Chelsea has become London’s go-to destination for home and interior design, and our newest showroom is located right at the heart of the district, on bustling Fulham Road.
So why not treat yourself to a day out in home decor heaven… A coffee, perhaps a leisurely lunch, and a lot of browsing beautiful things. Here are six particularly lovely Chelsea showrooms you really mustn't miss...
1) For colour heaven... Farrow & Ball
249 Fulham Road, SW3 6HY
The undisputed masters of colour ever since their foundation by a pair of chemists in 1946 – of course you know all about Farrow & Ball. But nothing beats seeing the full palette of 132 paint colours and all those amazing papers in person – and in the showroom you can chat to an expert about creating colour schemes, choosing finishes or even what colour to paint your ceiling. Chromology bliss… More info.
2) For tile inspiration... Mandarin Stone
255 Fulham Road, SW3 6HY
We absolutely love Mandarin Stone’s tiles – in fact, we’ve collaborated with them on some of our favourite ever kitchens (see the sensational splashback in the Harpley kitchen, for example.) In the two-levelFulham Road showroom you can explore the entire collection of tiles sourced from around the world… Natural stone, porcelain, marble, mosaics, patterned tiles – any tile you’ve dreamed of and a lot more you haven’t discovered yet… More info.
3) For English elegance... Colefax and Fowler
110 Fulham Road, SW3 6HU
Founded in the 1930s by design royalty Sybil Colefax and John Fowler, and subsequently led by the great Nancy Lancaster, Colefax and Fowler have been the guardians of good taste in English fabric and wallpaper design for almost a century. Pop into their showroom on Fulham Road for a dose of truly timeless elegance. More info.
4) For all things beautiful... Barnbury
114-116 Fulham Road, SW3 6HU
Accessories, furniture, lighting, vintage pieces, home fragrances, art – Barnbury is an emporium of home delights. The Barnbury concept was founded in 2014 by design duo Jonathan Sellwood and Jonathan Parkin, who combined their creative talent to curate a hand-picked selection of beautiful things for the home. They also have a lovely studio in the Cotswolds, and for design lovers their Fulham Road place is an essential stop on any Chelsea expedition. More info
5) For sensational lighting... Pooky
The Furniture & Arts Building, 533 Kings Road, London, SW10 0TZ
Pooky have rather taken the lighting world by storm in recent years with their enormous range of beautiful decorative lights (lights that look as though they cost a fortune, but somehow don’t). Their pendant lights have illuminated quite a few of our kitchens, and their showroom on the Kings Road is well worth a trip. More info.
(And while you’re there you can visit the many other fascinating stores in that unmistakable big green beauty that is the Furniture & Arts Building. Jak’s restaurant and nightclub in the basement does an amazing buffet lunch).
6) And for your beautiful bespoke kitchen... Naked Kitchens!
120 Fulham Rd, SW3 6HU
Well of course… We’re delighted to open our newest showroom in this destination for design lovers. Do come in and see us to talk about your new bespoke kitchen built just for you.
For the best experience, we recommend booking a discovery visit with one of our designers. They will be able to talk to you about your project, show you our samples and examples, and help you to bring your dream kitchen to life. Book your visit here.
(PS. you can also see lots of our inspiring kitchens in our Bloomsbury showroom)
