Hi there, I’m Lisa
A born-and-bred Londoner, designing homes that finally fit
Born & Bred Studio was founded by Lisa Mettis, a true Londoner with a first-class degree from Central Saint Martins and a former career in fashion. Years working with top British retailers sharpened her instinct for style, detail and trend forecasting — skills she now brings to every interior project.
Today, Lisa and the Born & Bred team bring that same trained eye and deep intuition to every home, creating spaces that are refined, tailored and genuinely liveable.
What sets us apart
We lead the process — not just decorate rooms
Our clients are time-poor but have high standards. They want their homes to feel calm, elegant and considered, and they want a professional who can lead the process. That’s exactly what we do.
We take care of the details, prevent costly mishaps, and bring together trusted trades, thoughtful design and seamless communication. It’s a down-to-earth, collaborative approach built on trust, clarity and experience.
Our work has been featured in The New York Times and Living Etc, and we’ve been recognised by Houzz for design and service for 12 consecutive years. But more importantly, our clients come away with homes that feel like a true reflection of who they are and how they live.
