Full-Service Interior Design in London

Our full-service interior design takes a home from first concept to a styled, ready-to-live-in handover — with everything managed under one roof. You appoint a single team to develop the scheme, specify every finish and piece of furniture, place and track the orders, coordinate the trades and installers, and dress the finished rooms down to the last lamp and cushion. For busy London households, and for owners abroad or between homes, this is the least stressful way to reach a genuinely finished interior. We handle the hundreds of decisions and deliveries that a beautiful room quietly depends on, so you walk into a home that is complete rather than a project that is nearly there.

The short answer

What is full-service interior design?

Full-service interior design is a turnkey commission where one team takes a home from concept to a styled, ready-to-live-in handover. We develop the scheme, specify every finish and furnishing, manage procurement and deliveries, coordinate the trades, then install and dress each room — so you approve the big decisions and we handle everything else.

One team, from concept to keys

The defining feature of a full-service commission is single accountability. Rather than coordinating a designer, a decorator, a furniture supplier and a curtain-maker yourself, you deal with us — and we hold the whole scheme together. We begin with a detailed brief and concept direction, develop it into a resolved design with drawings and sample boards, then move seamlessly into specification, procurement, installation and styling. Because the same people carry the vision from the first mood-board to the final photograph, nothing is lost in translation and no decision falls between two suppliers. That continuity is what turns a good scheme on paper into a finished home that actually feels considered.

FF&E, procurement and the parts you never see

Most of the work in a turnkey interior is invisible. Behind a finished room sit hundreds of line items — furniture, lighting, rugs, fabrics, hardware, art and accessories — each specified, quoted, ordered, tracked and reconciled. We run this FF&E procurement in-house: raising orders, managing lead times and deposits, chasing suppliers, checking deliveries against the schedule and resolving the inevitable back-orders and damages before they reach you. We are transparent about margins and budgets throughout. This administrative machinery is unglamorous but it is precisely what separates a genuinely complete home from a scheme that stalls at eighty per cent while pieces trickle in over months.

Install, styling and the day it all comes together

The installation is the moment a scheme becomes a home. We coordinate delivery and access — no small thing in a London mansion block or a narrow terrace — and manage the sequence so furniture, curtains, lighting and art arrive and are placed in the right order. On install day our team dresses the rooms: hanging pictures, laying rugs, making beds, styling shelves and finishing every surface. We aim for a handover where you can walk in and simply live, with the beds made and the kettle in the cupboard, rather than facing weeks of unpacking and adjusting after the designers have left.

Working alongside a build, or in a finished home

A full-service interior can run in step with an architectural refurbishment or extension, or stand entirely on its own in a home that needs no building work. When it accompanies a build, we coordinate closely with the architectural and technical drawings so that the permanent, fitted layer — joinery, lighting positions, materials — is resolved through our interior-architecture service, while the decoration and furnishing layer is developed in parallel. When the structure is already sound, we work with the home as it is. Either way, the goal is the same: a coherent, complete interior delivered without the client having to become their own project manager.

London-specific

What to keep in mind

Frequently asked questions

What does “full-service” actually include?

It covers the whole journey: concept and developed design, full specification of finishes and furnishings, procurement and order management, coordination of trades and installers, and the final install and styling. In practice you make the big decisions and approve the scheme, and we handle everything else through to a finished handover. It is the most hands-off way to reach a complete interior.

Do you manage the ordering and deliveries yourself?

Yes. We run FF&E procurement in-house — raising orders, managing deposits and lead times, tracking deliveries and resolving damages or back-orders. You receive a coordinated scheme rather than a list of suppliers to chase. We are transparent about budgets and any trade margins throughout.

Can you work while we are living abroad or elsewhere?

Yes, and many full-service clients are exactly this. Because we handle the design, procurement, install and styling end to end, you can be largely absent during delivery and return to a finished home. We keep you updated and only need you for key approvals.

Do we have to furnish the whole house at once?

No. Full-service works beautifully for a whole home, but it can also deliver a complete floor or a set of principal rooms to the same turnkey standard. We scope the commission around your priorities and budget rather than insisting on everything at once.

How much does full-service interior design cost?

Because a full-service commission spans design, procurement, installation and styling, the fee depends on the scope — a whole home, a single floor or a set of principal rooms — and on the furniture and specification budget behind it. We quote a fixed fee before you commit, so there are no surprises later, and you can begin with a £395 route review that is credited against your project if you go ahead. Our packages page sets out how the fees are structured and where to start.

How long does a full-service interior design project take?

A turnkey commission runs to a different clock from a design-only one, because it carries procurement, installation and styling as well as the design. Brief and concept run until you have signed off a direction; developed design then resolves every finish and furnishing into a complete, costed scheme. Ordering follows approval, and bespoke and imported pieces carry the longest lead times, so those orders are placed first and tracked against the schedule. Install and styling are then a short, tightly coordinated event, and in a mansion block the lift bookings, delivery windows and access rules tend to fix the date. Where finishes are being altered in a leasehold flat, freeholder consent may be needed before they go in, so we raise it early. You have a stage programme at appointment, with dates added and firmed up as each order is confirmed.
