Interior Designers in London
Designed to be built
Interiors that look as good on the day you move in as they did on the drawings.
Our interior design work covers private homes, restaurants, shops and offices. We plan the space, design the joinery and lighting, select the materials and furniture, and produce drawings detailed enough to build from. Because we also build, every interior is designed with the site, the budget and the lead times in mind, not just the moodboard.
Interior design in London for homes, restaurants and workplaces.
What we design
Space planning
How the space is laid out and used, from the flow of a restaurant floor to the way a family lives in a house.
Joinery and bespoke details
Kitchens, wardrobes, counters, shelving and display, drawn and detailed so they can be made and installed properly.
Lighting
Lighting layouts and fittings that support the design and the way the space is used, coordinated with the electrical design.
Materials and finishes
Floors, walls, stone, timber, metalwork and paint, chosen for how they look, wear and can be maintained.
Furniture and FF&E
Furniture, fittings and equipment selected, scheduled and coordinated with the rest of the design.
Kitchens and bathrooms
Rooms with the most services and the most detail, designed together with the plumbing, ventilation and finishes.
How we approach interiors
A good interior is the result of decisions made early, and made with the build in mind.
We start with how you use the space
Before materials and colours, we understand who uses the space, when and how, and plan around that.
We design to a budget
We price as the design develops, so the specification matches what you want to spend before anything is ordered.
We think about lead times
Furniture, stone, lighting and joinery can take weeks or months. We plan orders around the programme so the site is not left waiting.
We detail for site
Our drawings show how things meet, fix and finish, so the result on site matches the design rather than an approximation of it.
Interior design projects
