Being talented at what you do doesn’t automatically make running a successful creative business easy.

Whether you’re an interior designer, home stager, mural artist or another creative professional, you may know how to create beautiful work but still find yourself questioning your prices, struggling to communicate your value, accepting projects that aren’t the right fit, or wondering how to attract better clients.

Design for Joy: Studio Sessions is my private one-to-one mentoring programme for creative professionals who are ready to grow with greater clarity, confidence and strategy.

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience running a successful design business, I help creatives to:

• Refine and strengthen their services
• Communicate their value with confidence
• Review their pricing and positioning
• Attract the right clients and projects
• Create simple systems that support their business
• Build a business that fits the life they want to live

These sessions are practical, honest and completely tailored to you, your business and the challenges you’re facing. They can be held in person in Mallorca or online, wherever you’re based.

This isn’t about following someone else’s formula. It’s about discovering your own strengths, making confident decisions and building a creative business that is both commercially successful and genuinely enjoyable to run.

If you’d like to find out more about Studio Sessions, I’d love to hear from you!  Please send me a message.

Hello, and welcome! I’m Justine Knox.

I’m an award-winning British interior designer based in Mallorca, and for more than 20 years I’ve been helping people transform houses into homes that are beautiful, practical and full of joy.

Every project starts the same way—with people. Before we talk about colours, furniture or layouts, I want to understand how you live, what inspires you, and how you want your home to make you feel.

Whether I’m redesigning a single room or managing a complete renovation, my aim is always to create spaces that feel effortless to live in and truly reflect the people who call them home.

I believe great design should do more than look beautiful. It should simplify everyday life, support your wellbeing, and make coming home the best part of your day.

Alongside my full interior design service, I also offer Day with a Designer consultations for homeowners looking for expert guidance, and Studio Sessions, where I mentor creative professionals to build more confident, successful businesses.

If you’re planning a renovation, furnishing a new home, or simply looking for inspiration, I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome to my world of Design for Joy.

Not every interiors project needs a complete redesign.

Sometimes, what you really need is an experienced designer beside you for a day, helping you make decisions, answering the questions and doubts that have been holding you back and seeing the possibilities within your home.

My Day with a Designer service is for you if you want to:

• Create better storage
• Update a tired interior
• Repurpose a room
• Make bolder design choices
• Bring different ideas together
• Prepare and stage a property for sale
• Finally decide what to do with a space that simply is not working

We can look at your home together, talk through your ideas and find practical, creative solutions that suit your space, your lifestyle and your budget.

The aim is to give you clarity, direction and the confidence to move forward, so you can begin creating a home that brings you joy every time you walk through the door.

Justine Knox has every reason to feel happy. She hasn’t even finished the rebranding for her interior design business and already the results are pouring in. Sitting at her desk, dressed in a characteristically colourful top, she has just been checking the progress of her ongoing projects – the latest of which is in Seattle, USA. “I’ve given myself the luxury of time to be really creative and do the best work I can do,” she says. She’s gained time by trusting in her trained and highly competent team to play a larger part in the running of the retail business. 

The exact materials for your home

The retail business refers to the impressive 1000m² showroom and online store in Son Bugadelles. It’s an inspiring space bursting with furniture and home accessories. There’s everything from designer beds to bold textiles and statement pieces. The variety is exciting and it doesn’t stop there. While Justine may be playing a smaller part in the retail side of the business, she will always be actively engaged in searching for new and bespoke products. She believes each home is unique and tracking down the perfect materials and furnishings is an important part of her process. 

Justine’s projects include renovations, new unfurnished homes and plots of land ready to build on. Many of her clients are second homeowners in Mallorca. An increasing number are also asking her to work her magic on their first homes, too. Clients often leave all the decision-making to her which she doesn’t find in the least bit daunting. “I’ve never had a problem with vision. I just look at a blank canvas and see it finished.” 

“The big reveal is what really gets me excited,” she says. “Touch wood I’ve never had anyone turn up and not like what I’ve done.” Big reveals are set to happen all over the world in the near future. With new projects in both Europe and America, this adventurous interior designer is certainly broadening her horizons.
