HoWA Home

Home & garden design

Work out what your space could become.

Show HoWA the room or garden, the things you want to keep and the way you'd like to use it. Explore ideas around your taste, your budget and the place itself.

Design: a room turned into a first direction, with the HoWA sketch drawn over it.

Explore the idea

Try layouts, finishes and visual directions. Save what you like, change what you don't and explain why. Each choice helps develop the brief.

Find what belongs there

Compare products with the design and the space. Check a piece of furniture against the measurements or a plant against the garden's growing conditions before choosing it.

Carry it into the work

Develop a brief for a designer, review proposals and coordinate the next stage. The Designer's Brief gives a garden project a structured route from your preferences and site information to a brief ready for professional review.

Visualisations explore an idea. Fit checks use measurements; technical design and building work need the appropriate professional input.

The structured brief

  • A calm, plaster-toned scheme that lets the room's light do the work.
  • Furniture re-planned around conversation, with a quiet reading nook by the window.
  • Natural oak, flax linen and aged brass: warm, and made to wear well.
  • A media wall built into joinery, not bolted on.

A sample first direction, not a final design. It is not a technical drawing set, planning advice or a final quotation.

Start with the space

Use photos, room scans and measurements to describe what is there. HoWA works with the dimensions, light, existing furniture or planting, and the practical limits that matter to your project.

Hanging art in a contemporary room, shaping a space around how it is really used.

Start with something you want done.

Start with the garden you want to care for, the room you'd like to change or the week you need to organise. See how HoWA can help.
