“We love the huge variety of briefs. No project is the same, and each one brings its own challenges and rewards.

It’s our job to develop the brief with our clients, gently encourage them out of their comfort zones, and bring them along on that design journey. In the end, we want our clients to feel like it’s their home - their personality, their belongings - and that their vision has been brought to life.”

The studio is named after a river in the south of France, where Melissa was lucky enough to spend her childhood summers...

“I knew I didn’t want to use my name for the business, but equally it needed to be something personal and meaningful.

I lost my father at a young age, but I have such strong and happy memories from those summers. I have him to thank for my determination, work ethic and creativity, so Studio Lizonne is an ode to him.

He also enjoyed a Bordeaux red, so we’ve woven a deep burgundy into the brand colours, along with a blue to represent the river and a green for the vineyards.”
