Adam Bray is an interior designer based in London

with over 25 years’ experience working internationally on

Antiques market for his clients and has designed textiles,

colour ranges, furniture and lighting for various retailers.

His reputation for making comfortable rooms that are

luxurious, eclectic and unpretentious is based on a deep

of materials.

With a small, diligent team highly skilled in architectural

detailing and project management Adam’s studio marries

traditional decorating techniques, values and aesthetics

with modern technology and service.

His unique interiors bristle with moody colour, sensual texture and carefully

curated antiques. But Adam Bray is also down to earth, delivering ‘the most

comfortable house possible and dealing with the practicalities of life’. Clients

get the full benefit of his 25 years in antiques, plus a deep understanding of

specialist materials, a highly attuned colour sense and an intelligent approach.

Background

After leaving school at 16, Adam worked for antiques dealers in London and New

York, then opened his own shop in Notting Hill. He says that he became interested in

interior design through his clients, and today his creative studio focuses on private

homes. Adam has created paint colours for Papers and Paints and Plain English and

has his own range of furniture, lighting and fabrics.

Projects

Adam is working on a house in Chester Square SW1, a Nash cottage in Regent’s

Park, a family estate in East Sussex and a pub in east London. Other projects

include custom-coloured cashmere blankets with a Welsh knitwear factory.

Industry recommendation

‘Adam looks for unusual furniture and textiles, whether tribal or silk damask,

creating unpretentious spaces with a twist. His sense of humour shines through

his work,’ says textiles designer Christine Van Der Hurd.
