The interior-designer-owned shops you need to know about
Interior decoration often happens behind the scenes, shaped through drawings, samples and conversations within the quiet walls of studios, showrooms and private homes that most people never get to see. While many designers and decorators now have successful online platforms, some also run physical shops where their vision can be experienced first-hand.
We’ve brought together a few of our favourites here in Britain — places that offer everything from signature collections of furniture, fabrics and lighting to a carefully chosen mix of antiques and vintage finds. What sets these shops apart isn’t just the quality of what’s on display but the chance to step into the designers’ world and discover how they imagine the things we bring home can elevate the way we live.
Robert Kime1/17Robert Kime, London
For Robert Kime, decoration was never about following style but about creating spaces with depth, character and a quiet sense of permanence. His earlier London shops, on Kensington Church Street and Museum Street where he and his wife Helen famously lived above the shop, were known for their personal and layered atmosphere. Since 2016, the Ebury Street location has carried that spirit forward, offering a residential setting with a garden and quiet corners. Antique textiles, carefully sourced objects and fabrics from Kime’s extensive archive come together here in a vision of design shaped by scholarship, comfort and a deep understanding of how rooms are lived in.

Rose Uniacke2/17Rose Uniacke, London
Few designers balance restraint and richness like Rose Uniacke, whose cultivated style has made her a major force in British interior decoration. Her three shops on the Pimlico Road offer a calm, refined window into her world, shaped by her belief that old and new should not just coexist, but enhance one another. At Nos. 76 and 84, Uniacke’s own furniture and lighting designs sit alongside a changing display of antiques, selected with an expert eye for proportion and simplicity. Opposite, at No. 103, the fabric shop brings together textiles, home linens and the brand’s own range of eco-conscious paints.

Ed Rollitt3/17Max Rollitt, Avington
Set in the Hampshire countryside, Yavington Barn is the heart of Max Rollitt’s world. Once a grain store, it now houses a sequence of beautifully curated spaces where antiques sit alongside Rollitt’s own bespoke designs, each chosen or crafted with an instinctive feel for proportion, character and charm. ‘The most important thing is that visitors understand our sensibility, what we can do and what we’re about,’ says Rollitt. ‘The barn is my play area. Its constant movement is a fantastic tool for our interior designers, demonstrating the breadth of scale, partition, decorative ornament, and how everything fits together’

Retrouvius4/17Retrouvius, London
Architectural salvage company Retrouvius discerningly repurposes objects to create imaginative spaces. Their shop in Harrow, West London doubles as a showroom and is the embodiment of their philosophy that good materials and well-made objects have “intrinsic value.’ The store is fit to bursting with reclaimed treasures waiting to be repurposed in rooms all over the world. When Maria Speake and Adam Hills founded Retrouvius in 1993, its original mission was to help conserve the Victorian tenement buildings in the West End of Glasgow, where the duo studied architecture at university. 30 years later, that initial drive can still be seen with the shop displaying and offering several conscientiously rescued Victorian objects, while also reflecting their expanded vision.

Kit Kemp7/17Kit Kemp, London
Designer Kit Kemp's shop is nestled within Ham Yard village in central London, Soho in 2023. Every inch of the store is designed to give visitors a tangible sense of Kemp’s famously imaginative approach to design. ‘Sometimes you just want to see things in person, to touch a fabric, to smell a scent, to try a hand lotion and to see how comfortable that sofa is’ she says on the Shop Kit Kemp website. The colourful store is filled with equally vibrant homewares and gifts and cleverly staged scenes that allow you to imagine Kit Kemp’s furnishings in your own space. Featured on The List, Kit Kemp has also collaborated with global brands such as Wedgwood, Spode, Christopher Farr and Anthropologie.

© ZAC and ZAC8/17Jessica Buckley, Edinburgh
Jessica Buckley opened her eponymous Edinburgh-based design studio in 2011. She initially set up shop on St Stephen’s Street, a stone’s throw away from the Royal Botanical Gardens before moving to cobblestoned William Street in the city’s historic West End, an area long known for its association with the arts. The striking 19th century shopfront is reflective of Jessica’s design inspirations, particularly her admitted obsession with paint colours ‘at the celadon-aqua end of the spectrum’. Inside, a selection of homewares and accessories handpicked by Jessica and a welcoming sitting room at the shop's rear bolster their claim to be ‘Edinburgh’s prettiest shop’.

Furniture, lighting and textiles are shown alongside antiques and decorative finds, creating spaces that feel layered, refined and unmistakably European. The shops are not just retail spaces but a vital part of the studio’s creative expression — places where clients and designers can immerse themselves in the duo’s distinctive approach to interiors.

Katy Beveridge12/17Pentreath & Hall, London
What began as a small shopfront in front of Ben Pentreath’s design office has grown into one of London’s most cherished destinations for the decorative-minded. On Rugby Street in Bloomsbury, Pentreath & Hall reflects the architectural sensibility of Pentreath and the playful imagination of decorative artist Bridie Hall. ‘We only ever stock pieces we’d happily live with ourselves,’ says Hall. From hand-crafted candles to classical plaster casts, the shop champions British craftsmanship and a richly layered approach to design, rooted in tradition but full of surprise.

Trove13/17Trove by Studio Duggan, London
Trove is the retail expression of interior designer Tiffany Duggan’s studio, a curated space that mirrors her layered and soulful approach to interiors. Located in West London, the shop brings together furniture, lighting and objects with a more accessible spirit than the studio’s full design service. “For me personally, Trove is very much a creative outlet to explore inspirations and new ideas,” says Duggan. ‘The curation of products we offer is approached very much like one of our projects – where we like to create a world where every item feels cohesive, but also unique as a standalone piece.’

Paul Whitbread14/17Berdoulat, Bath
Interior design studio Berdoulat specialises in period buildings and restoration projects so it should come as no surprise that when co-founders Patrick and Neri Williams opened their brick-and-mortar space in 2021, they did so in a three-storey Georgian townhouse with adjoining shop. The unique building retains a Victorian frontage from 1890 and boasts a stunning first floor gallery and mahogany fittings. Its striking dark black-blue shopfront with warm, atmospheric lighting within is inviting. Berdoulat, named after Patrick’s family house in France, is a space of deep architectural and design interest in itself, where Georgian, Regency and Victorian design interact to provide the rare kind of charm the patina of time seems to grant certain spaces.
