PHOLIO is a design agency established by Laura Wells in 2020 with a focus on the creative direction of residential interiors and hospitality spaces and the procurement of fixtures, furnishing, art and decor.
PHILOSOPHY
PHOLIO approaches every project with the belief that design goes beyond surface aesthetics, shaping how people feel, live, and interact within a space. A well-considered environment has the power to energise, calm, and inspire, influencing not only the visual experience but also mindset, productivity, and overall well-being.
Our process is rooted in the understanding that spaces are deeply personal and should tell a story—whether that’s honouring heritage, reflecting a client’s individuality, or creating a sense of harmony with the surrounding context. By blending functionality with beauty, PHOLIO designs spaces that are purposeful, enduring, and tailored to the way people live.
ABOUT LAURA WELLS
A multi-disiplinary creative in the truest form, Laura is an artist first and foremost who lives and breathes interiors, styling and design. Her artistic knowledge is paramount to her work; layering spaces with the principles of form, scale and colour she applies to a canvas. Fused with functionality, Laura works to the ideals of bringing beauty to the everyday. The resulting spaces are considered, elevated and always detail driven.
