Biography

Beata was born in Sweden and set up her London interior design practice in 2013. The Studio's work is recognisable for its balanced use of colour, clean lines and imaginative details.

In March 2021, Beata published a best-selling book called "Every Room Should Sing". The book is divided into 10 chapters, with each focusing on an element of Beata's design philosophy and featuring one of the Studio's projects.

The Studio's current projects include a home in Hollywood, the reinvigoration of a rural estate in Scotland and the renovation of the Carl Eldh's studio museum in Stockholm. For more information on the Studio's interior design service and philosophy please see How We Work.

About Shoppa

Our "Shoppa" collection of homewares and furnishings is designed entirely in-house and made using a small network of trusted suppliers and craftsmen primarily in Britain and Italy. The first Shoppa item we developed, Marbleized Velvet, was made for a sofa in our first project. The collection has grown organically since – one product at a time – and now incorporates a diverse range of lighting, handles, furniture, rugs, fabrics and wallpapers.

Sold exclusively from our website and the showroom at 188, our ambition is to curate a collection filled with original products that inspire.

RECENT PRESS

Beata Heuman shows her serious side in a landmark London Town House

Architectural Digest

If the ability to shape-shift is one of the true superpowers of an accomplished designer, then underestimate Beata Heuman at your peril. The Swedish-born, London-based AD100 talent is well-known for her delicious designs emboldened with captivating color, a masterful mesh of furnishings, and a smattering of whimsy. But her latest project, a Grade II* listed five-story town house in Kensington, is concrete proof there is more to her creative playbook than meets the eye.

Worlds Elide

The World of Interiors

Commissioned to decorate a recently restored 1870s Manhattan townhouse, the London-based Beata Heuman drew inspiration from the writings of Henry James, particularly his central theme of a decadent, sophisticated Europe confronting the confident ingenuity of the American republic.
