How we chose

Every studio here is a real, currently operating London interior design practice with its own website, a London studio or showroom, and a body of published residential work. We read what each studio says it does, looked at its portfolio and kept a range of styles and budgets at the upper end of the market, which is where most London studios work. Nobody paid to be included and there are no affiliate links on this page.

We do not rank designers by awards or fees. Taste is personal: look at each portfolio before you call.

'Interior designer' is not a protected title in the UK, so there is no statutory register. Membership of the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID), whose Registered Interior Designers have verified qualifications and experience, is a useful sign. Ask for references and a written agreement setting out fees, procurement and who contracts with the builders.

Interior design in London ranges from a single room to a full renovation run alongside an architect. Most studios here take on whole homes, and several sell their own furniture, fabrics or homeware, which is a good way to see their taste before you commission them. If your project involves structural work, start with an architect.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an interior designer cost in London?

Studios charge in different ways: a fixed design fee, a fee per square metre, an hourly rate, or a percentage of the project budget, and many also earn a margin on furniture and fittings they buy for you. Well-known London studios usually have a minimum project size. Ask how the fee is calculated, whether you will see trade prices, and what happens to the fee if the budget changes.

What is the difference between an interior designer and an architect?

An architect designs the building itself — its structure, layout and how it meets planning and Building Regulations — and must be registered with the ARB. An interior designer focuses on the spaces inside: layout, joinery, lighting, colour, materials, furniture and art. On a big renovation the two often work together; some studios on this list offer both.

How long does an interior design project take?

A single room might take a few months from first meeting to installation, mostly because of lead times on furniture and fabrics, which can run to 12 weeks or more for made-to-order pieces. A whole-house renovation with building work typically takes a year or longer.

Can I hire a top London designer for just one room?

Some studios take on single rooms or offer consultations, and several sell their own furniture and fabrics so you can use their style without a full commission. Nicola Harding & Co, for example, advertises design consultations. Ask about minimum project sizes at the first call.
