Verity Woolf
British interior designer Verity Woolf is the founder and creative force behind WOOLF Interior Architecture & Design. With more than 30 years of experience spanning film, architecture and interior design, Verity creates distinctive homes and hospitality interiors shaped by character, craftsmanship and a strong sense of place.
A Curatorial Approach to Interior Design
Verity approaches each interior as a story to be discovered rather than a style to be imposed. Architecture, history, art and the personality of the people who inhabit a space all inform the design journey.
Her interiors are layered rather than prescribed, bringing together bespoke furniture and joinery, antiques, contemporary pieces, art, colour and carefully considered materials. In historic buildings, this means understanding what should be preserved and celebrated while confidently introducing the contemporary elements required for modern life.
The result is interiors with individuality: spaces that feel collected, characterful and deeply connected to their owners or the places they inhabit.
Recognition
Under Verity's creative direction, WOOLF Interior Architecture & Design has been recognised by Country & Town House as one of the 50 Finest Interior Designers 2026/27 and as a Great British Brand.
In 2026, Verity was also shortlisted for Interior Designer of the Year at The Brit List Awards, recognising her approach to creating distinctive commercial and hospitality interiors shaped by people, place and purpose.
These accolades reflect an approach Verity has developed throughout her career: combining creative imagination with architectural understanding, respecting the character and history of a building while creating interiors that feel relevant, personal and enduring.

FOUNDER & RESIDENTIAL
& COMMERCIAL DESIGN DIRECTOR
British interior designer Verity Woolf has more than 30 years of experience across film, architecture and interior design. She began her career as an art director and production designer in film and television, developing an instinctive understanding of character, composition and narrative — qualities that continue to shape her approach to interiors today.
After moving into architectural practice as a senior interior designer, Verity established WOOLF in 2009. Since then, she has created distinctive residential and hospitality interiors for clients drawn to her discreet, collaborative and highly personal approach.
Verity approaches each project with the eye of a curator, bringing together bespoke pieces, antique furniture, contemporary design and art to create interiors with depth and individuality. Rather than imposing a prescribed aesthetic, she responds to the architecture, history and character of a property alongside the personalities and passions of the people who inhabit it.
Experienced in working alongside architects and specialist teams on complex and highly detailed schemes, Verity's work spans interior architecture, interior design and decoration, with a particular focus on high-end residential properties and luxury hotels.
