Dauphine Interiors

LONDON, UK

Catherine Olley is an interior designer and founder of Dauphine Interiors, based in London. Influenced by her upbringing, she believes the best homes are gradually cultivated through thoughtful collecting. Her first flat, completed on a budget, was featured in House & Garden as “a masterclass in craftsmanship and creativity.” By approaching each room individually, incorporating personalised touches and sourcing second-hand pieces, she creates a refined, mature aesthetic. Catherine’s philosophy is that creating a beautiful home doesn’t require spending a fortune, it requires care, intention, and considered choices.
