Genevieve Wallis is the founder and creative director of Genevieve Wallis Studio, an interior design practice recognised for its understated elegance and refined, thoughtful restraint. With a background in fashion media, Genevieve brings a unique design perspective, where composition, craftsmanship and tactile richness are central to her approach.
She is particularly drawn to the meeting point of the functional and the poetic - creating interiors that support daily life while elevating the experience of living. Her process begins with listening. Genevieve places great emphasis on understanding her clients’ needs, values and aspirations, translating them into spaces that feel authentic, intuitive and entirely their own.
Her ability to interpret a diverse range of briefs allows her to shape interiors that are always tailored, unified by her signature warmth, layered texture, and material sensitivity.
Genevieve is deeply involved at every stage of the studio’s work, from initial concept development through to the final curation of furniture, art and objects. She brings both creative vision and technical expertise to each project.
Working closely with a trusted network of architects, makers and artisans, Genevieve leads a studio committed to producing work that is grounded, enduring, and quietly expressive - a reflection of place, personality, and purpose.
