Your Interior Designer in Clapham

Studio Benaki is an interior design studio for Clapham homeowners, shaping expressive, personal and highly functional homes across Clapham, South West London and beyond.

Our work brings together heritage, craftsmanship and refined execution, creating warm, soulful interiors that sit naturally within Clapham’s vibrant community and rich architectural character.

Founded by Maria Benaki, the studio blends creative intuition with strong technical expertise to design homes that feel contemporary yet timeless, thoughtful yet beautifully aligned with the rhythm of modern living. Maria’s design approach draws on her civil engineering background and her cultural roots between Greece and the UK, giving her a rare ability to merge creativity with structure. This balance allows the studio to create homes that are visually expressive, deeply practical and rooted in the way people live in their homes.

Our interior design services in Clapham support homeowners who want to elevate their living spaces with a seamless blend of creativity, function and clarity.

We guide clients through every stage of the design process, from early concept development and spatial planning to bespoke joinery, furniture and materials sourcing, soft furnishings, lighting schemes and final styling. We also coordinate with contractors and manage implementation to deliver a calm, structured and enjoyable experience from beginning to end.

Whether redesigning a Victorian terrace in Clapham Old Town, rethinking a period conversion near Clapham Junction or furnishing a modern apartment, we tailor our approach to your home, your needs and your aspirations. Every detail is considered, from the flow and proportion of rooms to atmosphere, practicality and comfort.

Whether the project is a single room or a full renovation, we create interiors that are thoughtful, cohesive and built to last.

As the founder and creative director of Studio Benaki, Maria Benaki brings together technical insight and expressive design.

Her engineering background gives her a strong understanding of structure and functionality, while her design sensibility introduces warmth, personality and depth. This combination shapes the studio’s aesthetic: contemporary, characterful and grounded in thoughtful, functional foundations.

Maria begins each project by understanding how you live, your habits, your aspirations and the atmosphere you want to create. She studies the property’s proportions, architectural details and potential, ensuring each design feels connected to its setting. The studio’s philosophy is rooted in purpose, setting, personality and sustainability, resulting in interiors that honour history, celebrate individuality and prioritise longevity and conscious material choices.

Across Clapham’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Georgian cottages and modern apartments, Maria designs homes that respect architectural authenticity while embracing clarity, comfort and modern ease. The outcome is a home that feels timeless, deeply personal and uniquely aligned with its setting.

Morer About Us

We’d never worked with an interior designer before and weren’t looking for a full redecoration—just some guidance. Maria was approachable, friendly, and really understood our needs as a young family. She gave us practical, creative ideas for storage and layout, along with moodboards and mock-ups that made it easy to picture the changes. She also has great contacts with reliable tradespeople, which takes away a lot of hassle. We loved how tailored the service felt and would highly recommend Maria to anyone—whether your project is big or small.

We worked with Maria on our 4-bed home renovation. Including the interiors for the open plan kitchen & living area, all the bedrooms & bathrooms. Maria was professional throughout the process, she listened carefully to our needs, understood our goals and always delivered fresh ideas and a creative vision that we couldn't have achieved without her. The transformation of our whole house has been incredible and our experience working with Studio Benaki was truly enjoyable. Throughout the process, Maria was attentive, approachable, and detail-oriented, taking away the stress and giving us confidence on our choices throughout the project. Our home now feels very functional & personal to us and we simply love it. We’re so grateful for her work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Studio Benaki to anyone looking to renovate their home.
