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.

What We Do

Full interior specification, from kitchens to curtain fabric

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

Rooms, finishes and everything in between

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

How much does interior design cost in London?

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

Architecture and interiors, designed as one

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

Areas we cover for interior design

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

Interiors that respect the building

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

From brief to finished rooms

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.

Common Questions

Interior design in London - answered

Do I need an interior designer or can my architectural designer handle the interiors? +
Most architecture practices hand off at the point where interiors begin, which means you end up hiring a separate interior designer and coordinating between two teams. At Rosace Design Studio, the interior design sits within the same studio as the architecture, so there is no handoff. Our interiors team works alongside the architectural designers from the start, making sure the architecture and the interior finish complement each other.
What does interior design include at Rosace? +
We cover everything from the layout and spatial planning through to kitchen and bathroom design, joinery, lighting schemes, flooring, paint colours, furniture selection, curtains, blinds and accessories. The scope depends on what you need - some clients want a full specification for the entire house, others just need help with the kitchen and bathrooms.
How much does interior design cost in London? +
Interior design fees typically range from £5,000 to £25,000 depending on the size of the project and the level of specification. A single kitchen and bathroom design might sit at the lower end, while a full house interior for a 4 or 5-bed property would be toward the upper end. This is separate from the cost of the items themselves, which vary hugely depending on your taste and budget.
Can you source furniture and fittings for me? +
Yes. We manage procurement for most of our interior projects. Once the design is approved, we source, order and coordinate delivery of everything from sofas and dining tables to bathroom fittings and light fixtures. This saves you weeks of shopping around and means everything arrives on time and works together as intended.
Do you work on standalone interior projects or only alongside extensions? +
Both. Many of our interior projects happen alongside an extension, loft conversion or renovation, which is where having architecture and interiors under one roof really pays off. But we also take on standalone interior design commissions - for example, if you have recently bought a property and want to redesign the interiors without any structural changes.
How long does the interior design process take? +
For a standalone interior project, the design phase typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of rooms and the level of detail. Procurement and installation add another 6 to 12 weeks on top. When interior design is part of a wider architectural project such as an extension or renovation, it runs alongside the architectural design and is completed before construction begins.
What areas of London do you cover for interior design? +
We work across all of Greater London and within a 30-mile radius. Our interior design work is particularly concentrated in Chelsea, Kensington, Hampstead, Islington, Wimbledon and Richmond, where period properties benefit from considered, sensitive interior specification. We also cover Surrey, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
