Hello. We’re an architectural interior design studio working throughout London.
As interior designers in London, we work across the city, shaping distinctive, beautifully functional homes for private clients.
Since 2007, we have designed elegant and inspiring interiors for London’s period townhouses, contemporary penthouse apartments and modern riverside flats.
Each London interior design project is different, and each client has their own way of living — understanding this is at the heart of our design process.
I believe the architectural design and interior decoration of our homes can have a profound influence on our lives and our wellbeing.
Home in a city like London plays many roles: a retreat, a workspace, a gathering place and a backdrop to daily life. A thoughtfully designed interior supports each of these moments — and just as importantly, shapes how we feel within them.
This is achieved through thoughtful, intelligent and highly personalised design: a response to who you are, how you live and what you value. Seeing clients experience delight and comfort in a transformed space — and feeling the emotional shift their home now brings — is why we do what we do.
Stephen Dick, Interior Designer
Interior designer in London – our studio
We specialise in private residential interiors and design-led developments across London. From Georgian squares and Victorian townhouses to modernist apartments and contemporary riverside penthouses, our work spans the full breadth of London’s architecture.
We offer a complete interior design service from concept through to installation, with each project tailored thoughtfully to its client and context.
London Homes, Designed with Sensitivity and Character
London’s architectural diversity is extraordinary — Victorian terraces sit alongside converted warehouses; mid-century developments neighbour Georgian squares. We love the variety of designing London homes: responding to each building’s character alongside the client’s story that drew them to it, and respecting their original character while ensuring they meet the demands of modern living.
The unique challenges of interior design in London
London is a densely populated city, with high property values and often compact living spaces. Designing homes here often involves working intelligently with space, light and flow, and designing creatively with layout to support modern living. Period properties often have complex layouts, and we have great experience in unlocking the potential of these properties for our clients. More contemporary developments, particularly flats and apartments, require close coordination with freeholders, building managers or surveyors. We handle this process fully, ensuring all necessary approvals and licences are obtained smoothly — and we have a 100% record in gaining permission for the interior design alterations we propose.
London’s influence on our interior design work
Across our interior design work in London, a consistent thread emerges: the need for spaces that feel calm, functional and beautifully resolved. We design interiors that bring clarity and serenity to even the most dynamic urban settings — homes that balance practicality with quiet luxury.
The result is thoughtful, finely crafted interiors that feel deeply personal and deeply comfortable, reflecting both the character of the city and the individuality of the people who live in it.

Interior design projects across London: a selection
Penthouse, River Thames, Westminster, London
Extensive remodelling and contemporary redesign of a penthouse apartment on London’s River Thames, with a new interior to make the most of the natural light, its fabulous location, and the views across London’s skyline. An International Design Excellence Award finalist, striking, luxurious finishes combine with bespoke joinery and meticulous detailing to create an exceptional result throughout this beautiful London home.
Knightsbridge / South Kensington, South West London
A complete refurbishment and full interior redesign of this duplex flat in London’s Knightsbridge / South Kensington, respecting the heritage of this prestigious neighbourhood.
A palette of traditional materials was introduced to create a timeless character to the interior of this home. Oak parquet flooring and walnut joinery are sympathetic to the period features of the interior, and the striking main bathroom – a finalist for the Bathroom Designer of the Year award – combines Carrara marble and Murano glass. Smart home lighting control, integrated audio/video systems, and electric window treatments are discreetly included in this London design classic.
Barbican Estate, City of London
A modern interior redesign of a Grade II-listed Barbican Estate flat in the City of London. In this carefully considered design for one of London’s most iconic locations, we strived to preserve the spirit of the modernist interiors of the Barbican, while incorporating new joinery and contemporary finishes in a way that respected the character and intent of those original interiors. We gained Listed Building Consent for the reinstatement of original design details, as well as sympathetic alterations to support modern living. The interior design palette was driven by simplicity and continuity, with a consistency across the flat which strengthens the sense of place in this London landmark.

Not a single one – the variety of interior design in London isn’t matched anywhere else in the world.
This vibrant and energetic city lends itself to bold, expressive interiors, yet it’s just as common for us to design a calm retreat for clients seeking a respite from city life.

We do, and we work closely with an extensive network of London craftspeople, joiners, and specialist makers and suppliers. The city has an exceptional design and making culture, and there are products and materials available in London that are difficult or impossible to find elsewhere.
