Boutique interior design for private residences and select commercial spaces. Every project is personal, considered, and entirely your own.
"We start with the people who will inhabit the space — their habits, their tastes, the way light falls in their home at different times of day. Only then do we begin to design."
Maison Elara is a boutique interior design studio founded in London in 2011. We work with a deliberately small number of clients each year, giving every project the time and attention it deserves. Our work spans private residences, country homes, and carefully selected commercial and hospitality spaces.
Every project is led personally by our principal designer, with a small, trusted team of craftspeople, contractors, and suppliers we have built relationships with over many years.

Working with Maison Elara transformed not just our home but the way we live in it. Every room feels considered, personal, and entirely ours. We could not have imagined it without them.— C. & R. Whitmore, Private Residence, Surrey
