About
Behind the Design
Del Gatto Interiors is a London-based interior design studio founded in 2024, known for creating spaces defined by quiet luxury, emotional depth, and refined craftsmanship.
With a growing portfolio spanning residential and commercial projects, the studio works across the UK and Europe, designing homes, apartments, hospitality venues, and intimate retreats that are as timeless as they are personal. Each project is approached with a spirit of collaboration and curiosity, tailored to reflect the people who inhabit the space.
Drawing inspiration from nature, architecture, and the tactile world of art and craft, our work is rooted in material integrity, balance, and atmosphere. We create spaces that feel lived-in and layered, where elegance is never forced, and every detail has purpose.
At the heart of the studio is a commitment to designing with feeling: understanding how light, texture, and proportion shape not just environments, but experiences. We strive to elevate everyday living by bringing a sense of calm, comfort, and soul into every space.
Del Gatto Interiors partners closely with skilled makers, artisans, and suppliers to craft bespoke elements unique to each space, from custom joinery to hand-finished furniture and curated styling.
This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that every project feels distinctly tailored, with beauty embedded in the details.
Our Founder
Del Gatto Interiors was founded by Italian-born designer Paola Del Gatto, whose background in hospitality and interior design brings a unique sensibility to the studio’s work.
After completing her postgraduate training at the Academy of Interior Design in London, she contributed to award-winning projects across the capital before launching her own practice.
Paola’s creative path was shaped early on by the vibrant influence of her mother, a true creative force with an intuitive eye for style, detail, and atmosphere. Paola first discovered the emotional power of interiors and the art of shaping beautiful, lived-in environments through her mother's passion and inventive spirit.
Equally inspired by her father’s work in the technology and electronics sector, Paola developed a parallel curiosity for innovation and design solutions — a fascination that continues to inform her work today. Whether through integrated systems, efficient spatial planning, or lighting design, she brings a quiet, tech-savvy sensibility to her interiors, always in service of enhancing comfort and flow.
“To me, interior design sits at the intersection of feeling and function, where beauty has purpose. I find inspiration in the world around me, but most of all in the people I design for. Their stories shape the spaces we create. It’s about thoughtful details that quietly enhance everyday life. Nothing forced, nothing loud — just spaces that feel right. After all, home is more than a place. It’s how you feel in it. ”
Her approach is grounded in contrast and connection, balancing heritage with innovation, elegance with functionality, and emotion with precision. Her vision for the studio is simple: to create deeply personal interiors, soulfully designed, and built to last.
Our Ethos
At Del Gatto Interiors, we believe in design that listens before it speaks.
Every space begins with understanding — not just the layout, but the life that unfolds within it.
We don’t chase trends or obsess over style. Instead, we lean into restraint, layering materials, textures, and thoughtful contrasts to create lived-in environments, not just looked at. Beauty matters only when it serves how people move, feel, and connect within a space.
Intuition plays a quiet role in everything we do — knowing when to hold back, when to highlight, and when to let a space breathe. Whether drawing from tradition or embracing innovation, our aim is always to balance between precision and poetry, form and feeling, clarity and character.
We work closely with trusted craftspeople, makers, and suppliers who value detail as much as we do — those who understand that true luxury lies in quality, honesty, and things made to last.
Above all, our ethos is rooted in intention. Every decision is made with care. Every detail is considered. Because we don’t just design how a space looks — we shape how it lives.
Our Code
We champion craftsmanship
We value the hands behind the work. From local artisans to small international makers, we seek out independent businesses whose craft brings soul, story, and integrity to every space.
We design for wellbeing
A beautiful space should also be a supportive one — intuitive to live in, calming to experience, and designed to improve the way you feel, move, and rest.
We celebrate individuality
No two people live the same way — so we don’t design the same way twice. Each project is shaped by the lives, stories, and needs of the people within it.
We lead with curiosity
We approach every space with fresh eyes — exploring ideas, materials, and possibilities with a sense of discovery and openness.
We build with care
Sourcing responsibly. Respecting timelines. Collaborating with makers who share our standards. Every part of our process is grounded in consistency, clarity, and respect.
We integrate innovation thoughtfully
Technology is not the headline — it’s the hidden support. Used purposefully, it enhances comfort, improves flow, and enriches the everyday.
