The Studio

Studio Bond is a design studio based in Oxford, specialising in homes for those who value thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship.

We know that no two homes are the same. Each one has its own proportions, character and light. Through a contemporary lens, we design spaces that reflect the people who live in them, their stories, interests and values. Wherever possible, we restore rather than replace, blending the old with the new and leaving room for the next chapter to unfold.

Our spaces are understated, elegant and carefully considered. We pay close attention to colour, texture and materials, weaving them together to form a cohesive whole. The result is a home with quiet symbolism and meaning, tailored to the life it holds.

The founder

Juneko Gardner-Bond is the founder and lead designer at Studio Bond, where she brings a quietly refined approach to interior architecture and design.

Her career began in fashion, with over a decade working for renowned names such as Asprey, Dover Street Market and Harvey Nichols. As a Buyer, she developed a finely tuned eye for detail, understanding fabric, colour and proportion. This experience continues to inform her interior work, where the same principles of balance, quality and curation apply.

After relocating from London to Oxfordshire in 2019 and studying Interior Design at Chelsea College of Art, Juneko founded Studio Bond to create homes that are elegant, understated and deeply personal. She believes that how we furnish our homes is a form of self-expression, not unlike how we dress.

Juneko´s work draws on the character of each building and its setting, layering natural materials, curated colour and meaningful objects to create spaces that feel both elevated and lived in.

Studio Bond is driven by Juneko’s belief in function without excess, beauty without pretence, and the idea that the most successful spaces are those that allow life to unfold with ease.

The approach

At Studio Bond, our approach is rooted in empathy, clarity and respect, for the people we design for and the buildings we work with.

We begin each project by listening. Every home holds its own history, proportions and light, and rather than impose a signature style or follow fleeting trends, we respond to what’s already there, drawing from the building’s vernacular and the client’s values to create something layered and deeply personal.

We believe a home should reflect the people who live in it. Our process is collaborative and considered, guiding clients with warmth and honesty to help them make confident, meaningful decisions. Whether restoring original details or introducing new elements, we aim to balance function and beauty, simplicity and richness.

Design classics might sit next to vintage finds or bespoke pieces made by local craftspeople. Each choice is intentional, selected for its quality, symbolism or sense of place.

The result is a home that feels timeless and entirely one of a kind. Not just somewhere to live, but a space that quietly enhances daily life.

our commitmenT

Sustainability is woven into everything we do at Studio Bond.

We believe that good design should be thoughtful, not only in how it looks and functions, but in how it’s made and where it comes from.

We prioritise working with local craftspeople and independent businesses, supporting our community while reducing environmental impact. Wherever possible, we choose sustainable materials, whether that’s reclaimed timber for joinery, low-impact finishes, or natural textiles that age gracefully.

Our aim is to create enduring spaces that are both beautiful and responsible. Every decision is made with care, balancing aesthetics, longevity, and a conscious respect for the world around us.

Common Doubts & FAQs

  • Studio Bond is intentionally selective with the projects we take on. For full-scope work, we typically work with one client at a time to ensure each project receives our full attention and care. This allows us to stay closely involved in every detail and maintain the quality and thoughtfulness our work is known for.

  • This depends on the scope and complexity of your project. Most projects can begin within six months of agreement, but smaller consultations or early-stage planning may start sooner. Once we understand your needs, we’ll give you a clear idea of timelines and next steps.

  • Yes, we offer several options for overseas properties. Depending on your needs, we can provide virtual consultations, full design packages with handover to a local project manager, or full-scope services where feasible.

  • Not at all. Whether you have a clear vision or feel unsure where to start, there’s no pressure. Studio Bond’s role is to understand your family’s tastes, needs, and way of living and translate that into a home that feels truly yours. We’ll help tease out what matters most and guide you through the process with care and clarity.

  • Refurbishing a home is a significant investment, and it’s natural to want clarity before committing. At Studio Bond, we provide clear, transparent information at every stage of the process, including exactly what’s included and what to expect. You’ll have ample opportunity to ask questions, explore options, and resolve any doubts so you can move forward with confidence.

  • We’re flexible and will tailor our approach to suit your availability. Some clients prefer to be closely involved, while others are happy for us to take the lead. Whether you want to collaborate at every stage or need us to manage things fully on your behalf, we’ll adapt to make the process smooth and manageable for you.

  • Yes, all client communication is handled directly by Juneko, the founder and lead designer. While Studio Bond collaborates with a trusted network of contractors and specialists, you’ll always have a single point of contact throughout the project.

  • It’s never too early. The ideal time to contact us is when you’re beginning to think about how to reconfigure your home, around the same time you might be looking for an architect. Whether you’re still exploring ideas or already clear on what you want to achieve, we can help shape the vision from the very beginning and ensure the design aligns with how you want your home to look, feel, and function.
