Interior Designer in Kingston upon Thames
Mond Design Interiors is a boutique interior design studio based a short drive away in Wimbledon, SW19. We work with homeowners across Kingston upon Thames, Surbiton and New Malden who want their homes to feel genuinely considered, not just furnished, but designed around how they actually live.
Every project is led personally by Karina, founder of the studio and a BIID-accredited interior designer. There are no account managers, no junior designers, and no handoffs. The person you speak to on your first call is the person designing your home from concept to final styling.
Designing for Kingston's Housing Stock
Few areas in SW London have a housing stock as varied as Kingston's, and that variety shapes how we approach every project here.
Victorian terraces in Norbiton and New Malden tend to come with narrow footprints, period features worth protecting — cornicing, sash windows, original fireplaces — 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 — 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 — 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.
Recent Work in Kingston
We recently completed a full bathroom transformation for a family home in Kingston upon Thames, taking a tired, cramped layout and turning it into a calm, spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower, bespoke storage and brushed brass fittings throughout.
Why BIID Accreditation Matters
Mond Design Interiors is accredited by the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) — a mark that requires meeting rigorous professional standards and maintaining a verified portfolio of completed work. It's what separates a trained interior designer from a decorator, and it gives Kingston clients a reliable benchmark when deciding who to trust with their home and budget.
