London and Tetbury, UK

Celebrated for his ‘classic yet whimsical’ style, interior designer Sean Symington creates spaces where traditional foundations meet a joyful, adventurous spirit. Based in London and Tetbury, he leads a close-knit team focused on each client’s individuality, needs, and wants. His process often begins with a standout piece, hero print, or striking fabric, from which the palette unfolds. Championing layered, evolving interiors, Sean encourages a fearless approach to design. Committed to maintaining a boutique practice, he ensures every project remains personal, authentic, and beautifully considered.

A cozy living room with built-in shelves, a white fireplace, patterned armchairs, a striped coffee table, and a colorful abstract portrait hanging above the mantel. Books, pottery, and flowers add decorative touches.
