How Does Interior Design Work When You Live Overseas?
A proven six-stage remote workflow keeping you fully in control without requiring constant flights to London:
We discuss your London property, aesthetic vision, family lifestyle, budget, and timeline.
Our London team surveys the site and develops layout options tailored to how you live.
Concepts, photorealistic 3D renders, finishes, and furniture schedules presented digitally.
Physical material sample boxes couriered overseas with virtual presentation review calls.
Fixed supplier pricing, architectural CAD documentation, and trade orders confirmed.
Full trade coordination, regular video updates, white-glove dressing, and key handover.
Turnkey London Interiors for Overseas Owners
For clients who want a completely finished property ready for immediate occupation, we provide complete turnkey management.
We take responsibility for the entire journey: interior architecture, planning permissions, contractor coordination, bespoke joinery fabrication, bathroom sanitaryware, and curated furnishings down to dressing the beds and styling the art.
When you step through the front door, the property is immaculate, fully functional, and ready for you to enjoy.
London Sourcing Without Being in London
London is one of the world’s great design capitals, but accessing trade-only showrooms and specialist craftspeople requires established studio credentials.
Through Oraanj, you gain access to Chelsea Harbour Design Centre, British bespoke joinery workshops, Italian stone suppliers, and European luxury furniture makers with full trade terms.
We handle all purchasing, international freight, UK import customs, warehouse storage, delivery consolidation, and white-glove installation.
