Interior Design Studios in the UK
Five London studios worth knowing, from colour-confident residential work to quiet, craft-led luxury.
The UK has a deep bench of interior studios, from colour-led residential practices to craft-focused luxury firms. These five are ones whose published work and press coverage we could check, and each profile below is our own summary of what they're known for.
Design studios
Beata Heuman
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.

Elicyon
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.

Nicola Harding & Co
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.

Helen Green Design
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.

Buchanan Studio
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.
