Winning his first job over 35 years ago with one of the world's leading hotel designers Frank Solano, and then moving on to work with interior design giant John Stefanidis, Steven Payne has gone on to build his own thriving interior design practice. Due to his wealth of knowledge within the design industry he also is called upon by other leading design companies to collaborate with or to consult for.

Steven likes to work with his clients rather than for them, examining and discussing every facet of their lives until he can draw out their exact requirements. As a result no two projects look the same, but there is a confidence and sense of order that runs through all of his work. The practicality and level of comfort in Steven’s residential work have an echo in luxury hotels, combined with the truly bespoke personal detailing that is appropriate for a private home. It is a personal endeavour for Payne regardless of scope, brief, budget or location, each home, each project, will be given his full attention.

Steven was a Director of Membership at the British Institute of Interior Design and is a current member. He has also been listed in House and Garden Magazines top 100 leading designers in the UK four times.
