20 | LUXlife Magazine Enduring Luxury Interior Design Services It is the mission of Alison Henry Design Studio to craft bespoke interiors that stand the test of time, with its affinity for the classic and the timeless leading to enduring designs fitting of the company’s luxury status. Led by the guiding principle “design once well”, the work Alison Henry does is defined by quality craftsmanship, with this present right across the designs she spearheads. Named in this feature as the Most Timeless Luxury Interior Designer 2025 – London, we caught up with Alison to learn more about her eponymous design studio. In the mind of Alison Henry, the experienced interior designer who has taken this space by storm over the past 25 years, less is more. Whether she is working on an urban townhouse in the heart of London, a property in a quaint village in the Cotswolds, or even a seductive and stylish interior in a Hong Kong hotel, Alison has a habit of turning everything she touches into an undisputed design masterpiece. Meticulously selecting projects based on a combination of architectural capacity and whether or not a brief touches her soul, Alison boasts a keen eye for potential, which paves the way for her exceptional ability to transform tired spaces into timeless environments reflective of a client’s personality and tastes – now as well as in the future. She and her team achieve this by always respecting the original architecture of a space, seamlessly integrating their designs with the existing surroundings. “We create interiors that not only complement the buildings they inhabit but remain fresh, comfortable, and inviting for modern, everyday living.” Thus, as a result of both its steadfast dedication to excellence and the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation connoted by every design lining its incredibly impressive portfolio, Alison Henry Design Studio serves as a beacon of luxury design prowess. As for what luxury means to her on a personal level, Alison told us: “Luxury encompasses elegance, quality, and individuality, epitomising a unique sense of grandeur and exclusivity in interior design.” Ensuring that she hits these markers on every project she executes, Alison leverages what she describes as a “playful sense of scale”, making bold statements with oversized pieces, objet d’art works, and other such custom designs and finishes. These “signatures of luxury” add to the character of a space, with Alison always leaving room for additional details and layers to be incorporated over time – futureproofing against evolving style trends. With clients from all over the world in the luxury sector today being more willing to invest in both high-quality products and well-designed spaces, the timeless design services delivered by Alison Henry Design Studio are becoming more popular than ever. Navigating this shift so as to continue to deliver the maximum possible value for its clients, the company has started to offer a design consultancy service as well as a full design package. Alison’s commitment to crafting enduring spaces comprising products of an unrivalled quality can be seen further in her partnership with Officine Gullo, a designer specialising in bespoke kitchens. Alison explained: “As a brand ambassador, I have had the privilege of experiencing firsthand the meticulous attention to detail that goes into every kitchen – from selecting exquisite marble slabs to witnessing the production process in Florence.” Moving out of the home environment, aside from her experiences designing for prestigious locations such as The Dorchester in London and The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, Alison is also well versed when it comes to designs for private clubs, restaurants, and even yachts. The diverse nature of her work means that Alison not only has a comprehensive knowledge of the sector, but also a wealth of international suppliers and craftsmen to call on. On the back of both the consistency of its work and the calibre of its projects, the first half of 2025 has been excellent for Alison Henry Design Studio, a trend it is expecting to continue. It is Alison’s aim for the rest of the year and beyond to continue to grow the brand, something exciting projects such as a queer gallery and café in the centre of the Fitzrovia district – which she and her team recently completed – are seeing to on a daily basis. Having travelled extensively over the course of her career and worked on a wealth of exciting projects both internationally and at home, in the UK, Alison Henry is capable of looking at designs holistically, keeping an open mind, and always bringing the unique vision of her client to life. As a result, it is our pleasure to celebrate both her and Alison Henry Design Studio with this hard-earned title.
