Established in 1993 by Karen Howes, our interior design studio has redefined a new benchmark for remarkable interiors and exquisite furnishings. Our work is regularly sought-after by the world’s press and media, and we are proud to be recognised as a Great British Brand, having received over 15 awards and have been included in the House & Garden Top 100 Designers 2021 list. These achievements serve as a barometer for our profile in London’s creative heart.
Based in the old Aston Martin Showroom in the heart of Knightsbridge, just a short walk from Harrods, the Taylor Howes headquarters is testament to the ethos of the company. Occupying five thousand square feet across two floors, the studio is used to showcase the many talented artisans and artists that Taylor Howes champions alongside its specialist suppliers.
Rather than sourcing only ‘off-the-shelf’, the interior design team invests a large amount of time in developing strong relationships with a wide range of incredibly talented craftspeople and designer-makers. In doing this, we are able to provide our clients with design solutions that are truly unique, elegant and of superlative quality.
The Taylor Howes culture is driven by three words: Be Passionate, Be Honest and Be Kind. Be passionate about what we do, be honest about how we deliver, be kind in the way in which we regard and respect each other and our clients.
Every member of our team knows the importance of these qualities and benefits from them too. Relaxed and welcoming, our interior design team does not promote one signature look but, instead concentrates on giving our clients a home that is truly personal and special to them.
The soul of Taylor Howes is echoed in our ‘true design for living’ approach. Exquisite details, bold use of colour, balance and symmetry, spaces infused with a quiet glamour: these are the hallmarks of the Taylor Howes touch. Originality of craftsmanship, inventive techniques and human empathy, are all inspired by our studio’s founder, Karen Howes, who has challenged the way interior design is seen and practiced for over twenty-five years.
Our team of designers interpret each client’s passions and style to provide innovative and exquisite interiors, curating furniture, textiles, even art and antiques. Interior spaces are often completely re-imagined beyond the decorative, to eliminate boundaries between the built environment and a better way of life.
Guided by the studio’s philosophy of interpreting unique true design for living, our design collection ranges from a line of furniture conceived by Taylor Howes’ in-house designers, to lighting, textiles and hardware through carefully chosen collaborations.
