About Us 


Educated in Interior Design at the renowned Chelsea College of Arts in London, Lisa Roberts-Goldner founded The Open Plan in 2008. Uninspired by the bland and generic interiors  seen in so many homes and business,  The Open Plan team prides itself on delivering fresh and personal alternatives to its commercial and residential clients alike.



Clients and Experience

During her extensive career Lisa has worked for many design companies, including award-winning architects Terry Farrell, Paint & Paper Library and Walton Ceramics in Chelsea. In this time she has worked alongside top interior designers including Suzy Hoodless,  Nina Campbell, Prue Lane Fox, John Colefax, Rabih Hage and Michael Reeves. She also designed top-end, bespoke interiors for Plain English, where she was employed as a Senior Designer.

Lisa has also put her knowledge of architecture and design to good use in media production as a consultant to the TV and film industry for one of the longest established location agencies in London.

She has also worked as a stylist for interiors magazines, advertising campaigns and Chelsea Harbour Design Centre.

Currently, as well as running her own busy design studio, she has launched her own online-only design service, The Open Plan ONLINE.

Testimonials

“I would highly recommend Lisa at The Open Plan. She spent a lot of time working with us over a few sessions to understand our hopes for our house, our style, the practicalities and our budget, and she worked her magic to bring all of that together into a coherent plan, with choices for us. She "got" us and what we wanted, and we feel really confident that using her ideas and tips, our house is going to look so much better. She is also a delight to work with!”
Shalini Sequeira, Client
“I have worked with Lisa on a number of projects. She has great enthusiasm and a keen attention to detail. She has a unique quirky eye for design and is great at sourcing products/ideas and research. She is a fun person to work with, always original in her designs and thoughts and an experienced all round designer.”
- GABRIEL HOLLAND, OWNER, GABRIEL HOLLAND INTERIOR DESIGN
“Part of my job is to pick out beautifully-designed Plain English kitchens for editorial features. Lisa's kitchens were always always a treat to photograph: she's an exceptionally creative designer and always worked well with clients who wanted to push the boundaries. Her kitchens were easy to place in magazines.”
 - CRIONA PALMER, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, PLAIN ENGLISH DESIGN LTD
