Interior Designer in Kingston upon Thames
Mond Design Interiors is a residential interior design studio based in Wimbledon, serving homeowners in Kingston upon Thames, Surbiton and New Malden. We bring thoughtful, timeless home design to period homes, family houses and apartments ā creating spaces that feel personal, practical and beautifully considered.
Every project is led personally by Karina, founder of Mond Design Interiors and a BIID-accredited interior designer. From the initial consultation through to the final details, you work directly with the person designing your home, with a personal and considered approach throughout.
Interior Design for Kingston Homes
Kingston upon Thames has a wonderfully varied mix of properties, from Victorian terraces and Edwardian family homes to riverside apartments and contemporary houses. Each property brings its own opportunities and challenges, and our approach begins with understanding both the architecture and the way you want to live in your home.
Victorian terraces in Norbiton and New Malden tend to come with narrow footprints, period features worth protecting ā cornicing, sash windows, original fireplaces ā and layouts that were never designed for modern family life. We work with these constraints rather than against them, opening up ground-floor flow where it makes sense while keeping the character that makes these homes special.
Edwardian semis around Coombe Hill and the Kingston Hill area typically offer more generous proportions and higher ceilings, which gives us more scope for statement lighting, bolder colour and considered furniture layouts that let the architecture breathe.
Riverside apartments near Kingston Bridge and the Thames-side developments call for a completely different approach ā open-plan spaces, large windows, and a connection to the water that should influence every material and colour decision. Here the challenge is usually about editing: choosing fewer, better pieces so the space doesn't compete with the view.
Larger family houses in Hampton Wick, Surbiton and Tolworth are where we do our most detailed space-planning work ā balancing everyday practicality (storage, family flow, home-working spaces) with the elevated finish our clients are looking for.
Whatever the property type, our process starts the same way: understand the building, understand how you live in it, and design a space that works for both.
Interior Design for Kingston Renovations and Refurbishments
Many of our Kingston clients come to us just as they're starting to plan a renovation or refurbishment, wanting the finished home to feel like one considered scheme rather than a series of separate decisions.
We get involved from the early planning stages ā developing layouts, colour and material choices, lighting and bespoke joinery alongside the practical demands of the build. For Kingston's period terraces and Edwardian semis, that means working new elements in alongside original features; for the riverside apartments, it means a refurbishment that respects the openness of the space rather than cluttering it.
Whether it's one room or a whole house, we combine careful space planning with a considered eye for colour, texture and proportion.
Recent Work in Kingston
We recently completed a bathroom transformation for a family home in Kingston upon Thames, turning a tired and cramped space into a calm, contemporary retreat.
The design introduced a walk-in shower, bespoke storage, a streamlined vanity and carefully selected brushed brass fittings. The result was a bathroom that feels spacious and considered while providing the practical storage and functionality the family needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator?
