Interior Designers in London | Kia Designs

Interior design for London homes that have to work, not just look good

Kia Designs is a luxury residential interior design studio at London Bridge. For more than 18 years we’ve designed and delivered homes across London, from Kensington townhouses and Knightsbridge apartments to side-return extensions in Stoke Newington and Clapham. We’ve completed over 200 projects.

Good design is the minimum. What clients hire us for is everything after the mood board: getting the layout right, specifying every finish, working with your contractor and keeping the budget where it was agreed. One studio, from the first measured survey to the final install.

Our Portfolio

Drawing room in a Kensington townhouse featuring a limited-edition Pheasant rug from The Rug Company inspired by Chihuly's glasswork. The rug's design resembles the wing-like motif of a pheasant, twisting and contorting across the composition. A three-piece modular sofa with clear lines and precise proportions, designed by Andersen & Voll, provides comfortable seating upholstered in textiles from Kvadrat.

About Kia Designs

What we do

Luxury interior design: whole-house schemes, furniture, lighting, joinery and finishes.
Interior architecture: layout changes, extensions and lower-ground floors, drawn and specified in-house.
Refurbishment: we manage the design side of the build alongside your contractor, so decisions don’t stall on site.

Where we work

We work across central and west London, including Kensington, Knightsbridge, Notting Hill, Marylebone, Fitzrovia, Maida Vale and St John’s Wood, Belsize Park and Hampstead. We also take on projects in south and east London, outside London and abroad, including a family home in Conches and an apartment in Eaux-Vives, Geneva.

Why clients choose us

Award-winning work: Winner, Ultimate Luxury Kitchen Design of the Year (Designer Kitchen & Bathroom Awards 2018), shortlisted at the British Homes Awards 2016, and recognised by Houzz.
A clear process: set stages, clear fees and one point of contact. Our pricing page explains how fees work before you call.

Speed when it counts: on one Kensington townhouse we had a team on site the day after exchange and finished a 4,200 sq ft refurbishment in four months.
Respected in the industry: Kia speaks at BIID Inside Knowledge on studio systems and design fees.

If you’re planning a renovation or a full redesign, tell us about the house and what isn’t working. We’ll be straight with you about whether we’re the right fit

Kia Designs was recommended by a friend who used their services a few years back. We were first-time buyers with little experience and hence a bit anxious about the buying process topped up by a renovation project. From the beginning to the end of the project, the team held our hand until that magic moment you set your foot back home. Obviously, we find our house post-KD intervention stunning. But it was really the support and the advice throughout the process (we had some hiccups along the way) that made a difference.

Kia and her team did a fantastic job and I’m delighted with the end result. As well as a fabulous and fun design, the entire process worked smoothly from end to end with excellent communication and prompt resolution of the inevitable hiccups along the way. The whole process was stress free from design, through procurement, build and installation. It speaks volumes that I ended up with virtually no snagging list at the end of the project. I can’t recommend Kia and her team enough. I’m only sad that I may not get the opportunity to work with them again for some time.

Kia and her team went above and beyond to create the most beautiful holiday home for us. Their attention to detail was exceptional which ensured our home was kitted out and ready to go for our first guests. The whole team made the process easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Kia’s vision was everything we could have hoped for and more – a huge thank you to you and the girls!

Understanding what people want when we didn't necessarily have a clear vision of what we wanted is a talent. A lot of times, the first items proposed were the ones we chose and any case alternatives were suggested. I can't imagine having done this without them.

Kia and her team oversaw the renovation project of our house. We selected Kia Designs based on their design portfolio as well their readiness to take on the challenging timeline. Kia Designs took care of all the technical spec for the builder, ordered supplies and proposed designs. On many occasions we went with their first proposal, others we asked for alternatives and others we debated forever. We never felt pressured to take the easy route. Kia’s scope was to propose designs, layouts, furnishings and fittings. Site visits were made difficult due to covid but I managed to attend regularly which in the case of project of our size (4000+ sqft) was critical. We are delighted with the outcome of the works and are very grateful to Kia Designs and our builder for their efforts and hard work.
