DCL Interior Design was established in Hampstead, London, in 2003 by Danielle Lee.

 

I was born in Africa, grew up in Iraq and Surrey, and originally trained as a pianist before travelling solo for a couple of years across the developing world, returning to study interior design post-graduate. I began my design career working for a prestigious Mayfair developer in 2001. 

​

My team and I offer an experienced, friendly, and highly personal service committed to creating and overseeing stylish private residences and small commercial interiors. 

​

Our commissions vary from large country mansions to single urban rooms, and my ethic is to create spaces specific to an occupier's taste and lifestyle.  I believe in budgeting carefully and spending wisely, always mindful of installation and user practicalities which good design demands, as well as the aesthetic impact and feeling from a space. I am committed to always providing a fully considered and thoughtful approach to the details of each project.

​

We do not have a particular house style as I appreciate and embrace many different aesthetics and have designed and specified projects across a wide variety of styles and budgets, from architectural urban bachelor pads to classic family homes and luxury mansions.

​

Working mainly with private clients, we also undertake commissions for developers, formulating  design specifications and working drawings for furniture layouts, finishes and lighting schemes.
