Decodence is an award-winning interior architecture and design studio based in Berwick-upon-Tweed, working with clients across the UK. We specialise in creating interiors that combine aesthetic excellence with practical functionality and measurable value, covering residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors.

Our expertise spans refurbishments, redesigns, holiday lets, HMOs, extensions, and new builds. Each project is approached holistically, with services ranging from space planning and permissions to styling, sourcing, and project management. By integrating interior architecture with interior design, we deliver schemes that are both beautifully detailed and structurally considered.

Decodence’s philosophy is to provide design as an investment. Whether maximising property equity, boosting rental potential, or enhancing everyday living, our work is tailored to both client needs and long-term outcomes.

Professionalism, collaboration, and attention to detail underpin every stage of our process. We manage projects seamlessly alongside contractors, architects, and consultants, ensuring clarity and confidence for our clients. Our team is also committed to industry development, mentoring future designers through partnerships with Heriot-Watt University.

Recognised with multiple national awards, Decodence has been praised for its creativity, responsiveness, and ability to deliver interiors that elevate lifestyle, brand identity, and return on investment.

At Decodence, we believe every space should perform as beautifully as it looks—and we bring this ethos to every project we undertake.
