Seven Brilliant Interior Designers to Have on Your Radar

Paboy Bojang

It’s safe to say that Paboy Bojang’s  In Casa by Paboy cushions have reached cult status. The infectiously clashy and ruffled cushions are the ultimate Instagram catnip for Millennials wanting a bit of a zingy hit for their living rooms or ‘bedscapes’ (the velvety wine red ruffles and baby pink colour combination is just too tempting not to splurge on).

Originally from Gambia, and currently seeking asylum in Italy after living under a brutal 22 year dictatorship, Paboy began crafting his cushions during lockdown that became an instant international hit. He’s now looking to employ other migrants living in Naples and show them how they need no longer reply on exploitative employers. You can donate or become a monthly patron on his Patreon here.

Fibi Interiors

Fido Fawo founded Notting Hill-based Fibi Interiors in 2017, and has since drawn clients from across London eager to replicate its vibrant schemes. Now a team of three, the studio works on projects ranging from luxury penthouses to traditional listed townhouses and contemporary flats. Whether a statement stair runner, colourful blind or sculptural light – the calling card of a Fibi design is playful, memorable elements offset by functional, timeless style.

No Feature Walls

Interiors lovers will no doubt already be familiar with ‘chintzfluencer’ Laura Hunter’s @nofeaturewalls account, an ode to riotous pattern with plenty of shots of Laura’s own exquisitely-designed home (which unsurprisingly features some seriously swoon-worthy wallpapers). But the designer has also been busy behind the scenes recently, working on creative partnerships with wallpaper brands. If that wasn’t enough to stay occupied with, she is also currently working on her first interior design project. Watch this space…

Fawn Interiors

Another one for English country house-lovers: Hampshire-based Fawn Interiors are masters at bringing out the natural beauty of beamed cottages and handsome rural vicarages. Think gently muted, moody colours offset by contemporary lines and cosy textures. The studio also has its own joinery arm if you are hankering for a one-off piece of furniture, cabinetry or fully bespoke tailor-made kitchen.

Retrouvius

Salvage and restoration experts Retrouvius create sustainable interior schemes which beautifully reimagine reclaimed materials and furniture. Founded by Adam Hill and Maria Speake in 1993, the studio has been around for a while now – but a recent surge of interest in sustainable interior design has put Retrouvius in greater demand than ever before. In addition to interior design, at the Kensal Green based studio you’ll also still find a brilliant array of salvaged materials, furniture and lighting available to buy.
