Come home to calm

We create calm spaces. Beautiful, warm, considered interiors that relax and restore. Working together, we’ll help you achieve the home you want and the home you need.

About our studio

The Grey House Yorkshire is a full service, interior design studio with a difference. Based in North Yorkshire, our work is grounded in the principles of Hygge, with our design ethos firmly focused on the promotion of calm and wellbeing. We are passionate about creating beautiful yet mindful spaces, working in partnership with our clients to help them realise the full restorative potential of their homes. In today’s world, we think that matters more than ever.

 

The power of Hygge-led design

Hygge-led design creates homes that are as individual as their owners, yet they share an understated beauty that exudes comfort, calm and connection. Curated not created, Grey House Yorkshire interiors evolve rather than arrive and in true Danish style, manage to look appealing whilst still being both practical and functional.

Clare Geldart

Founder and creative lead

I am an interior designer and stylist with a passion for wellbeing. I am also a certified Hygge practitioner and I believe our homes can actively contribute to our wellbeing. My passion to help others make their homes a key part of their wellbeing journey was born, in large part, out of my own journey.

I experienced for myself the difference that certain design and styling decisions made to my surroundings and the hugely positive and calming influence they had as an antidote to a busy, challenging life. So, I know it works. Now, supported by the eight guiding principles I have developed from my years of experience, I want to support and inspire my clients to live in an environment that nurtures the best version of themselves, that tells their story – and that they never tire of.

“I believe Hygge-led design creates homes that do more. They heal, lift and inspire, because they invite connection, encourage relaxation and restore positive energy.”

Our eight guiding principles

Creating a calm space can often be a lot about following your instincts, but over the years I’ve discovered that certain things seem to work time and time again. Not necessarily specific design or styling choices, but definitely principles. Our eight guiding principles have been developed from my years of experience and they form the foundations of our work at The Grey House Yorkshire.

Our services

We create calm spaces. Considered interiors that delight your senses but also support your wellbeing. We are passionate about design that does more than look good, it has to feel good too. That feeling comes, in part, from having a home that makes your life easier, but it also comes from having a home that brings you joy. The kind of quiet joy that fosters contentment and recharges the spirit so you can start each day strong and ready for anything. When you work with us, you’ll create not just the home you want, but the home you need.

What our clients say

“We inherited a dated kitchen we didn’t love but it wasn’t an option to change it. Clare’s deep understanding of how the elements in a room work together, combined with her resourcefulness and vision, showed us that by altering just one aspect of the room, we could change how we felt about all the others.”

What our clients say

“I cannot thank Clare enough for her help with our home. I had never heard of Hygge before but always wanted our home to be a calm space where we could truly relax and now it is.”

What our clients say

“We didn’t have a huge budget for this project but that didn’t worry Clare. She was able to achieve our vision for our new extension on time and on budget in a way I would never have been able to do myself.”

What our clients say

“We really liked Clare’s ideas. Classy. Simple. Brilliant!”

What our clients say

“Thank you so much, Clare. You have gone above and beyond in so many ways, and I cannot thank you enough.”

What our clients say

“If, like me, you’re stuck for inspiration on how to finish your home, I cannot recommend Clare highly enough. She took the time to understand our style and aspirations and turned it into our real life!”

What our clients say

“An inspired colour choice for the kitchen units, not only made sense of the granite tops we had previously disliked so much, but it lifted everything else about the design – and all without breaking the bank! Suddenly the kitchen felt more contemporary, elegant, cohesive and somewhere we wanted to spend time in.”
