Little Black Book: The Interior Design Shops That The Cognoscenti Adore

We first came across lovely Margit through the interior designer, Alice Leigh. Margit is a sculptor and painter who makes THE most exquisite bespoke lighting and furniture. We want it all.

One of our favourite shops on Pimlico Road, Christopher Howe sources antiques from all over the world as well as selling the incredible ‘Made By Howe’ furniture and lighting collection.

Set up by interior design firm Studio Duggan, this wonderful shop nestled away in Notting Hill, is a feast for the eyes.

This wonderful shop was set up by renowned architectural and interior designer, Ben Pentreath along with Bridie Hall, decorative artist and maker of seriously beautiful things. One of our favourites to peruse.

Founded in the 1930s, Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler is the longest established interior decorating firm in Great Britain. Sibyl’s pioneering approach to blending the old with the new is today interpreted by seven designers and supported by an architectural interior designer. Another one of our Pimlico Road picks.

We love this London-based online store for its utterly unique pieces. They source from across Europe with a focus on unusual pieces, chosen for their aesthetic and craftmanship.

This online shop was established in 2012 as a platform for finely crafted wares made by artisans of the British Isles. If you are after a special, stand-out piece of furniture, then look no further.

Hadeda was founded by Kate Kindersley, who grew up between Africa and the UK. You can immediately see the influence in all the beautiful pieces that she has carefully chosen and sourced from artisans and co-ops worldwide.

Rose Uniacke set up her interior design shop to run alongside her hugely successful interior design business. Rose has a very distinctive style – think calm neutral, chalky walls and a simple velvet, jewel coloured sofa. Dreamy.
