About Bahono

Creating spaces that reflect personality and enhance daily living through thoughtful design and practical solutions.

Our Foundation

Bahono was established in 2015 by a team of three designers who shared a vision for creating interiors that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal. Based in London, we began working on residential projects in Richmond and Islington, focusing on understanding how people interact with their living spaces.

Over the past eight years, we have completed 187 projects across Greater London and the Home Counties. Our portfolio includes apartments in Kensington, townhouses in Hampstead, and contemporary homes in Surrey. Each project reflects our commitment to practical design solutions that suit the way our clients live.

We work with a network of 23 trusted contractors, suppliers, and craftspeople who share our standards for workmanship. This collaboration ensures that projects are completed on schedule and meet the specifications agreed upon at the outset.

What Guides Our Work

Client-Focused Process

We begin each project with detailed consultations to understand requirements, preferences, and budget parameters. Regular communication throughout the design and implementation phases ensures that the final result aligns with expectations.

Practical Functionality

Our designs prioritize how spaces will be used. We consider traffic flow, storage needs, lighting conditions, and maintenance requirements. Aesthetic choices support these practical considerations rather than compromise them.

Sustainable Choices

We source materials from suppliers who demonstrate responsible environmental practices. Where appropriate, we recommend energy-efficient lighting, low-VOC paints, and furniture from manufacturers with verified sustainability credentials.

Transparent Pricing

All project costs are outlined in detailed proposals before work begins. We provide itemized breakdowns of design fees, materials, and contractor charges. Any necessary changes during the project are discussed and approved before implementation.

Our Approach to Interior Design

We view interior design as problem-solving. Each space presents specific challenges related to layout, light, budget, and the needs of those who will use it. Our process involves analyzing these factors and developing solutions that address them effectively.

The team at Bahono includes designers with backgrounds in architecture, furniture design, and project management. This range of expertise allows us to handle projects from initial concept through to final installation, coordinating all aspects of the work.

We maintain long-term relationships with many clients, returning to update spaces as their needs change or to work on additional properties. This ongoing connection provides insight into how our designs function over time and informs our approach to new projects.
