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.

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.

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.
