Adam Architecture Façade By Darren Price

Darren Price, design director of Adam Architecture, has crafted an exquisite entrance to Wow!house this year: an intricate façade reminiscent of a grand Georgian townhouse. Expect symmetrical arched arcades, handmade cornices, and even a bespoke front door. Stretching to a breathtaking height of 6.5 metres, it’s the perfect way to preface all of the delightful designs inside. adamarchitecture.com

Cox London Entrance Hall By Victoria Davar Of Maison Artefact

From the Georgian grandeur of the façade, visitors are swept into a hall designed to fit right inside an elegant French château. Sculptural pieces by Cox London – including a bespoke lion leg table and a showstopping oak leaf chandelier – stand proudly among treasures like an 18th-century Norwegian table, an embroidered French quilt, and even a floating staircase. The floor mosaic by the Hackney Mosaic Project, an addiction and mental health charity, is particularly impressive. coxlondon.com | maisonartefact.com

Fromental Drawing Room By Chad Dorsey

Stepping into the drawing room designed by Texas-based Chad Dorsey feels like entering a buzzing members’ club at cocktail hour. You’ll spot a bespoke fireplace, a pair of gently glittering chandeliers, and gorgeous wallcoverings featuring hand-painted sunflowers and chrysanthemums, which reach right up and across the ceiling. Metallic accents and a geometric leather rug give the Arts and Crafts room a subtle modern twist. chaddorseydesign.com | fromental.co.uk

Phillip Jeffries Study By Staffan Tollgård

Brought to life in collaboration with Phillip Jeffries wallcoverings, this study embodies the Northern European philosophy of the red thread: a concept which emphasises the underlying purpose connecting every element of a creative project. Here, Staffan Tollgård’s ‘red thread’ is functional sculpture: from furniture, lighting and architectural details, everything is thoughtfully curated to serve as both a functional piece and a work of art. Think flowing, organic shapes crafted from metal, glass, leather and stone – the walls are even formed from hand-laid slices of wood, creating a monumental abstract artwork that draws the eye up to another three-dimensional wallcovering (this one consisting of metallic and matt inks) which graces the ceiling. phillipjeffries.com | tollgard.com

Nucleus Media Room By Alex Dauley

Opulence is the order of the day in Alex Dauley’s media room: an amber-hued cocoon punctuated by swathes of walnut and brass. It’s envisioned as a sumptuous date-night setting, complete with soft, shimmering wallcoverings by Zinc Textile; an array of unique pieces by Dauley’s favourite Black artisans; and state-of-the-art smart home tech courtesy of Nucleus. alexdauley.com

Perennials & Sutherland Courtyard By Goddard Littlefair

This tranquil garden will whisk you straight to the Mediterranean thanks to Moorish architecture, Andalusian touches, and North African influences – all woven together against a backdrop of fabrics and striking pieces by luxury outdoor furnishings brand Perennials and Sutherland. The walls are clad in grasscloth; gently curved armchairs bring the indoors outside; and brushed metal finishes glint in the light. perennialsfabrics.com | goddardlittlefair.com

Samuel Heath Bathroom By Laura Hammett

This lavish space is an ode to Art Deco – with 2025 marking the centenary of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. Here, you can expect bold geometric shapes, jewel tones, and a treasure trove of hardware by Samuel Heath; of particular note is a brand new vintage bronze tap, as well as the fittings which sit proudly atop the veined marble roll-top bath and calacatta marble-clad vanity unit. The final flourish? A handblown glass light pendant by Laura Hammett Living. samuel-heath.com | laurahammett.com

Drummonds Powder Room By Nicola Harding

If you’re craving colour and maximalism, this is the place for you: Nicola Harding’s powder room is awash with shades of turquoise, jade and ruby, accented by metallic touches and plenty of layered lighting. The taffeta silk tented ceiling – finished in a rich aubergine hue – is a sight to behold, while Drummonds’ quintessential English bathroomware brings together slices of white enamel, cast iron, china, marble and brass (culminating in a magnificent double vanity stand, designed by Harding exclusively for Drummonds). nicolaharding.com | drummonds-uk.com

The Curator’s Room By Brigitta Spinocchia Freund

Spanning two spectacular spaces, The Curator’s Room was created in collaboration with over 100 female artists and designers. From furniture and art to architectural features, every aspect has been produced by female artisans, creating a striking cross-generational tribute to women-led design.

Curated by Brigitta Spinocchia Freund, the installation showcases both rare and contemporary pieces including folding chairs by Gabriella Crespi; a chandelier by Drift Studio; rugs by STARK; ceiling design in collaboration with Roksanda; and a Studio Sofa from Spinocchia Freund’s private collection, reimagined exclusively for the space. spinocchiafreund.com

Sims Hilditch Courtyard Room By Emma Sims-Hilditch

This handsome room was designed with a rather particular vision in mind: two imagined owners, their two young children, and their dog, Astrid. The entryway features an eclectic mix of antique British pieces, mid-century modern finds and custom elements, including a bespoke draper’s table by Titchmarsh & Goodwin and an antique dresser fitted with a fluted marble sink by Ca’Pietra. Elegant screens divide the remaining space into a boot room and a dog room, which showcases a fully equipped dog-washing station clad in the newly launched Delft tile collection by Sims Hilditch and Marlborough Tiles. Think traditional country style with a contemporary spin. simshilditch.com

McKinnon & Harris Garden Terrace By Randle Siddeley

Claiming the very final spot at Wow!house 2025 is Randle Siddeley’s exotic rear garden, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Enclosed within a handcrafted garden trellis, it showcases a striking stone fireplace, aluminum seating by Virginia-based manufacturer McKinnon & Harris, and – of course – lush patches of greenery. It’s all picture-perfect, but you just might find yourself gravitating towards the cocktails on the powder pink drinks cart in the corner… randlesiddeley.co.uk | mckinnonharris.com

Wow!house runs until 3 July 2025. To find out more, visit dcch.co.uk
