Interior Designer in London
Curator of Extraordinary Living Experiences
When our client invited us to her Belgravia townhouse last spring, she presented a delicate challenge. Her Georgian residence, inherited from three generations of impeccable taste, required modernisation without compromising its distinguished heritage. The morning light streaming through those magnificent sash windows illuminated rooms that whispered stories of elegant soirées, yet failed to accommodate the realities of contemporary London living.
As London’s premier interior designer, we have had the distinct privilege of transforming some of the capital’s most prestigious addresses. From the drawing rooms of Mayfair mansions to the penthouse suites overlooking Hyde Park, our practice has become synonymous with discretion, excellence, and an unwavering commitment to creating spaces that reflect the sophisticated sensibilities of our clientele.
For over fifteen years, we have cultivated relationships with Europe’s finest artisans, sourced materials from the world’s most exclusive suppliers, and developed an intimate understanding of how London’s most accomplished residents wish to live. Our studio, nestled in the heart of Mayfair, serves as both sanctuary and showroom – a testament to our philosophy that true luxury lies not in ostentation, but in the perfect harmony of beauty, comfort, and functionality.
Residential Interior Design
The art of residential interior design transcends mere decoration; it is the delicate orchestration of space, light, and form to create environments that nurture the soul whilst reflecting one’s personal narrative. Our residential commissions span from the grand terraces of Kensington to the contemporary developments of Canary Wharf, each project approached with the reverence it deserves.
Consider the recent transformation of a distinguished banker’s residence in Hampstead. The Victorian villa possessed magnificent proportions yet lacked the subtle sophistication required for entertaining international colleagues. Through meticulous material selection, bespoke furniture design, and carefully curated art placement, we created a home that honours its architectural heritage whilst embracing contemporary elegance.
Our residential interior design philosophy centers upon the belief that one’s home should be a reflection of their finest aspirations. We eschew trends in favour of timeless elegance, selecting pieces that will mature gracefully and provide enduring pleasure. Each commission begins with extensive consultation, allowing us to understand not merely your aesthetic preferences, but your lifestyle, your dreams, and your family’s evolving needs.
Recetion Rooms
Creating spaces worthy of your most distinguished guests, where conversation flows as elegantly as the champagne and every detail speaks to your refined taste.
Private Quarters
Designing intimate retreats that provide sanctuary from London’s demands whilst maintaining the highest standards of comfort and beauty.
Family Spaces
Balancing the needs of contemporary family life with the elegance expected in London’s finest homes, creating warmth without compromising sophistication.
Kitchen Design
The modern kitchen has evolved beyond mere culinary functionality to become the heart of sophisticated entertaining. Our kitchen design practice recognises that today’s discerning homeowners require spaces that accommodate both intimate family moments and grand dinner parties with equal aplomb.
A recent commission in Richmond exemplifies our approach. The clients, both accomplished chefs in their own right, required a kitchen that could support serious culinary endeavours whilst maintaining the aesthetic standards befitting their Grade II listed residence. We specified handcrafted cabinetry from a century-old Austrian workshop, paired with the finest German engineering.
Our kitchen design process begins with understanding your culinary aspirations. Do you favour intimate dinner parties or grand receptions? Will your kitchen serve as a private retreat or the social heart of your home? These considerations inform every decision, from the selection of bespoke hardware to the placement of each carefully chosen appliance.
Commercial Interior Design
London’s most successful enterprises understand that their physical environment speaks as eloquently as their balance sheets. Our commercial interior design practice serves boardrooms, private offices, and exclusive member’s clubs where first impressions carry the weight of million-pound decisions and lasting relationships.
When Harrington & Associates approached us to redesign their Lincoln’s Inn chambers, the brief was clear: maintain the gravitas expected of London’s oldest legal practice whilst creating an environment that attracts and retains the brightest legal minds. We preserved the magnificent oak panelling and restored the original plasterwork, whilst introducing contemporary lighting and carefully selected modern furniture that speaks to both tradition and innovation.
Our commercial projects reflect an understanding that business is conducted between people, and people respond to beauty, comfort, and attention to detail. Whether designing a Mayfair hedge fund’s reception area or a Savile Row tailor’s showroom, we create environments that honour your professional legacy whilst supporting your commercial ambitions.
Exclusive Offices
Designing spaces that command respect whilst providing the comfort and functionality required for decisive leadership
Reception Areas
Creating first impressions that speak to your company’s values, heritage, and aspirations before a word is spoken.
Private Clubs
Crafting environments that foster discretion, conversation, and the kind of relationships that define London’s business landscape.
Furniture Selection
True connoisseurship in furniture selection requires not merely an eye for beauty, but an understanding of provenance, craftsmanship, and the subtle alchemy that transforms individual pieces into cohesive collections. Our furniture selection process draws upon relationships cultivated over decades with Europe’s most distinguished makers and the world’s most exclusive auction houses.
Each piece we recommend carries its own story. The Regency bergère discovered in a Parisian antiquaire’s private collection. The contemporary Italian dining table crafted by third-generation cabinetmakers using techniques unchanged since the Renaissance. The bespoke lighting commissioned from London’s last remaining guild craftsmen.
We understand that furniture represents both investment and inheritance. Our selections are guided not by fashion, but by enduring quality, timeless design, and the assurance that each piece will provide pleasure for generations. Whether sourcing a single statement piece or furnishing an entire residence, we approach each selection with the gravity it deserves.
Custom Furniture Design
When perfection cannot be found, it must be created. Our custom furniture design service exists for those moments when even the world’s finest antiques and contemporary pieces fall short of your vision. Working exclusively with master craftsmen whose skills have been refined across generations, we bring to life furniture that exists nowhere else in the world.
A recent commission exemplifies our approach: a library table for a distinguished collector’s Bloomsbury residence. The piece needed to accommodate rare manuscripts whilst complementing the room’s Georgian proportions and the client’s collection of contemporary British art. Our craftsmen created a piece that appears as though it has graced the room for centuries, yet incorporates modern conveniences and conservation requirements invisible to the casual observer.
Our custom furniture design process begins with understanding your space, your needs, and your aesthetic vision. We then translate these requirements into technical drawings, select appropriate materials and techniques, and oversee every aspect of creation until the finished piece graces your home with the dignity it deserves
Material Selection
The foundation of lasting beauty lies in the selection of materials that age gracefully, perform flawlessly, and reward the touch as generously as they please the eye. Our material selection expertise draws upon intimate knowledge of suppliers from the silk weavers of Lyon to the stone carvers of Tuscany, ensuring that every surface in your home meets the highest standards of both beauty and performance.
London’s climate presents particular challenges that inferior materials cannot withstand. We specify only those fabrics, stones, and finishes that have proven themselves across centuries of British weather. The Italian marble that graces your entrance hall has been tested against London’s winter dampness. The French silks adorning your drawing room windows have been treated to resist the city’s challenging light conditions whilst retaining their lustre for decades.
Our material selection process considers not only immediate aesthetic impact, but long-term performance, maintenance requirements, and the way materials will evolve with time and use. We believe that true luxury lies in materials that become more beautiful with age, developing the patina and character that cannot be manufactured, only earned through years of gracious living.

The Distinction of Our Practice
After fifteen years serving London’s most distinguished residents, we have learned that true luxury cannot be purchased from a catalogue or replicated from a magazine. It emerges from the thoughtful consideration of how you wish to live, the careful selection of elements that support that vision, and the masterful orchestration of details that create harmony from complexity.
Our practice operates upon principles of discretion, excellence, and personalised service that have become increasingly rare in our contemporary world. Each client receives our complete attention, access to our exclusive supplier network, and the assurance that their project will be executed with the meticulous care it deserves.
We do not chase trends or impose our aesthetic upon your home. Instead, we listen carefully to your aspirations, study your lifestyle, and create environments that feel as though they have always been yours, yet somehow transcend your previous imaginings of what home could be.
