Interior Design · London
The problem with hiring an architectural designer and an interior designer separately is that one finishes and the other starts, and half the decisions have to be revisited. At Rosace Design Studio, the architecture and the interiors happen together, in the same studio, by people who talk to each other every day.
Let's Talk Interiors
What We Do
Interior design at Rosace Design Studio is not about mood boards stuck to a wall and left for you to figure out. We specify everything - the kitchen layout and supplier, the bathroom fittings, the flooring, the paint, the lighting, the joinery, the furniture. When we say full specification, we mean it.
Most of our interior work happens alongside an architectural project - an extension, a loft conversion, a full renovation. That is where this approach really shows its strength. The kitchen designer is not guessing where the structural beam will land. The lighting scheme is designed around the actual ceiling heights. The joinery fits because the carpenter and the architectural designer are working from the same drawings.
We also take on standalone interior projects. If you have bought a place and want it redesigned without knocking down walls, we are happy to do that too.
What Interior Design Covers
Kitchen design is the core of most of our interior projects. We design the full layout - island position, worktop materials, cabinet finishes, appliance selection, lighting - and coordinate with the kitchen supplier to make sure everything is ordered, delivered and installed correctly. We work with a range of suppliers from mid-range to premium, depending on your budget.
Bathroom design covers everything from sanitaryware and tile selection to heated towel rails, mirrors and storage. We design bathrooms that feel generous even when the room is compact, which is a common challenge in London homes. We specify every item so the builder knows exactly what to order and fit.
Bespoke joinery is where interiors are won or lost in period properties. Built-in storage, alcove shelving, window seats, media units and wardrobes all need to be designed to fit the specific dimensions and proportions of your rooms. We draw every piece and have it made by skilled joiners who work to our specifications.
Lighting is often underestimated. A well-designed lighting scheme layers ambient, task and accent light to create rooms that work at every time of day. We specify every fitting - recessed downlights, pendants, wall lights, under-cabinet strips - and work with electricians to position them correctly during the build.
Cost Guide
Interior design fees at Rosace Design Studio typically range from £5,000 to £25,000 depending on the number of rooms, the level of detail, and whether the project involves architectural work as well.
A kitchen and bathroom design for a typical London home usually sits between £5,000 and £10,000 in design fees. A full interior specification for a 4 or 5-bed house - covering every room, all joinery, lighting, materials and finishes - would be at the higher end of that range.
When interior design is part of a wider architectural project such as an extension or loft conversion, the interior design fees are often included within the overall architectural fee, which typically runs between 10 and 15 percent of the construction cost. This is more cost-effective than hiring a separate interior designer because the work is integrated from the start.
Procurement costs - the actual items you buy, from kitchen cabinets to light fittings - sit on top of the design fees and vary enormously depending on taste and budget. We work across a wide range of price points and always tailor specifications to your budget.
Why Rosace Design Studio
The usual approach in London is to hire an architectural designer for the structure and a separate interior designer for the finishes. It works, but it is clunky. The architectural designer does not know what kitchen you want until the interior designer gets involved months later. By then, the layout is fixed and the options are limited.
At Rosace Design Studio, the interiors team is involved from the initial design stage. When we are drawing up an extension or a loft, we are already thinking about where the kitchen island sits, how the light falls across the living room, and what kind of joinery the hallway needs. The result is spaces that feel resolved and considered, not assembled from separate briefs.
Our construction team then builds and installs everything we have specified, so there is no gap between what was designed and what actually gets delivered. One team, one contract, one point of responsibility.

Coverage
Rosace Design Studio works across all of Greater London and within a 30-mile radius. Our interior design work is particularly concentrated in areas where period properties benefit from considered, sensitive specification.
We have completed interior projects in Chelsea, Kensington, Hampstead, Islington, Wimbledon, Richmond, Wandsworth and Camden. Outside London, we cover Surrey, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Period Properties
Many of our clients own Victorian, Edwardian or Georgian homes where the interior design needs to walk a line between contemporary living and the character of the original building. We are experienced with this balance.
That might mean designing a kitchen that sits comfortably alongside original cornicing, specifying bathroom fittings that suit the proportions of a Victorian room, or selecting joinery profiles that echo period details without imitating them. The goal is always to make the new work feel like it belongs.
How It Works
01
Brief & Walkthrough
We talk through how you live, what you like, what you do not like, and what your budget is. No questionnaire - just a proper conversation about your home.
02
Concept Direction
We put together a concept direction - materials, colours, spatial ideas. We present it visually so you can react to something real, not just descriptions.
03
Full Specification
Once the direction is agreed, we produce a full specification - every item, every finish, every fitting - with drawings, schedules and sample boards.
04
Procurement & Install
We manage procurement and coordinate with our build team for installation. Every piece is checked, every detail is resolved before you move back in.
