ABOUT US The Yellow Interior Design Company specialises in the creation and production of unique and timeless design solutions for the high end property market. The company was established to bring cohesion between architecture and interior design services and to help discerning clients navigate the higher echelons of Real Estate.
Our studio is a collaboration between interior architectural design and blue chip property consulting providing a comprehensive property service with the ability to offer solutions for all elements of the design process, delivered to an exceptional standard.
This is a brand new venture that proves the old adage, ‘The Sum is greater than its parts’. Separately, we are leaders in our respective fields, but together we offer end - to - end acquisition and design service. We have in-house interior architecture and design capabilities giving us a full understanding to approach any project no matter what stage of design development. Rather than enforcing a typical ‘practice style’, we tailor the brief to the tastes and specific lifestyle requirements of each client or developer’s target market.
