Based in the UK and with projects worldwide, Melissa Wyndham Ltd features as one of House and Garden’s leading interior design practices.

Since 1985 they’ve developed a portfolio of understated elegance, and a body of work spanning classic country houses, modern flats, and ski chalets. They’re admired for their flexible approach, artful pairing of the contemporary and antique, and ability to work collaboratively with their clients to meet both practical needs and aesthetic tastes.
