Janine Stone & Co. designs, builds, renovates and furnishes exquisite private residences for the most discerning clients. The daughter of a dress designer and an artist, Janine’s childhood was filled with fine furnishings and exotic fabrics, which both hugely influenced her choice of career. When her father branched out into interior design, it was inevitable that she would join him. Travelling extensively throughout Europe, she honed her craft and developed an enviable network of global artisans. She set up her studio, Janine Stone & Co., in 1987 and the multi-disciplinary practice has since grown to incorporate a global in-house team of talented architects and interior designers, supported by a build and construction management department.

As a Savile Row tailor cuts cloth, Janine Stone & Co.’s projects are similarly customised to the individuals who commission them. The studio is renowned for not having a particular house style and instead strives for originality and a sense of timelessness. ‘Our aim is always to create a look and feel that embodies the people we are designing for. If there is a common thread that links all our projects, it’s simply design that is of exceptional quality,’ says Janine. She firmly believes that ‘every home and interior should be much more than just a collection of bricks and mortar but should tell a story that is as special as the people who live there.’
Janine Stone & Co. attracts an international roster of clients that has included captains of industry, elite sportsmen and entertainment figures across its 30-plus year history. The illustrious design firm’s multidisciplinary capabilities allow it to be involved in projects beyond the scope and scale of many others. Not only does it assist those who want to reinvent their current living space, the practice can also help find houses with development potential. For clients wanting to create a new home from scratch, Janine Stone & Co. can also oversee the entire process from concept to completion.
In our post-Covid world, the studio is increasingly fulfilling clients’ wishes for more versatile spaces – whether it’s incorporating al fresco dining and entertaining areas in underutilised gardens or constructing subterranean home spas to the sort of high specification one only expects of the world’s top spa hotels. ‘The pandemic was a strong reminder of the pricelessness of where and how we spend time with friends and family,’ she continues.
Janine Stone & Co. encourages clients to participate in the design process, to visit the studio, to contribute to interior schemes, play with fabrics, trial furnishings and interact with the team so that they can truly feel that their home is their own. Recent projects include the renovation of several apartments and townhouses in London’s Grosvenor Square, Kensington and Holland Park, the interior design for a new-build mansion on Wentworth Estate in Surrey, and the renovation and refurbishment of a number of country homes and estates in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire. The company also enjoys undertaking international commissions in Europe, America and the Middle East.
