In a world that’s always on, sometimes the most indulgent thing you can do is simply switch off – from the deadlines, the noise and the demands…
It’s here that a modern study really comes into its own.
Far removed from the single-focus spaces of the past, today our beautiful, bespoke home offices are designed to flex.
These are rooms where you can be productive when needed, and slow down when you choose – thoughtfully crafted sanctuaries that are places for your passions as well as your productivity; for your rituals as well as your responsibilities.
Ready when you’re delivering a crucial project and equally valuable when you’re planning an escape, journaling through a slow Sunday or helping your child with their homework, a Neville Johnson study is for those who think beyond the world of work – and want a space that does the same.
The room that started it all
At Neville Johnson, the home study is part of our design DNA – it’s where our story began 40 years ago, and where many of our clients’ stories begin too.
So, as we celebrate 40 years of craftsmanship, it feels only right to honour the room that started it all – reimagined for how we live now.
Built for much more than meetings, our studies are designed for the moments that matter to you and your family – but how do we create stylish and versatile home offices that feel uniquely yours?
A space that reflects you
We approach every study with the same goal: to make it feel effortlessly personal – a quiet backdrop for the life you want to live.
Whether you’re sketching your next big idea or sipping coffee while planning your next escape, it should feel like your space, through and through.
Of course, beautiful design is always the foundation.
But what matters just as much is how a room works – 1how it supports your habits, your headspace and your home life.
In our view, a truly thoughtful study should deliver 3 simple yet powerful things:
- A sense of calm, balance and complete ownership.
- A place for everything – with lighting, layout and storage all meticulously planned.
- And it should serve the needs, interests and aspirations of you and your family, not just your profession.
Work, wellness and creative expression
One of the most joyful shifts we’ve seen in recent years? It’s that more homeowners are reclaiming their studies as spaces for self-expression.
It’s a shift that’s opened the door to all kinds of creative briefs – from paint-and-sip nooks to calligraphy corners; podcast setups to moodboard zones. We’ve created homes for collections, stations for sewing and shelves that spark inspiration.
Dedicated wellness spaces have come high on the list for clients too, combining office functions with home studio elements for the ultimate blend of productivity and peace.
For today’s design-led homeowners, these spaces offer a chance to curate cherished interests in the same way you might a wardrobe or wine cellar – reflecting a lifestyle that values considered living as much as conscious downtime.
And because Neville Johnson studies are entirely bespoke, we can create something that works beautifully for your interests, whatever they may be.
From custom-sized storage and lighting schemes that shift with your mood to surfaces that adapt from crafting to writing to tech, we can design spaces that provide the supporting act for the things that give you joy.
Master plans to meaningful moments
It’s easy to think of a study as a place to do big work.
But we firmly believe that some of its best moments happen after the day’s demands are done; when it becomes a purposeful space for the small, satisfying moments that quietly enrich your life.
From picking your next read from a beautifully lit shelf or ticking off life admin with intention to simply enjoying a Sunday paper in peace, these micro-moments are the ones that enhance the everyday.
They deserve a room that makes them feel intentional, not incidental – and when your study is designed to support them, with intuitive design, warm lighting and storage that makes sense?
They become not just routine parts of your day, but rituals in their own right.
The new status symbol? stillness
We’ve seen the success of rooms that say something in the world of luxury interiors: garden studios, Home Bars and dressing rooms among them.
Now? It’s time for home studies to have their own moment.
These are spaces that speak to culture, creativity and calm – housing the things you love to collect or curate, the routines that ground you and the rituals that bring meaning to your day.
And these rooms, when they’re not defined purely by dual monitors and deadlines, become something far more valuable: a quiet celebration of identity, intellect and that rarest of luxuries, stillness.
Designed to inspire and restore
Of course, stillness doesn’t happen by chance.
It’s shaped by light and layout; materials and mood.
Whether it’s a soft-toned palette that soothes the senses or premium finishes that add richness and depth, the design choices you make define how a room makes you feel, not just how it looks.
In the stunning study above, which features our timeless Wentworth style, the brief was clear: a space that felt serene yet personal.
The result?
The tranquil backdrop of our Earthy Green paired with our warm Calder Oak finish creates a gentle, grounding contrast that gives a quiet nod to nature and heritage, but with a contemporary twist.
And there’s elegance in every detail: cabinetry designed to conceal clutter, built-in shelving to display what matters, a personalised desk space, lighting that shifts with the time of day…
It’s a study that offers more than function alone; a home for habits, hobbies and headspace – and an effortless reflection of our clients’ needs and lifestyle.
