura’s style is rooted in classic design principles, layered with natural textures and a relaxed, modern vibe. She works on everything from full renovations to single-room updates, always with an emphasis on thoughtful details and long-lasting appeal. Laura works closely with clients to understand how they live and what they love, turning their house into a home they'll truly enjoy for years to come.

At the heart of her work is a warm, earthy palette. Think creamy whites, soft taupes, terracottas and browns, balanced with richer tones like olive green, navy, and charcoal. She favours materials that bring depth and texture – linen, wool, jute, wood – often offset with subtle metal or stone accents. The result is a home that feels both refined and relaxed, full of character and comfort and beautifully put together.

Laura’s aesthetic is particularly suited to those who appreciate a pared-back, natural style. She’s not the designer to call if you're after bright colours or bold patterns – but if you want a home that feels calm, timeless and quietly elevated, her approach blends creativity with practicality in all the right ways.

Her path to interior design wasn’t typical. Laura began her career as a beauty editor in London, working on editorial shoots that sharpened her eye for storytelling, composition and the importance of detail. When she moved to Harrogate in 2012, she began renovating properties, and what started as a personal passion quickly became something more. Friends began asking for help with their homes, word of mouth spread, and Brick and Stone Interiors was born.

Today, Laura works on projects across North Yorkshire and further afield, including the South of France, London and Ibiza. Her work ranges from layout rethinks and furniture sourcing to full-scale renovations, with each brief tailored to suit the needs of the client and the character of the space. She also offers a two-hour consultation (in person or online) for £200, ideal for advice on floor plans, paint colours, furniture placement or finishing touches.

For anyone looking to create a space that feels inviting, natural and timeless – whether in Yorkshire or beyond – Brick and Stone Interiors offers a thoughtful, collaborative design experience built around warmth, texture, and considered simplicity.
