Interior design in Chelsea.
Interiors for Chelsea townhouses and terraces, from cinema rooms to joinery. Designed, priced and fitted by one team.
Chelsea interiors, four times over.
NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle interior design and fit-out in Chelsea SW3, under one contract. Construction runs from £160 to £800 a sq ft, by scope and finish. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
We have completed four homes in Chelsea. Each had its interior designed with the build.
One is a 4,500 sq ft townhouse, opened up under a long rooflight.
Another runs over four floors, with a cinema room and a media wall.
A third was refurbished throughout. A fourth gained a basement and a kitchen extension.
Cochrane Bespoke, our joinery partner, made the joinery in all four.

Interior design in Chelsea, answered.
Have you designed interiors in Chelsea?
Yes, four homes, from a 4,500 sq ft townhouse to a four floor terrace.

We check the listing before design begins.

Usually, with care over where the outdoor units go.
The borough judges plant under Policy CD10, for its look and siting.
Our own MEP team designs and installs it.
