Beautiful, Functional and Built Around You

​

Renovating a family home in Surrey or the London commuter belt is about far more than creating something that looks beautiful on Instagram (although it absolutely will).

It’s about designing spaces that work effortlessly for the way you actually live — from busy weekday mornings to relaxed Sunday lunches and the occasional dinner party that starts with “just a few people” and somehow ends with ten pairs of shoes by the door.

​

At Emma Merry Styling, we specialise in guiding homeowners through family home renovations across Surrey, South West London and the wider commuter belt, helping them create calm, practical spaces that feel beautifully considered.

With over eight years’ experience renovating family homes, we understand how to balance thoughtful design with the realities of everyday life.

​

Our work has been featured in Homes & Gardens and Country Homes & Interiors, and the studio has received the Houzz Award for Design and Customer Service for the past six consecutive years. Most importantly, we’ve been trusted by over 68 families to help them transform their homes.

​

Because the most successful renovations aren’t simply beautiful  they are carefully planned from the start.

​

Why Early Renovation Planning Matters

One of the biggest differences between a renovation that feels calm and organised and one that becomes stressful often comes down to when design guidance is introduced.

Many homeowners begin with architect’s drawings and builders’ quotes, only to realise later that important design decisions haven’t yet been considered.

​

That’s where early renovation planning makes a significant difference.

​

When we are involved at the beginning of a project, we help homeowners step back and look at the house as a whole. We review layouts, circulation, kitchen positioning, storage, lighting and how spaces will function day to day.

It’s often during these early conversations that we identify the things homeowners didn’t realise they needed to consider.

​

For example:

• Does the layout allow the kitchen to connect properly with the garden?

• Is there enough storage for coats, school bags and everyday family life?

• Would the space work better as a generous kitchen-family room rather than a formal reception space?

​

These decisions may seem small, but they have a huge impact on how a home feels once the renovation is complete.
