Studio 3 Creatives is a boutique interior design studio, led by Abby Laybourne, bringing together rigorous professional discipline, creative intuition, and a deeply human-centred approach to design. Studio 3 works with couples and families to design the homes they intend to grow into and stay in – typically period properties across South West London. Abby is known for her clarity of thought, her material intelligence, and her ability to hold a brief and a budget with precision throughout the life of a project.

 

Working with Abby means working directly with her. There are no handoffs. Every project receives her full attention, from initial concept to final installation, and the relationships that form along the way tend to last well beyond it.

Before founding Studio 3, Abby built an 18-year career in professional services, working at a senior level with some of the UK’s leading organisations. That background shapes how she works: rigorous where it matters, and deeply intuitive where it counts, bringing clarity and structure to a process that is, at its heart, a very personal one.
