Michael Dykes
Co-founder of Dykes & Dykes, Michael brings an infectious enthusiasm and a certified eye for design to each project.
A proud alumnus of The Glasgow School of Art, he has honed his skills across a diverse portfolio that spans building design, commercial spaces, and luxurious residential interiors throughout the country. In his hands, the functional considerations of a space seamlessly merge with aesthetic opulence. Michael thrives on immersing himself in on-site intricacies and building personal connections with clients to understand their needs deeply; his true passion lies in crafting design solutions that transcend expectations and stand the test of time.
Beyond the drawing board, Michael is an self-taught foodie who can whip up a dish from just about anything. Notably, he's also your go-to for finding items you thought were forever lost — a true household Sherlock.
Marlies Dykes
Co-founder of Dykes & Dykes, Marlies is the epitome of organisational excellence.
Armed with a 1st Class Hons Degree in Management, she is the equilibrium that balances each creative endeavour, ensuring projects are flawlessly executed on time and within budget. Her keen eye for emerging trends not only keeps our designs ahead of the curve but also offers clients a chance to be trendsetters in their own right. Her vast professional background, from steering corporate events to designing wedding schemes, equips her with a multifaceted skill set that ensures each project is not only aesthetically aligned but also impeccably organised and executed.
When she's not orchestrating a design project to perfection, she's likely brewing an impeccable cup of tea or giving the best, most heartwarming hugs to anything furry on four legs.
our studio
Our studio space perfectly reflects our refined design philosophy, seamlessly blending wabi-sabi, rustic Mediterranean, timeless classic and contemporary styles — all underscored by an ethos of quiet, enduring luxury.
It's the perfect space to collaborate on your interior styling, pulling together fabrics, furniture, flooring and wall coverings as we bring your vision to life.
Complementing our design studio, our adjoined retail space, 'West', allows our clients and those with a discerning eye to infuse their homes with our signature aesthetic. Here, you'll find a thoughtfully curated selection of homewares and bespoke styling accents, handpicked intentionally.
Let's embark on this journey together.
Rooted in the boutique ethos of intimate collaboration and enduring quality, our goal is to translate your vision into spaces that not only serve as a backdrop to life's moments but elevate them. Each project we undertake is a unique tapestry, seamlessly woven and perfectly aligned with you.
