Swedish-born Kerstin Williams started designing interiors for the busy rental market in the 1980s and soon got a reputation for producing designs which were understated, calm and comfortable. Much of her inspiration comes from her love and appreciation of Art and Architecture as well as the light and designs from her native Scandinavia.
The Company keeps a low profile and new commissions have come entirely through “word of mouth” recommendations. Their many private clients have taken them to China, Tokyo, Singapore, France, Monte Carlo, Geneva and Turkey as well as across the UK. Kerstin’s daughter, Susanna joined the team in December 2021 after over 18yrs in the business working for companies such as Robert Kime and Alex Kravetz Design.
The scope of our work ranges from single rooms to full interior design turn key services. We enjoy the array of projects and each new brief that comes with the properties. We offer a friendly and stress-free service, ensuring that the client gets the most out of the experience from beginning to end.

"Reid Williams Design is known for its calm and elegant interiors. We love to blend classic and contemporary pieces together to create a style that is both timeless and personal to each client.

Please describe a recently completed project or tell us about the bespoke service that you offer
"Kerstin and her team have recently completed a stunning apartment in Grovesnor Sq in London for an international client. For this, we offered a full turn-key service including bespoke joinery and furniture design. We continue to work closely with his client on other projects in both Paris and Africa.
In addition to this, we have completed the interior design for a beautiful riverside property for a family in Oxfordshire. Here we offered a full interior design service including a bespoke kitchen, joinery and furniture. This project was a joy to work on, with a young family who love colour, texture and design.
Furthermore, we have recently completed 2 apartments in Chelsea for private clients and both are very different in style. The first is a modern penthouse with lots of glass and light wood flooring. We offered a bespoke service for joinery and furniture as well as sourcing additional furniture and lighting items. We also gave the apartment a full redecoration with both patterned and textured wallcovering. The second apartment was far more classic in style and we introduced panelling in the corridor and more classical pieces of furniture, whilst adding in additional contemporary items to bring character to the property."
