Interior design studios, by region

New York City

Founded in 1999, Meyer Davis works across residential, hospitality, retail and workplace projects from offices in New York, Miami, LA, Nashville, London and Barcelona. The hospitality side is the best-known part of the portfolio - Four Seasons and W Hotels properties among them - but the private-home work carries the same confident, globally-sourced sensibility.

New York City

Led by Alexandra Champalimaud, this NYC studio is best known for luxury hospitality interiors, with residential work that carries over the same instinct for a space's individual character rather than a house style stamped onto every project.

Houston, with offices in LA, NYC, Hong Kong and Shanghai

Led by Lauren Rottet, this architecture-and-interiors practice works across hospitality, workplace and residential projects internationally. The studio's scale - five offices across three continents - is unusual for a firm this design-led, and shows in the range of project types it takes on.

Los Angeles

A holistic studio working across architecture, interiors, graphic design and product design, with a reputation built on a relaxed, California-inflected take on residential, commercial and hospitality projects - plus a line of its own home and lifestyle products.

Seattle

Established in 1996, this multi-disciplinary firm covers residential, hospitality and commercial interiors along with its own furniture design and procurement. It's one of the longer-standing independent studios in the Pacific Northwest, with a portfolio that leans warm and material-led rather than minimalist.

London

Founded in 2013 by Swedish-born designer Beata Heuman, the studio is known for colour-confident, idiosyncratic interiors - pattern and playful furniture handled with a sure hand rather than caution. Heuman won House & Garden's inaugural Interior Designer of the Year award in 2018, and the studio now runs its own homeware line, Shoppa, alongside residential commissions.

Chelsea, London

Founded in 2014 by Charu Gandhi, Elicyon works across interior design, interior architecture and bespoke furniture for a high-end residential and commercial clientele. The studio's projects tend toward tailored, fully custom interiors rather than off-the-shelf luxury, with architectural training evident in how spaces are planned, not just decorated.

London

Nicola Harding founded her studio in 2007 and has built a reputation for interiors that feel lived-in rather than staged - refined without being precious, and designed around how a household actually uses a room. The portfolio spans UK country houses to international residential and commercial projects.

Chelsea, London

One of Britain's longer-running luxury practices, founded in 2002 by the late Helen Green. The studio's work spans listed London townhouses, country estates and hotel interiors, with a consistent emphasis on interiors that read as liveable first and luxurious second - a harder balance than it sounds.

London

Run by husband-and-wife duo Charlotte and Angus Buchanan, this interdisciplinary studio works across interiors, furniture, events and branding. It's best known for bespoke joinery and considered material choices - and for the striped Studio Chair that became something of a design-world viral moment.

Toronto

Founded in 1982 by Elaine Cecconi and Anna Simone, this is one of Canada's longest-running design practices, with work across retail, corporate, hospitality and residential interiors - including a hand in roughly 75 residential communities across the Greater Toronto Area.

Toronto

Founded in 1993 by Diego Burdi and Paul Filek, Burdifilek is a retail-design specialist whose work includes Holt Renfrew, Neiman Marcus and Joe Fresh stores. The studio has picked up multiple Retail Design Institute awards for turning brand identity into physical space.

Toronto

Founded in 1995 by Jeffrey Douglas, this residential-focused studio describes its approach as being "lifestyle interpreters" - building interiors around how a specific household actually lives rather than a signature look. The practice has picked up several Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario awards.

Vancouver

A Vancouver studio built around high-end residential work, sourcing globally to put together interiors that favour a timeless, considered look over anything trend-driven.

Dubai, with showrooms across all seven Emirates

The UAE arm of OPPEIN, the China-founded company that bills itself the world's largest cabinetry manufacturer after 30 years in the industry. It runs a manufacture-and-fit model rather than a pure design consultancy - kitchens, wardrobes, bathroom vanities and full villa interiors - backed by ISO 9001/14001 certification and awards including a Red Dot and an iF Design Award.

Dubai

Founded in Dubai in 2013, Algedra has completed over 500 projects across the UAE and more than 30 countries, handling architecture, interiors, landscaping and fit-out entirely in-house rather than outsourcing phases of a project - unusual at this scale.

Al Barsha, Dubai

Established in 2003, Zen Interiors pairs interior design with its own furniture showroom, offering a design-and-furnish service rather than design alone. The studio has over 900 completed homes in its portfolio, from Burj Khalifa penthouses to family villas in Damac Hills.

Jumeirah Lake Towers, Dubai

Founded in 2013 by Amjad Hourieh and Firas Alsahin, 4Space works across hospitality, retail, workplace and luxury residential projects for clients including Emaar and Huawei, with recognition from the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards and the Commercial Interior Design Awards MENA.

Dubai

Founded in 2010, Antonovich Group works at the palace-and-penthouse end of the market, with services spanning architecture, interiors, fit-out and landscape design under one roof - built for clients who want a single studio accountable for the whole build.

Dubai, with offices in the UK and US

Led by Leali Ezzat, ELE works across residential, commercial and hospitality interiors from offices spanning the UAE, UK and US, with completed projects extending into Saudi Arabia, Europe and North America - a wider geographic reach than most Dubai-based studios.
