Essential Elements of an English Home: Interior Architecture, The English Home

Queensdale and Founder Fiona Paré are featured in the May issue of The English Home, contributing expert insight into what defines great interior architecture.

This multi-page feature by Emma J Page explores the fixed elements that give a home both structure and soul – from staircases and doorways to joinery, lighting and flow. The article considers how a well-composed architectural foundation can enhance both the function and atmosphere of a space.

Fiona Paré shares: “A solid architectural framework allows the interior design elements, such as lighting and furnishings, to elevate the space seamlessly. If the interior architecture is neglected, the space may not feel cohesive, whether that’s something as fundamental as a staircase or a key structural element like a wall.”

The piece reflects Queensdale’s guiding belief: that understanding how a space is built and how people move through it is essential to designing a home that works and lasts. We empower our members to take on both the creative and structural aspects of renovation with confidence and care.
