Bespoke Interiors with Purpose

At Planning By Design, we create considered interior spaces that reflect your personality while making everyday life easier. We work with homeowners, businesses and developers on projects ranging from individual rooms to complete residential and commercial properties in London, across the UK and internationally.

Our collaborative approach combines space planning, furniture, finishes, lighting, colour and practical detailing into one cohesive design. Whether you already have a strong vision or need help discovering the right direction, our team will guide you from the first ideas through to a clear design package ready for implementation.

A collaborative approach

Beautiful Spaces, Thoughtfully Planned

The best interiors begin with understanding how you want the space to feel and function.

We take time to understand your requirements, personal style, practical needs and budget. Every recommendation is made with the complete space in mind, creating an interior that looks cohesive, feels personal and works for the people using it.

Where architectural or planning support is also required, our interior designers can collaborate with our chartered architects and town planners, keeping the wider project coordinated under one experienced team.

Our services

Complete Interior Design Support

Choose the level of support that suits your project. We can help with a focused room design or develop a coordinated scheme for an entire property.

Space Planning & Layout Design

We optimise room layouts, circulation and furniture placement to make the best use of the available space while improving comfort, usability and visual balance.

Furniture, Fixtures & Finishes

We select furniture, sanitaryware, finishes and materials to create a consistent design, with practical recommendations suited to your style and budget.

Lighting Design

We develop considered lighting proposals that combine natural, ambient, task and feature lighting to support both the atmosphere and function of each room.

Colour Consultation & Styling

From calm neutral palettes to stronger statements, we coordinate colours, textures and decorative elements so every part of the interior feels connected.

2D Drawings & Room Elevations

Detailed plans and elevations communicate the proposed layouts, dimensions, joinery and key design decisions clearly for review and implementation.

3D Visualisations

Where required, realistic 3D visualisations help you understand the completed space, compare options and approve the design with confidence before work begins.

Interior Design Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between interior design and architectural design?

Architectural design focuses on the building’s structure, form and overall layout. Interior design develops the experience within those spaces through layouts, furniture, lighting, finishes, colour, storage and styling. Our teams can work together where a project requires both services.

How much does an interior designer cost?

The cost depends on the number of rooms, project complexity and level of detail required. We agree the scope and price before work begins. You can request a detailed quotation or use our Free Online Cost Calculator for an initial estimate.

What can be included in an interior design package?

Depending on your brief, the package may include floor plans, furniture layouts, room elevations, moodboards, colour and material palettes, lighting proposals, 3D visualisations and a detailed furniture, fixture and sanitaryware specification with quantities, suppliers and estimated costs.

Do you provide 3D visualisations?

Yes. Where required, we can create detailed 3D visualisations to help you understand the proposed space and approve important design decisions before implementation.

Can you design just one room?

Yes. We work on projects of different sizes, from individual rooms and focused consultations to complete residential and commercial properties.

How long does the interior design process take?

Timescales depend on the size, complexity and level of detail required. We will explain the expected programme when confirming the scope. Allowing enough time for feedback and revisions helps avoid unnecessary pressure and supports a better final result.

Do you need to visit the property?

A site visit can be arranged where required. However, many projects can be completed through our digital process using accurate measurements, photographs, videos and online consultations, allowing us to assist clients throughout the UK and internationally.

How do I get started?

Contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. We will discuss the property, your objectives and the support you need before providing a clear quotation.

I approached this architectural firm after previous owner’s planning application for a dropped kerb on a classified road had been refused. Knowing the complexity of the planning process and the challenges involved, I wanted an experienced professional to assess the situation properly and prepare a strong application. From the outset, they provided a thorough planning appraisal and feasibility report, clearly explaining the planning constraints, relevant policies, and the likelihood of success. Their knowledge of highway and planning requirements was evident throughout, and they were able to identify key issues that had contributed to the previous refusal. The report was detailed, well-researched, and professionally presented, giving both me confidence that the proposal had been carefully considered. Communication was excellent throughout the process. I would highly recommend their services to anyone requiring planning.

Planning By Design are a brilliant team – I can’t praise them highly enough, both personally and for their meticulous, skilful work. I had no idea how wonderful they’d really be. I’d expected them to reproduce more or less what I’d sent (a sketch of a small piece of land, some photos, and my problem) and just put it into the necessary jargon. Boy oh boy, I couldn’t have been more wrong: it was like Mozart turning ‘Twinkle, twinkle, little star’ into a symphony. Planning By Design produced an awesome planning application that explained to the Council my problem in an excellent way, what laws support me in it, together with architectural maps and drawings. (I’m in an AONB, and didn’t want to risk possible objections & repercussions further down the line. Neighbours advised me just to go ahead without mentioning it to the Council because they’d almost certainly say no, but I’d have been living in a ticking timebomb!) Planning By Design have now sent me the Council’s thumbs up to go ahead. I’m on cloud nine. They’re a fantastic team – so professional, as well as patient and good-humoured, and know just what to do and how to do it. I’ll recommend them to anyone wanting to carry out works to their property with a peaceful mind rather than just hoping for the best!!!

This is our first big home project and we had no clue where to start, or of the process. PBD helped us from the beginning to do the neccessary checks that what we wanted to do was possible, did our drawings and plans for us, and even did the application to the council which went on to get accepted first time. The whole process was made to feel 'smooth' and took all stress away from us, knowing that all steps were being undertaken in the right way which was what ultimately led to our application getting accepted so quickly as they did everything to the correct requirements of our council. We would not hesitate to recommend on to others, and if we were to do any further projects we will be sure to use again. Thank you to all involved.

I am very pleased with the professional service I received from Planning By Design. They managed my dropped kerb planning application efficiently and kept me informed throughout the process. Their knowledge, guidance and attention to detail made everything straightforward and stress-free. Most importantly, my application was approved. I would happily recommend Planning By Design to anyone seeking reliable and professional planning support.
