Design that begins with listening.

I'm Rhiannon, and I believe the best interiors start with understanding how you actually live.

I grew up surrounded by people who understood that a home is more than a backdrop to life. My Mediterranean grandmother, a woman with an instinctive love for textiles, natural materials, and the art of making people feel welcome, and my mother, who taught me to find beauty in nature, in buildings, in historical artefacts, shaped the way I see every space I walk into.

I trained at KLC School of Design and have spent years working at the intersection of travel, craft, and design. Long summers in the Mediterranean; the quality of light, the layered textures and the ease of living in spaces built for real people became my greatest reference point, not as an aesthetic to replicate, but as a feeling to translate.

That feeling is what Studio Santos is built around. Homes that are warm, considered, and designed for an aspirational way of living, where every element, the materials, the light, the air quality, and the natural finishes, contributes to a physical and emotional sense of wellbeing that you feel before you can explain it.

My clients are often busy people managing full lives who don't have time to second-guess every decision. They want someone they can trust completely, a genuinely transparent process, and a result that exceeds what they imagined.

That is what I am here to deliver.


"I am not interested in homes that look beautiful in photographs but feel cold to live in. I want to design spaces where people feel genuinely well and never want to leave."

— Rhiannon Santos-Binney, Founder


What makes this studio different

  • Unlike many studios, I pass trade discounts directly to you. You get access to the best suppliers at the best prices, with complete transparency.

  • Every project follows the same six-phase framework, aligned with the RIBA process of work. You will always know exactly where we are, what comes next, and what you are paying for.

  • I don't take on more work than I can do exceptionally well. Your project gets my full attention, always.

  • I work closely with Surrey's international community, particularly families arriving from abroad who need a home that feels settled before they land. If you are relocating, I can make that transition seamless.

Based in Cobham. Rooted in Surrey.

Studio Santos is based in Cobham, at the heart of Surrey's premium residential market. I work across the county and beyond, with a particular connection to the international school communities in the area, where so many families are building new lives.

If you are new to Surrey or planning a move here, I would love to help you feel at home.
