Ester Ford
Designer and Interior Stylist
I’m Ester, founder and lead designer at Maquette Interiors, an interior design and styling studio based in Bristol.
I’ve worked in design for 20 years. I started in the fashion industry, then built my own kidswear brand, and along the way I learned how to develop a concept, work to a brief and see a project through from first sketch to finished product. In the last few years I’ve brought that experience into interiors. I began with property staging in early 2024 and quickly moved into full interior design projects for residential and commercial clients, most recently a large office scheme.
My background in Bristol’s property market shapes how I design. I understand how a space is used, how it’s seen and what adds value, so every scheme I create is as practical as it is beautiful. I offer interior design consultations and full design projects, colour consultations, property staging and styling.
Alongside client work, I write the Maquette Interiors blog. It covers design advice, project insights and the ongoing renovation of my own Victorian home in Bristol, where I live with my family. I work with brands whose products and values match my own, through collaborations, features and partnerships.
Tess Knight
Visual Merchandiser and Interior Stylist
I’m Tess and I live on the outskirts of Bristol with my partner, two kids and two crazy chihuahuas. I have a passion for interior styling and fashion. Having worked in visual merchandising in London and Bristol for over 10 years, and then starting a family, I embarked on a career in interior styling and property staging.
Jack Ford
Photographer & Videographer
I'm Jack, the one behind the camera at Maquette Interiors. I've been working professionally in photo and video for 20 years, much of it as a freelance lifestyle photographer, and more recently I've turned my lens towards property, working with homeowners, designers, architects and creatives across Bristol to capture their spaces at their very best.
