Where intuition leads

Our Philosophy

Life can be busy, demanding—and wonderful—yet sometimes overwhelming.

Wouldn’t it be great to simplify your home so everything has its place and every space truly serves you?

At The Designary, we exist to bring clarity and calm to the spaces you live in by combining four core principles: independence — freedom to specify the very best products and materials without being tied to any single supplier; intentionality — ensuring every lighting choice, layout adjustment, and finish is carefully considered; people‑centred design — where your story, lifestyle, and needs guide every decision; and elevated simplicity — creating timeless, considered spaces that feel effortless to live in.

With decades of combined experience across executive households and family homes throughout the UK and beyond, The Designary delivers curated, high‑quality proposals that transform your house into a home — a beautiful backdrop for your life.

“Clever design really can make a difference.”

The defining moment…

Meet the Founder, Anthony de Wynter

Many years of working for others taught me that I thrive at the forefront of ideas — problem-solving, developing concepts, and leading the creative process. Combine that with what some might call a natural gift for design, and a deep intuition for understanding people’s needs, and you get a pretty accurate picture of my journey so far.

A client once said:
“It’s like you climbed into my mind, rummaged through all the detritus in there, and delivered exactly what I wanted.”

That peculiar ability — to tune in, translate, and design something deeply personal — is what led me to start The Designary: a multi-disciplinary studio without bias and no pressure to push products just because they’re part of a particular or limited supplier range. I’m not tied to any one brand or catalogue, so every decision is made with your needs in mind — not sales targets or stock lists. That kind of design-by-numbers approach never sat well with me — and it’s exactly why I set out to do things differently.

Your home should be a reflection of who you are — not just how you want it to look, but how you want it to feel. At The Designary, we design from the inside out — putting people, flow, and purpose before surface style. There’s so much more to a home than an arrangement of rooms filled with things, and our holistic approach doesn’t just save time and stress — it creates spaces that support the way you live, and the way you want to feel in your own home.
