Interior Design Company in Nairobi

Bespoke interiors, resolved from architecture to finish

Royalwoods Interiors is a Nairobi interior design company and fit-out studio for homes, workplaces and hospitality spaces that need more than off-the-shelf furniture. As professional interior designers and makers, we plan each room around the building, the people who use it and the objects it must hold, then translate that plan into measured drawings, workshop-made joinery and a carefully managed installation.

Our work ranges from one fitted wardrobe or feature wall to coordinated kitchens, dressing rooms, living spaces and turnkey, full-property fit-outs. Because design, fabrication and installation sit with one team, proportions, materials, lighting and practical details are resolved together instead of being passed between unrelated suppliers — whether it is custom interior design for a single room or an interior renovation across a whole home.

Fitted wardrobes and walk-in closets

Storage is designed from an audit of what you own and how you dress. We plan long and short hanging, drawers, shoe storage, mirrors, dressing tables and integrated LED lighting, then build the system to the exact wall and ceiling dimensions of your bedroom or dressing suite.

  • Made-to-measure internal layouts
  • Soft-close hardware and integrated lighting
  • Painted, veneered, glass and mirror finishes

Custom kitchens and living spaces

Kitchen interior design starts with balancing circulation, preparation, storage and entertaining. Our cabinetry coordinates appliances, worktops, task lighting and durable hardware, and the same architectural approach carries into living room interior design — media walls, studies, hallway storage and fitted joinery.

  • Kitchen planning and appliance coordination
  • Media walls, studies and concealed storage
  • Material palettes designed for daily use

Panelling, ceilings and complete fit-outs

Wall panelling, cornices, gypsum ceilings and architectural mouldings give a room its rhythm. For larger commissions we deliver a turnkey fit-out, coordinating these specialist finishes with cabinetry, lighting, electrical and decoration so the completed interior reads as one considered composition.

  • Full-height panelling and wainscoting
  • Cornices, ceiling details and lighting coves
  • Room, floor and whole-home fit-out delivery

Residential, Commercial & Hospitality

Interior design for homes, offices and hospitality

Every Royalwoods commission follows the same method — a measured survey, drawings you approve before anything is made, and joinery built to the millimetre — but the brief changes with the building. Whether you need professional interior designers for a family home in Karen, an executive lounge in Lavington or boutique suites in Westlands, one team carries the work from consultation to handover.

Our style follows the architecture and the people who use it: classical panelled rooms, clean contemporary and minimalist interiors, Scandinavian, industrial and modern African design, and luxury finishes wherever the brief calls for them.

Residential interior design

Houses, villas and apartments planned room by room — bedroom and walk-in closet, kitchen, living room and media wall, bathroom vanity and entrance hall — each drawn to the real dimensions of the property.

Commercial and office interiors

Offices, retail spaces and executive lounges need refined detailing that also tolerates daily use. We specify durable edges and serviceable hardware, and phase fabrication and installation around your working programme.

Hospitality interior design

Hotels, restaurants and boutique suites depend on consistency: panelling, headboards, cornices and joinery repeated precisely from room to room. We build to one approved drawing set and sequence installation around the operator.

Interior renovation services

Renovating an occupied home needs careful surveys, protected finishes and a realistic sequence. We match existing mouldings, correct awkward junctions and add modern storage and lighting — from a single room to a full villa.

Our Philosophy

Rooms should be composed, not decorated

Every Royalwoods project begins with proportion: the panel grid is drawn around your doors, windows and ceiling line before a single length of timber is cut. Mouldings are milled in our own workshop, primed, and only then brought to site — where scribing, fixing and finishing happen with cabinet-maker patience.

It is the discipline that separates joinery from decoration, and it is why our rooms photograph like editorial spreads and live like family homes.

Interior Design in Nairobi

Questions we are asked most

How do I choose the best interior design company in Nairobi?

Look for a studio that shows finished work photographed on its own sites, prepares measured drawings and a written quotation before anything is made, and takes responsibility for installation as well as design. That is how Royalwoods Interiors works — design, workshop fabrication and installation by one Nairobi team — and we invite you to judge us on the completed rooms in our portfolio and gallery.

What does an interior design consultation involve?

We talk through how you use each space, your preferred style, budget range and timeline, then visit the property to measure walls, openings and service positions. A detailed written quotation follows, typically within one week of the survey. You can book by phone, on WhatsApp on 0792 961 104, or through the consultation form.

How much do interior design services cost in Nairobi?

Cost depends on the size of the space, the materials, the finishes and the hardware, so we price your actual room rather than quote a flat rate. Share a budget range at the start and we will recommend the specification that makes the best use of it — from a single wardrobe or feature wall to a complete fit-out. Every quotation names its materials, finishes and hardware.

Are there affordable interior designers in Nairobi?

Affordable interior design is a matter of specification, not shortcuts. Give us a budget range and a priority list and we will recommend where to spend — the joinery you touch every day — and where to simplify, and we can phase the work room by room. Because every quotation names its materials, finishes and hardware, you can compare options before anything is made.

Do you do residential, commercial, retail and hospitality interior design?

Yes. We design and build residential interiors for houses, villas and apartments; commercial and office interiors; retail spaces; and hospitality spaces such as hotels, restaurants and boutique suites. The same measured, workshop-led method applies to each; only the detailing and durability requirements change.

What is turnkey interior design?

Turnkey, or full-service, interior design means one team takes the project from concept to handover: design concept and material palette, measured shop drawings, workshop fabrication, installation, coordination of lighting and other trades, decoration, snagging and cleaning. You deal with one point of responsibility instead of managing several suppliers.

Do you handle interior renovation as well as new fit-outs?

Yes. We renovate occupied homes with protected finishes and a realistic site sequence, match existing cornices and mouldings so new rooms join old ones, and add modern storage and lighting. It is the same design-and-build service, planned around a building that is already lived in.

Which interior design styles do you work in?

Our portfolio runs from classical and shaker panelled rooms to modern, contemporary and minimalist kitchens, wardrobes and living spaces, with luxury finishes where the brief calls for them. We also design in Scandinavian, industrial and modern African styles. We do not impose a house style: the design follows your architecture, how you live and the finishes you prefer.

Do you work outside Nairobi, across East Africa?

We work across Nairobi, Kiambu and Tatu City, and take on larger commissions elsewhere in Kenya and East Africa by arrangement. Tell us the location and scope when you enquire and we will confirm how we can support the project.
