René Dekker A Luxury Interior Designer

Trend-setting luxury interior designer and interior architect Rene Dekker is known around the world in the interiors industry for his uncompromising attention to detail, and his impeccable sense of quality and luxury. "I wouldn't say I have a signature style, but three words that describe my work would be: considered, tailored, refreshing. We don't have a House Style so I think potential clients understand that we can give them what they think they want. On top of this we are creative, efficient and organised, which is what clients should expect."

René admits that although every job is different, there are some constants that he adheres to regardless of the scale or requirements of the project. "I've worked on a variety of schemes around the world in China, Russia, South Africa, USA, Europe and here in the UK. These include residential apartments to luxury homes and yachts, to commercial interior design work such as hotels, spas and restaurants. But the one thing I do for every project I undertake is to follow the same procedure from start to finish with integrity."

I thought 'could something that is so creative and so much fun be a real job?' It seemed it was, and I was delighted!”

Did you need any qualifications?

“Yes, I did a qualification in South Africa, and soon after graduating I started work on my own designs as well as gaining invaluable experience with other designers. Once I got to a certain level of experience, I decided the best place to come to for the next step of my career, would be the UK. So I moved here in 1999.”
