Rebecca James

 Award winning interior designer Rebecca James is what one would describe as a woman of many talents. After

a short stint as a ballet dancer and a decade long career as a fashion model travelling the world, she decided to

enrol in Chelsea School of Art, reinventing herself as an Interior designer. Secretly she had always wanted to

be a designer as she spent her childhood rearranging her dormitory room in Elmhurst Ballet School.

Rebecca personally sources and designs a lot of her furniture herself as she believes that her interiors should

represent her client’s needs. She reflects

“I’m inspired by observing people’s passions and I believe that my interiors

should be as unique as one’s DNA with each detail reflecting an individual’s 

inner character; this approach can often lead to daring and outrageous creations”. 

 A “Designer’s” designer, her opinions are highly respected in the industry and she has

penned numerous articles for some of the world’s top design publications.

Description:  Asian/European fusion Restaurant

Location:    Westfield, London

Size: 2,300 square feet

Brief 

 To make a fashionable restaurant with a dash of Miami magic in the East end of London.

Outcome

 The idea behind the design was to be fun, fashionable and appealing. Girls in jumpsuits and gold stilettos,

 WAGs and fun loving families wanting a little taste of the trendy restaurants of London. The clientele loves to

frequent designer stores and want to be “wowed”. The designs were inspired by a classic Art Deco 1930’s

Chanel light and the current designer boutiques of today with their block colouring and detailed emblems.

 They were further enhanced with architectural details so that the restaurant became free flowing, beautiful and

functional.

Description:  Private member’s Club 

Location:  St James’s, London

Size:  1,240 square feet

Brief 

Interior Desires was commissioned to revive this famous 1960’s club by adding a touch of glamour and

sophistication.

Outcome

 The entire space was stripped out and rooms reconfigured to best maximize the limited space. Rebecca and her

team decided to give the club a modern day speak easy feel infusing what she describes as “Tartan on acid” intothe design. Distressed oak panelled walls, funky tartans, antique mirrors and a quirky antique chandelier make

this club one of a kind. Since its inception in January 2012, the club has attracted famous patrons such as

Prince Harry, Kate Moss and Rihanna to name a few.

and hidden gems in each of the rooms. This townhouse has become an award winning project featured in

numerous publications around the world.

Brief  To create an interesting and vibrant interiors that complimented the client’s vast art collection which they had

collected on their travels. The clients entertain a lot so they wanted their interiors to serve as a talking point.

talking point became the good old fashioned cloak room for guests which was covered in vibrant Fornasetti

 Wallpaper; therefore making the loo an artwork upon itself.

still respecting the traditional structure and preserving the original architectural elements.
