Our Top Picks for Interior Design Shopping in London Part Six: Further Afield
We wanted to highlight some of our favourite luxury interior design showrooms to visit in London. From many years of experience, we know that where possible it is always worth trying to see things in real life. Check out the texture of a tile, assess and touch the curve on a basin, try out the comfort level of a sofa. And yes! We know there are too many amazing showrooms to visit in one day, so we’ve broken it down into separate areas. This is usually how we plan our own showroom trips to ensure they’re as efficient and streamlined as possible (and that there’s time to schedule a refreshment stop or two!)
Naturally, with any of our suggestions, it’s a good idea to call or email ahead of your planned visit to check opening times and availability.
Definitely worth the travel
If you don’t have a whole day or half a day spare, make a note of these shops and showrooms for when you’re on a mission from A to B and one of these is happily en route!
As we’ve already mentioned, make a call or send an email before making a special journey … even when we’re back to ‘normal’ some places are occasionally closed for private appointments or may be having a period of ‘appointment only’ opening times.
