Richardson & Veale was founded by lifelong friends Caroline Richardson and Pippa Veale, bringing together professional experience and a shared interest in English interiors, the decorative arts, history and travel. Our work is shaped by a long-standing appreciation for craftsmanship, traditional materials and the quiet character that develops in a well-lived home.

Each decorative design project is approached as a close collaboration. We take time to understand how our clients live, what they enjoy being surrounded by and how their home needs to function day to day. This early understanding allows us to create interiors that feel natural, comfortable and enduring.

Our approach is thoughtful as well as practical. We believe the best interiors evolve over time, layering colour, pattern and texture to create spaces that feel balanced and personal. We work with a trusted network of skilled makers, upholsterers, curtain makers and specialist suppliers, whose workmanship ensures a consistently high standard of finish throughout.

Our projects range from town houses and period country homes to contemporary properties. Whatever the scale, our aim is always the same: to create interiors that feel settled, individual and entirely at home.
