London, UK
Interior designer
at XUL Architecture
XUL Architecture is hiring an interior designer to join its team in London.
Overview
XUL Architecture is an established London based residential practice delivering integrated architecture and interiors for private homes.
We design carefully considered spaces that feel calm, intelligent and deeply personal to the people who live in them. Our work combines strong design thinking with commercial clarity, creating homes that are not only functional and well resolved, but genuinely beautiful places to live.
Our projects give designers the opportunity to explore material, light, proportion and atmosphere in a thoughtful way, shaping spaces that feel both visually refined and emotionally comfortable.
Our approach is informed by neuroarchitecture, understanding how light, material and spatial flow influence how people feel and function in their homes. You do not need prior experience in this area. What matters is curiosity, interest in how people live, and the ability to think rigorously about design decisions.
We are entering an exciting phase of growth and are looking for an experienced Interior Designer who is ready to take meaningful ownership of projects and play a visible role in shaping the interiors side of the practice.
This is a role for someone who wants responsibility.
The role
You will lead residential interior design projects from concept through to completion, working closely with clients, architects, consultants and contractors.
You will be trusted to:
- lead client meetings and articulate design ideas with clarity
- develop thoughtful concepts into resolved, technically coherent schemes
- shape the material palette, spatial character and overall atmosphere of the interiors
- manage FF&E schedules and procurement processes
- balance aesthetic ambition with budget control
- coordinate confidently with architects and technical teams
- maintain project momentum and meet agreed deadlines
Who this role suits
This role will suit someone who:
- has five to 10 years’ of residential interior design experience
- enjoys making decisions and taking ownership of them
- understands both design quality and financial clarity
- can manage multiple projects under minimal supervision
- stays calm and solution focused when projects become challenging
- takes responsibility when something goes wrong and moves quickly to resolve it
You are someone who values doing things properly, takes quiet pride in being dependable, and wants the projects you are involved in to genuinely reflect your own standards.
Studio culture
We are a collaborative, design led studio that values thoughtful work and calm delivery.
We value:
- continuous improvement
- direct and constructive feedback
- a culture of trust, where you are given responsibility, clarity and the space to deliver your work with confidence
In a small team, everyone contributes to the tone and energy of the studio. We are looking for someone who brings maturity, steadiness and a positive mindset.
Growth and development
This role offers genuine progression.
You will have the opportunity to shape projects, influence internal systems and contribute to the evolution of our interiors offering. Strong performance will lead to increased autonomy and senior responsibility.
We will create the space and provide the support for those who want to keep developing and gradually take greater ownership of their role.
Details:
- London-based studio
- 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with an additional day per year of service (up to 25 days)
- flexible working hours
- one day working from home per week after probation
- discretionary profit share
This role is suited to a designer who wants to be trusted with real responsibility and who enjoys the balance of creative ambition and disciplined delivery.
If you are looking to take ownership of your projects within a thoughtful, design led environment, we would like to hear from you.
