Interior Designers in Richmond upon Thames – Characterful Homes and Welcoming Business Spaces
Interior design, space planning and refurbishment support for homes and commercial premises across Richmond, Kew, Petersham and the surrounding area.
Your interior should feel personal and support the way you use it. That might mean a family kitchen with room for everyone, a comfortable reception room or business premises that offer a better experience for customers and staff.
Oraanj helps homeowners and businesses in Richmond upon Thames develop a coordinated design. We consider layouts, furniture, lighting, storage and finishes together, giving you a clear direction before purchases or building work begin.
Whether you are updating an individual room or planning a larger refurbishment, we develop the appointment around your requirements and budget.
A Design Brief Built Around Your Property
A period home in Richmond may have attractive architectural features but rooms that no longer suit the household. A property in Kew may need a more practical kitchen and dining arrangement. A business near the town centre may want to improve its reception, displays or working areas.
We begin by understanding what works, what needs to change and what you want to retain.
Floor plans, photographs and examples of interiors you enjoy provide a useful starting point. We help translate your ideas into practical priorities, with the layout and decorative scheme developing together.

Period Character With a Contemporary Design Direction
The supplied Richmond residence scheme brings together walnut joinery, natural stone accents, layered lighting and co-ordinated living spaces.
Its design direction explores how contemporary furniture and materials can sit comfortably within a home with period proportions.
The arrangement of open shelving and concealed storage should reflect how the room is used and what needs to remain accessible.
Joinery for Storage and Display
Walnut cabinetry introduces warmth while providing places for household belongings, books and selected objects.
Materials That Connect the Rooms
Timber, stone and upholstery introduce different textures within the scheme. Repeating selected finishes helps adjoining spaces feel related while allowing individual rooms their own character.
A Considered Relationship With the Garden
Furniture placement and circulation influence how comfortably the interior connects with outdoor space.

How Can You Modernise a Richmond Period Home Without Losing Its Character?
Begin with the architectural features you want to preserve and enjoy.
Fireplaces, cornices, panelling and original doors can guide furniture placement, lighting and material choices. Contemporary pieces can sit comfortably alongside these details when scale and finishes are carefully considered.
We explore how the rooms should function before refining the decorative scheme. Where alterations may affect protected features, appropriate permissions and specialist advice should be established before work begins.
How Can You Connect the Kitchen and Garden Without Losing Useful Space?
Test the interior arrangement alongside the proposed doors and glazing.
Larger openings can strengthen the visual connection with the garden, but they also reduce wall space available for cabinetry, radiators and furniture.
We explore kitchen units, dining chairs and seating together, checking that access outdoors remains comfortable. Storage, lighting and privacy should develop alongside the layout.
Where changes involve building work, technical details need to be co-ordinated with the appropriate specialists.
Can You Keep a Separate Sitting Room Alongside an Open Kitchen and Dining Area?
Yes. Different rooms can support different parts of family life.
A connected kitchen and dining area may suit cooking, homework and shared meals. A separate sitting room can provide somewhere quieter for reading, television or conversation.
We consider who uses each room, at what time and for which activities. Furniture, doors and lighting can help establish distinct settings while maintaining a consistent design direction.
Commercial Interior Design in Richmond upon Thames
Oraanj also develops interiors for offices, cafés, restaurants, shops, salons and other commercial premises.
The design begins with how your business operates. We consider customer arrival, staff activities, equipment, seating and storage before developing the visual scheme.
An office may need more effective meeting space. A café may benefit from clearer ordering and collection areas. A retailer may want better displays and accessible stock storage.
