About Design Hunter

Welcome to Design Hunter

Hello and welcome to Design Hunter – a destination for those in search of understated minimal style, everyday luxury and enduring modern design.

Exploring contemporary interiors, architecture, design and lifestyle products, Design Hunter offers a stylish view of beautiful spaces and places through a carefully curated edit of news, finds and inspiration.

Design Hunter was founded by Helen Powell in 2009. Since then it has become one of the UK’s leading interiors, design and lifestyle blogs, reaching thousands of readers every month and with an engaged community of followers on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

Helen Powell – Founder & editor

An interiors writer, social media consultant and photographer, Helen has been featured in publications including The Sunday Times, Enki, Elle Decoration, Domino, The Independent and Good Homes and received the ‘Best Luxury Blog’ award at the Amara Interior Blog Awards in 2014 and 2015 and ‘Best Written Blog’ in 2020. She works on Design Hunter alongside social media and content creation projects from her home in Warwickshire.

Design Hunter reflects Helen’s love of objects that are simple and honest in their design and use of materials, and her belief that the things we choose to live with should help create a home that is inviting, restful and a place of sanctuary.

Graham Powell – Contributing Writer

A designer and design lecturer, Graham regularly writes for the site, bringing a vast wealth of experience and insight to his posts on design and architecture. He also works alongside Helen on projects and collaborations.

Simple purposeful Living

Here at Design Hunter we believe that our homes should be sanctuaries – places where we can retreat from the hectic pace of everyday life and feel truly at ease. We are drawn to minimalist interiors that exemplify simplicity and honesty of design.

We showcase living spaces and designs crafted from tactile natural materials, with clean lines, ample breathing room and a neutral palette that allows textures and subtle details to shine through.

This pared-back aesthetic creates an inviting backdrop that promotes rest, relaxation and reflection. Rather than constantly acquiring more possessions, we focus on choosing intentionally, allowing the things we live with to enhance our daily rituals and activities.

Our aim is to inspire you to create a home that nourishes your mind, body and spirit, where you can feel peaceful and grounded each time you walk through the front door.

Award winning Interiors Inspiration

Design Hunter has been featured in many leading publications including The Sunday Times, Elle Decoration, Domino and Good Housekeeping.

We are also honoured to have been recognised in the Amara Interior Blog Awards on multiple occasions.

We look forward to bringing you more award-winning interiors content in the years to come.
