OMG, what a guy!!! Ash "The Duke" exceeded every expectation we had. We needed our hotel designed and refurbished within 2 months. We didn't tell Ash, but thought if he tell him 2 months; he'll get it done in 3 months. This guy actually got it done in 2 months, resulting in an extra month's revenue for us. In addition, our hotel is in great demand due to the design. Let me tell you, there are interior designers and then there is Ash...

WOW!!!
Thank you Ash. I love the way you have changed the interior of my drab house. What a wonderful experience. I am really grateful for the awesome service i received. Thank you for making my interior so unique and tailor made to suit my vision as well as within my budget. I would recommend you to every person i know. You went above and beyond in order to create a dream home for myself and my family. How wonderful to just stand back and allow such a brilliant mind and a brilliant architect to run with an idea and create something so special. Thank you very much. More...

Architectural Services

Such a talented architect, beyond expectations!
I can only strongly recommend Ashish for any interior design project. Ashish covered the complete redesign of my 1 bed flat into a 2 bedroom flat. It was a tricky project for a quirky home, but Ash came with solutions tailored to my flat, whilst taking into account my taste and my budget constraints.
In every step of the project, he went above and beyond, by pro-actively making suggestions. He was always very responsive and made this whole process seamless and very reassuring.
This was my first project and I was quite anxious by it, but Ashish made it so much easier and could not be happier we worked together on this. Thank you Ash!

We initially asked Ash to help us with two bedrooms in our townhouse but we were so impressed we ended up using her for the whole house! We found him really easy and fun to work with. They emailed across a number of comprehensive initial design ideas for each room and then worked with us to come up with a final scheme. Changing things or finding alternatives was never a problem and we felt that he wanted us to be completely happy with the end result, no matter how long it took. Ash listens carefully, so you end up with great designs and fresh ideas but the rooms still feel like your home. We liked Ash’s pricing transparency and he shares all her discounts with his clients, so it works out more cost effective. He also kept budgets in mind and offered alternatives at different price points which was very helpful. We very much enjoyed working with Duke of Design and we are delighted with the results. We found them to be very professional without being stuffy and we would thoroughly recommend them. More...

Can't speak highly enough of this firm. We have done two major house renovations since buying a house in 2010. The first time round we decided to engage a contractor ourselves. The process was stressful to say the least. The second time round we decided to find a good architect to help us with the process. We spoke to several architects but on a neighbor's recommendation we contacted Duke of Design. We felt he had an immediate understanding of what we wanted to do. There were certain period features of the house which we wanted to preserve and not design something which clashed too much with the rest of the house. Working with Ash was a pleasure all round. We were completely redoing our downstairs area and we wanted to make sure it felt like it seamlessly remained part of the house. Ash had some great ideas to integrate a completely redesigned internal stairwell, new master bedroom, en suite bathroom and walk-in closet. After the initial visit Ash presented 3 different design concepts of which we were able to choose one and integrate ideas from the other concepts as necessary. The whole process of arriving at final designs was a pleasure and all I can say is that there was a meeting of minds - Ash got what we were trying to do and it almost seemed like they were reading our minds in advance at times.

I loved working with Ash and his team and would highly recommend anyone looking for an interior designer who brings creativity but designs something that fits YOU. I was initially nervous about working with a designer because a) I had a budget and b) I had my own ideas and opinions about what I wanted. Many designers blow the budget and force you into styles that don't fit your personality. Not Ash. He knew where to push and where to evolve his own creativity to fit my interests and taste. AND we stayed within budget. I now LOVE every room in my house including the backyard. Duke of Design also did a great job working under pressure. Finally, his team operate with the highest amount of integrity. I have the utmost trust for him and never had a problem leaving him in my home to work while I was away. We are now finished with this home but if we move into another one I will ABSOLUTELY use them again! More...

I am thrilled to have found Duke of Design
I scheduled an appointment with them, after seeing their extensive and impressive portfolio, and fell in love with Ash’s energy and work immediately.
I was sick of making costly purchases and mistakes, and the number of decisions, options, and vendors was mind numbing, and I didn't know where to start.

One of my favorite things I did with Ash was picking out wonderful paint colors and wallpapers that really opened up and accented the space.
The colors and accent wall colors she chose make my space look very clean, modern and architectural. I love it! Definitely a major improvement to my living space.
Before deciding to hire Ash, I kept messing up and painting the walls over and over again, which was expensive, costly and annoying.

Ash helped hone in on the style, and we also picked out the perfect furniture, accessories, lighting items, and floor coverings.
I am 100% convinced that I got superior design and quality pieces, moreso than I could have picked myself.

Ash thought of numerous elements that I didn't even consider and she really knows where to get the best items at the best prices.

He is professional and courteous, as well as efficient and surprisingly very fair on the pricing.He took my opinions into consideration, and went above and beyond to make fantastic design choices.

Everything turned out great! My house is now modern, luxurious and looks like a 5 star resort!Everyone who walks in comments on how incredible my place looks. I am also very comfortable and happy with the outcomes.
Bhai ne dil kush kar diya !
I have already recommended Duke of Design to family and friends. Everyone is thrilled.
Thank you, Ash

Duke of Design were in-charge of the full refurbishment of my flat on Elgin Avenue in Maida Vale, London. It was an exclusive, high-spec and a very high-end rental property. I loved their mood board presentations with all the samples. It really helped me visualise what the end product would look like.
They also created detailed layouts of wall finishes, furniture layouts, reconfiguration of some rooms, lighting, electrical plans and furnishing accessories/styling products. I was very impressed with the detailed schemes and how they understood my vision of the outcome. They really took the stress out of the job and made it a pleasant experience. Highly recommend them.

We hired Ash for full refurbishment of our 4 bed property - 1950’s house. His approach helped us to incorporate our ideas into practical living spaces. The house now looks spacious and purpose made for our family.

He sourced our furniture as well- finishing touches like switch plates, door handles, be-spoke blinds, mood lighting etc added to the eclectic touch.

Highly recommend Duke of Design for any refurbishment or home improvement.
