Siobhan Casey
Interior Designer & Art Curator
Casey & Fox Ltd
Hello, I’m Siobhan—founder of Casey & Fox, an interior design studio based in Sanderstead. I work with design-loving homeowners across South London and Surrey to craft beautifully curated interiors that feel deeply personal, visually striking, and full of soul.
Your home should feel like you—lived-in, layered, and rich with stories. I help clients create bold, characterful spaces that reflect who they are (and who they’re becoming). Expect colour with confidence, artwork that starts conversations, and lighting that sets the mood from morning to midnight.
Whether you’re stuck on a single room or planning a full renovation, I offer design support at every stage—from creative clarity calls to detailed design plans and sourcing one-of-a-kind pieces that bring your space to life.
Services include:
– Online design consultations
– Full bespoke interior design
– Lighting design & specification
– Art sourcing and curation
If you’re local to South London or Surrey and dreaming of a home with more personality, let’s talk.

In addition, we make other home furnishings including bespoke loose furniture covers, cushions and fabric headboards; all of which enable you to tie together your interior design schemes and put a unique stamp on your home. We can also bring back old favourites to life – such as Granny’s bedroom chair which is not fit to be seen in public anymore!! Pieces that are far too good to dispose of!!
