Interiors

Architecturally intelligent, beautifully resolved interiors

We work seamlessly with your architect, contractor, and consultants to protect the vision, navigate complexities, and ensure intelligent progress at every stage.

Schematic & Detailed Design

From floorplans and elevations to joinery details and FF&E schedules, we handle all design elements with a focus on balance, function, and cohesion. We specify hard finishes, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and soft layers—all with a sensitivity to your space and your standards.

Spatial Planning & Interior Architecture

Every room is intentionally designed to support daily flow and architectural harmony. We carefully consider proportion, transition, and how spaces feel when experienced over time—not just in photographs.

WHAT WE OFFER
COLLABORATION & PLANNING

Based in London, Susan Chesney Interiors is a full-service design studio offering a highly tailored approach for private clients in Kensington and beyond. We specialise in creating elegant, considered homes—where every decision is intentional, and every detail quietly elevates the whole.

Interior Design for Refined Living in Kensington

Your home should feel effortless, yet deeply personal. We begin every project with a comprehensive consultation, taking time to understand your goals, preferences, and the way you live—down to the smallest detail.

Whether you’re redesigning a pied-à-terre, enhancing a listed property, or undertaking a complete renovation, our role is to translate your story into a composed, functional space that brings daily ease and long-term value.

Guided by a structured process and creative precision, we design spaces that honour architecture, lifestyle, and individuality—with layered calm, thoughtful flow, and refined materiality at the heart.

"Susan works with quite paired back palettes, but there is a real warmth that shines through."

"Images are our palette and canvas, each one a visual poem that speaks volumes on its own."

"Content creation is a mindful art, each post crafted to inspire and empower."

"Engagement isn't just interaction, it's a shared journey of creativity and expression."

"Growth stems from exploration, constantly pushing boundaries for fresh creativity."

We believe great interiors should feel as good as they look. Every project begins with a deep understanding of the people who will live there — leading to spaces that are elegant, welcoming, and built to last.

Our Putney interior designers favour a timeless aesthetic: understated yet expressive, warm yet composed. This approach led to our inclusion in Homes & Gardens’ “Next in Design 2025” — a recognition of designers helping shape the future of interiors in the UK and beyond.
