Verity Woolf Shortlisted for Interior Designer of the Year 2026
The Brit List Awards 2026
WOOLF Interior Architecture & Design is delighted to announce that founder Verity Woolf has been shortlisted for Interior Designer of the Year in The Brit List Awards 2026.
The recognition celebrates Verity’s approach to interior design and the work of the wider WOOLF studio, creating distinctive commercial and hospitality interiors shaped by people, place and purpose.
Interior Designer of the Year 2026
The Brit List Awards celebrate leading talent across interior design, architecture and hospitality.
For WOOLF, Verity’s inclusion in the Interior Designer of the Year shortlist reflects an approach developed across hotels, hospitality destinations and commercial properties in the UK and internationally.
Each project begins by understanding the building, the client and the people who will ultimately experience the space.
Commercial Interiors with a Distinctive Identity
WOOLF creates commercial interiors that bring together interior architecture, design, brand identity and guest experience.
Working with hotel groups, independent operators, developers and private investors, the studio approaches each project individually — responding to its architecture, location, commercial objectives and audience rather than imposing a signature style.
The result is characterful, considered design with a strong sense of identity and a narrative that can continue to support the property long after completion.
Designing for People, Place and Performance
Successful commercial interiors need to do more than make an immediate visual impression.
WOOLF considers how people arrive, move through and experience a property; how spaces need to perform operationally; and how interior architecture, materiality, furniture, lighting, art and detailing can work together to create a coherent experience.
For historic and listed properties, this also means understanding the character of the existing building and finding ways for its story to continue evolving.
Across every project, the aim is to create interiors that feel distinctive to their setting, memorable to their guests and relevant for years to come.
From luxury hotels and independent hospitality destinations to historic buildings and development-led projects, discover WOOLF's approach to creating commercial interiors with unique personalities.
