Our mission.

At Ode&Ettle, our mission is to craft spaces that are intentional, handcrafted, and deeply considered. We design with purpose, always mindful of the people who inhabit our spaces and the planet that sustains us. For us, it’s never just about how a space looks, but how it works in harmony with the way people live; every design is tailored to suit lifestyle as much as aesthetics. Every project is a collaboration, where we work closely with our clients and suppliers to ensure design expectations are not only met but exceeded with creativity and care.

We believe that good design should be good for the world. That’s why we source with intention, prioritising local, handcrafted, and closed-cycle pieces wherever possible. From antiques and recycled timber to carefully selected artisanal products, we look for stories within every material, giving each space a unique sense of character and legacy. We hold our suppliers to the same high standards, asking meaningful questions about their processes to ensure alignment with our values of transparency and sustainability.

At the heart of our practice is the belief that design is for everyone. Inclusivity and diversity are not afterthoughts, but guiding principles woven into everything we create. By celebrating individuality, heritage, and difference, we ensure that our spaces don’t just look beautiful - they feel welcoming, functional, and truly lived in.

ABOUT US

Ode & Ettle was founded by myself and my husband, both of us shaped by inspiring interiors from an early age. Growing up surrounded by design, we developed a shared passion for the spaces we live and move through. That passion led us to create our own interior design studio - not just an ordinary design company, but one with meaning woven into its very identity.

Our name reflects this. Ode is inspired by the idea of a poem, which symbolises how every design tells a story which is unique and different to each person who enters a space. Ettle is drawn from the word mettlesome, which embodies spirit, ebullience, and determination, which are qualities we bring to every project.
