Interior design services
and renovation management
Ter Hoeven Design is led by Tanya and Bernard, a husband-and-wife team of professional interior designers.
We are passionate about translating our clients’ ideas into interiors that are at once comfortable, liveable and beautiful.
Our work spans both traditional and contemporary styles, often bringing together the character of older houses with modern furniture, art and carefully considered lighting.
We offer a comprehensive range of services, from space planning and design development to furniture sourcing and the supervision of renovation works.
We also design bespoke furniture for projects that call for something distinctive or made to custom dimensions. This ability to create custom pieces enables us to carry each design concept through with consistency, precision and attention to detail.
Born in the Netherlands, Bernard has been driven from an early age by a desire to create objects that are as beautiful as they are functional. His journey into interior design has taken him from his studies at a Dutch University of Technology (Twente) to participation in international art exhibitions, and later to a master’s degree at London’s Royal College of Art.
This artistic background continues to shape his sensitivity to colour, composition, and the careful curation of decorative objects.
He is also instrumental in the development of bespoke furniture pieces that sit naturally within Ter Hoeven Design projects, whether the sculptural Trellis Chair or the ingenious dining table concealed within the TV wall of a Battersea living room.
With a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, materials, and technical solutions, Bernard works closely with construction teams to ensure that each design is realised with precision and care.
Tanya enjoys working closely with clients, presenting her ideas while developing a clear understanding of their needs, preferences and expectations. She uses ArchiCAD, SketchUp and Photoshop to translate those ideas into thoughtful space-planning solutions and clear visualisations.
When she chose to establish an interior design studio in the UK, Tanya expanded her qualifications with a diploma in Professional Interior Design from the National Design Academy in Nottingham. This gave her valuable insight into the particular requirements of the UK market, along with a strong knowledge of local products, suppliers and industry practices.
