Luxury residential interior design for discerning homeowners

Bespoke high-end interiors for a luxury lifestyle

Our studio works on luxury residential interior design projects across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. While we work internationally, we are a London-based team and have crafted interiors for some of the most desirable homes in the city’s most sought-after postcodes.

High-End Residential Interiors

Rather than simply creating an aesthetic environment, we design in accordance to our client’s needs and create functional, structural and aspirational spaces. We design luxury interiors with the intention of providing each client with nurturing surroundings that allow them to thrive in whichever way they choose to use the spaces within their home. This could mean creating a home office that’s sound-proof but also feels light and spurs productivity, or an indoor/outdoor entertaining space that’s ideal for social gatherings.

Whether living, sleeping, eating, working, or simply being, our aim is to make sure the outcome always fulfils our client’s dreams and expectations for how they want to feel when at home.

This luxurious living/dining room showcases a stunning blend of elegance and comfort. The wooden flooring sets a warm and inviting tone, complemented by the blue walls that add a touch of tranquillity. A bronze textured cabinet, adorned with tropical plants, adds a sophisticated element to the space. Two boss armchairs covered in Edelman leather, adorned with a blue and grey throw, rest on a textured grey/blue rug next to a grey sofa. A marble top, side table with a gold and white lamp stands beside the armchairs. On the other side of the room, a circular white dining table surrounded by yellow dining chairs with black legs creates a vibrant and stylish dining area. The room is completed with a fireplace featuring a white mantel and a circular mirror above it, adding a touch of classic charm.

Luxury Home Extensions & Renovations

At Designed by Woulfe we work on home refurbishments as well as new-build properties. We are able to take on any type of turnkey interior design project with ease. For clients who are short on time or those who prefer to remain private, this is an ideal option. Having us as the sole point of contact up until the final handover reduces the level of stress and involvement for them.

Exceptional project management is at the heart of our business and managing an entire home renovation or architectural and interior design project allows us to determine the scope, schedule and budget accurately from the offset. Throughout the process we are responsible for all aspects of planning, design, budgeting, execution and quality control of the scheme. Our watertight project management means we always deliver a finished outcome on time, within budget and to an exceptional standard.

Creating an Idyllic Lifestyle with Bespoke Interior Design

Designed by Woulfe does not adhere to a singular house style. We empower clients to discover their own tastes and inspire them along the way, later bringing their vision to life through luxurious, unique home interiors which are a reflection of their individual personality and lifestyle. Our award-winning design studio will elevate your home into something spectacular with interiors that speak for themselves.

We are driven by the passion of creating spaces which are elegant and timeless yet still feel contemporary. Whether it’s a peaceful coastal holiday home where you retreat from a busy world, or a versatile primary residence in the city that’s built for a growing family, we identify what you want your home to say about you and inject the interior scheme with this spirit.

Working with a Trusted Network of Artisans & Collaborators

Our experience spans all forms of luxury interior design. Our professional team of experts will do whatever it takes to ensure that each component of the interior design scheme we create for you is achieved to specification and is entirely unique. This often means collaborating with British and international suppliers and artisans to commission one-of-a-kind interior components such as bespoke joinery, made-to-measure soft furnishings and art commissions.

Through our years of experience, we have built a trusted network of design and home interiors talent ranging from furniture and product designers to artisans, lighting designers and audio and visual specialists. We also source rare antique and collectors pieces as well as advise on art purchasing for the home. When working with outdoor spaces we collaborate with a talented pool of landscape architects and designers for a cohesive look and feel from indoor to outdoor.

STEP 1 - Design Brief

This initial step provides the foundations for a successful interior design project. Our team considers every aspect of a new interior design commission with meticulous detail so that the interiors we create are tailored to the precise requirements of the individual. We work closely with our clients, repeat or new, to ascertain their precise wishes, timescale, budget and desired outcomes when structuring an interior design brief. This provides the starting point for any new project we undertake.

In order to create spaces that accurately reflect a client’s lifestyle, aspirations and personal preferences, we take the time to understand their personalities and needs. We then incorporate realistic timelines and accurate costs, consider any structural restrictions and produce a comprehensive proposal of exactly what we can deliver and when.

Your style - not ours

Unbound by a house style, Designed by Woulfe is not restricted to a definitive interior design aesthetic. In turn, we proudly offer a truly tailored design service that is customised to each client’s personal style and takes into respectful consideration the requirements of the project and the architecture of the property. Our team meets any possible limitations which arise in the design process with enthusiasm and dedication.

We determine exactly what the client wants from their home and how they see the space being used. There may be structural work which needs to be carried out or an extension built. At this stage we not only listen but also provide inspiration based upon our years of experience in crafting luxury interiors.

Concept development

The design concept serves as a visual aid that appeals to the individual taste and style of a client. The aim of this initial stage is to create a cohesive design scheme which will bring their vision to life. We transform the dreams, ideas and requirements presented to us into reality through careful planning at this crucial stage.

Once we have carried out a property survey of the spaces to be designed, we will delve further into the design details and how the client’s personality and lifestyle can inform the interior design style of the property. When working on aspirational show homes and other commercial properties for developers, we consider the demographic and lifestyle needs of the target clientele as well as the requirements of the key stakeholders.

Visualise your interior space

A watertight interior design concept is integral to the successful execution of a design project however large or small. With this in mind, we work closely with our clients to interpret their brief and ensure their interior and lifestyle goals are met. The team puts together practical examples and references to communicate how the space will look and feel. We can create detailed renderings which encompass floor plans and furniture plans and present these alongside imaginative mood boards and palette ideas for colours, materials and fabrics.

Upon presentation of a comprehensive, clear-cut and authentic illustration of how the space in question will appear on completion, we will work with our client’s feedback to develop a final interior design concept that is tailored to their precise requirements. The wealth of experience we bring forward combined with our design instincts and steadfast determination to fulfil each brief to the letter enables Designed by Woulfe to transform ordinary spaces into truly extraordinary homes.

STEP 2 - Design Development

After the concept development stage has been signed off we work diligently to develop each design to the highest standard. This is where we pin down the specifics of the interior design project at hand. Every detail of the concept, interior layout, construction and overall appearance is developed through architectural planning and design drawings.

Electrical, audio/visual and lighting plans will also be finalised at this stage as well as decisions based upon the design aesthetic. A comprehensive list of the hard finishes, soft furnishings, wall treatments, floor coverings, furniture, joinery, fixtures and fittings will be put together. Keeping specific requirements in mind, our studio will also design bespoke furniture if desired by the client.

Creative collaboration

We understand the value in creative collaboration. In light of this, our studio will bring on board a host of experts in their respective fields to seamlessly integrate a client’s requirements into a design scheme. This means we’ll work alongside lighting designers, audio-visual specialists, security consultants, and a host of other collaborators to ensure that any user interface or technological system that needs to be included is straightforward to use and easy to maintain.
