Joel Azevedo Interiors specialises exclusively in traditional residential interior design for period homes in London. We do not take on every style or every project — we focus on Victorian terraced houses, Georgian townhouses, Edwardian residences, and other heritage properties where architectural character and historical authenticity are central to the design.

Our approach combines a deep respect for period architectural detail with a layered, intuitive sensibility for colour, pattern, furniture, lighting, fabrics, and bespoke elements. Our interiors are designed to feel timeless, comfortable, and deeply personal — never generic, trend-led, or "just decorated." As a boutique studio, you work directly with Joel Azevedo throughout the entire project, from the initial brief to the final styling.

We offer a full range of residential interior design services for private homes, renovations, and period properties across London. Our services include concept design, space planning, period-appropriate colour schemes, furniture and lighting selection, fabric and curtain schemes, bespoke joinery input, FF&E specification, procurement, and final styling.

Yes. While our studio is based in Chelsea Harbour, London, we can work on selected projects outside London and overseas, depending on the scope and level of involvement required. Please get in touch to discuss your project.

Our fees depend on the size, complexity, and level of involvement required for the project. Some projects are priced as a fixed design fee, while others may involve hourly work, procurement fees, or a combination of both.

For larger projects, we structure the work into clear stages — typically concept design, developed design, technical drawings, and implementation — so clients understand exactly what is included at each point. Before starting, we outline the proposed fee structure, scope of work, and payment stages in writing, so everything is transparent and agreed in advance.

Yes. We can manage full procurement for furniture, lighting, fabrics, curtains, rugs, artwork, and accessories. This includes sourcing, pricing, placing orders, coordinating suppliers, and managing delivery logistics where required.

For period property renovations, procurement is particularly valuable, as it ensures that all specified materials, antiques, and bespoke pieces are properly documented, ordered to the correct specifications, and delivered in the right sequence.

We offer design project coordination as part of our interior design service, helping to keep the design process organised and ensuring that the interiors are implemented as intended.

This can include liaising with contractors, architects, joiners, curtain makers, suppliers, and specialist trades; reviewing design details on site; coordinating furniture, lighting, fabrics, and finishes; and attending site meetings where required.

For larger period property renovation projects, we work alongside the appointed contractor, architect, or project manager rather than replacing them. Our role is to protect the design vision, resolve interior design details, and ensure the finished home feels cohesive, considered, and beautifully executed.

We work across London, with a particular concentration of projects in Chelsea, Kensington, Clapham Common, Balham, Fulham, Notting Hill, Belgravia, South Kensington, and West London more broadly. These areas have a high density of the Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian period properties that we specialise in.

We specialise in the full range of London period property types, including Victorian terraced houses (1837–1901), characterized by bay windows, ornate cornicing, original fireplaces, and tiled hallways; Georgian townhouses (1714–1830), defined by classical symmetry, sash windows, and elegant proportions; Edwardian houses (1901–1910), featuring larger rooms and Arts & Crafts-influenced detailing; and Grade II listed buildings requiring conservation-led design approaches.

The first step is to get in touch with some information about your project — including the location, type of property, architectural period, timescale, scope of work, and any plans or photographs you may already have.

We will respond within one business day and arrange an initial conversation to understand your property, your vision, and how we may be able to help. This initial discussion is always relaxed and without obligation.

Yes. We have experience working on Grade II listed properties and other heritage buildings. For listed buildings, we work closely with conservation officers, heritage consultants, and specialist craftspeople to ensure that all design proposals are sympathetic to the building's listed status and comply with any relevant planning conditions.
