From creating intimate, wellness-focused spaces to balancing luxury with real-life functionality, Philippa Sale shares her approach to designing interiors that nurture both the senses and the soul. In this conversation, Philippa discusses how she navigates the challenges of transparent pricing, personalisation, and the evolving demands of the luxury market.

Podcast Highlights

On her design philosophy: “We don’t just design spaces, we help clients unravel their own tastes. Real-life design is about understanding how people truly live, not just creating pretty pictures.”

On transparency in pricing: “We believe in keeping it straightforward. Clients always know what they’re paying for from trade discounts to our time managing logistics. It’s about trust, and ensuring there are no hidden surprises down the line.”

On the role of AI in design: “AI is great for refining ideas and saving time. But let’s face it, AI can't feel the space, appreciate the light, or understand the subtle nuances of the client’s needs like we can.”

On the future of intimacy-centered design: “I’d like to think intimacy-focused design stays niche for now, but it’s certainly entering the wider conversation. People are realising that sensual, private spaces don’t need to be labelled, and can be integrated into everyday living.”

On the challenges of the luxury market: “Luxury used to be about exclusivity. Now it’s about how long you can wait for a bespoke sofa. Clients want instant gratification, but the reality is that true luxury, the kind that’s custom-made takes time. And it’s rarely as Instagrammable as they’d like.”

On the divide in client expectations: “Younger clients demand luxury, but they’re often swayed by trends they’ve seen on social media. Older clients, on the other hand, are looking for timeless, functional pieces. It’s a delicate balancing act."
