Interior design in Prague and surrounding areas

An interior shaped around you and the way you live.

We design considered interiors for apartments and homes — from the overall concept through colours, materials and furnishings to the practical details of everyday use. The scope of the proposal is shaped around the property, your needs and the budget.

Prague and surrounding areas • design available as a standalone service

Looks alone

A room can look attractive and still fail the way people live, the upkeep it needs, or the purpose of the property.

Look and everyday use

A strong interior looks right, works in daily life, and takes maintenance and investment into account.

For homes, new builds and investment properties.

We assess each brief against the actual space. Not every project is a fit in the same scope.

  • Owners of apartments and houses who want an interior designed for their own home.
  • Owners of new builds who need a coherent plan before moving in.
  • Clients renovating an older property and looking for a clear next step.
  • Investors preparing a well-considered apartment or house for rent.
  • Overseas owners of Prague property who want the design handled from a distance.
  • Developers or estate-agency partners who need a design for a specific space.

What the design can include

From understanding the brief to material that others can work from.

The exact deliverables follow the type of project and what we agree. This is a typical range — not a fixed list every client receives.

  1. Consultation and understanding the brief

    We first need to understand how the space should work, for whom, and within which limits.

    • an opening conversation about daily use
    • priorities, pace and project limits
    • a reading of the layout and what the property allows
    • first advice on the next step
  2. Layout and how the space works

    We look at how people move through the apartment or house, where friction appears, and what can be arranged more clearly.

    • a layout proposal
    • working with daylight and circulation
    • separating quiet and shared areas
    • practical storage solutions
  3. Visual concept, colour and materials

    The atmosphere should hold together and still stand up to everyday use.

    • a visual direction and atmosphere
    • colour and a material palette
    • choices that consider upkeep and durability
    • a fit with the character of the property
  4. Furniture, lighting and styling

    Furniture, light and details are proposed within the agreed scope, not from a single catalogue.

    • furniture, lighting and furnishings
    • decoration and styling recommendations
    • selections that can be sourced within the agreed budget
    • final styling if you commission it
  5. Material for the next stage of work

    We hand over what the next step actually needs. Full project documentation and authorised construction drawings are not automatic.

    • a summary of the agreed direction
    • a brief for selected suppliers, by agreement
    • references for materials and furnishings
    • advice on a sensible order of work
  6. Coordination and preparing the space

    Trades, purchasing and a final set-up are not included by default. Where agreed, we can coordinate selected next steps.

    • coordination of selected suppliers in the agreed scope
    • a link into property preparation where useful
    • final styling before living in the space or letting it
    • the option to continue with cleaning or further care

Two different contexts

A home is designed differently from an investment property.

A design can support how attractive and practical a space is. It does not guarantee higher rent, occupancy or return.

Your own home

The starting point is the people who will actually live there.

  • personal needs and the rhythm of the day
  • comfort for long-term use
  • an atmosphere that belongs to you
  • individual preferences
  • decisions that should last

An investment property

The design considers who will use the space and how it will be looked after.

  • the intended tenants or guests
  • durability of the chosen solutions
  • easy maintenance
  • a measured investment in furnishings
  • a coherent, attractive presentation

Ways of working

Three clear levels, not fixed packages.

These are not pre-priced programmes. The proposal depends on floor area, the condition of the property, the number of rooms, the deliverables and how much coordination you want.

Consultation and direction

For clients who need a professional view, a clearer brief, or help deciding the next step.

  • clarifying the brief together
  • an assessment of what the space allows
  • recommended priorities
  • a suggested next step

Selected rooms

For one part of an apartment or house, or several — a living space, bedroom, study or entrance, for example.

  • a concept for the chosen area
  • materials and colour
  • furnishings for that space
  • deliverables in the agreed scope

A complete interior concept

For a coherent design of the whole apartment or house, in a scope we agree in advance.

  • one direction for the whole interior
  • layout, materials and furnishings
  • how the rooms relate to each other
  • deliverables or coordination by agreement

How the work unfolds

From the first conversation to a design you can use.

The exact process can change with the scope of the commission. A consultation needs fewer steps; a complete interior concept needs more.

  1. Initial consultation

    You tell us about the property, how it should be used, and where the project stands.

  2. Brief, priorities and budget

    We agree what is necessary, what is desirable, and where the real limits sit.

  3. Direction and concept

    We propose a visual and practical direction that later decisions can follow.

  4. Developing the chosen solution

    We take the selected direction into more specific decisions about space and materials.

  5. Materials and furnishings

    We put together a selection that matches the agreed scope, the look and the way the space will be used.

  6. Handover or follow-on coordination

    We deliver the agreed outputs. Supplier coordination happens only when it is part of the scope.

  7. Optional styling, preparation and ongoing care

    If you want, we can continue with preparing the space, cleaning, or further property care.

Why Well Kept

An aesthetic view joined to how a property actually works.

  • aesthetic and practical questions handled together
  • interior design available as a standalone service
  • the option to continue with preparation or property care
  • one partner for the agreed scope
  • communication in Czech and English
  • Prague and surrounding areas

The fee follows the scope, not a single flat rate.

After an initial conversation we prepare a specific proposal for scope and fee. These are the factors that most often shape it.

  • floor area and type of property
  • the number of rooms involved
  • the current condition of the space
  • the range of deliverables required
  • the number of options and revisions
  • whether a survey or site visits are needed
  • how much furnishing selection is involved
  • any coordination of the fit-out
  • timing and the complexity of the project

Common questions

Before you decide what you need from the design.

Do you design whole apartments as well as individual rooms?

Yes. We can design a whole apartment or house, or focus on selected rooms. The scope is agreed according to what the space and the brief actually need.

Can I book a consultation only?

Yes. Consultation and direction is a standalone way of working. It suits clients who need a professional view, a clearer brief, or help deciding the next step, without a full design.

Is interior design only for luxury properties?

No. We work with different types of apartments and houses. What matters is that the brief, the condition of the property and the expected scope make sense together.

Do you work with a more limited budget?

Yes. The budget is part of the brief, not an afterthought. We propose solutions that can be sourced and maintained within the agreed limits. Not every request will fit a smaller budget — we say so early.

Do you also design investment apartments?

Yes. For an investment property we consider the intended occupants, durability, upkeep and a measured spend on furnishings. A design can support how attractive and practical the space is; it does not guarantee yield or occupancy.

Do you arrange the purchase of furniture and furnishings?

Buying every piece is not an automatic part of the design. We can recommend specific items and, in an agreed scope, coordinate procurement. Purchase, delivery and assembly are handled separately.

Do you coordinate tradespeople and suppliers?

If it is part of the agreed scope, we can coordinate selected suppliers. We do not have in-house trades for every discipline, and we do not provide building supervision or arrange permits.

Do you prepare technical drawings?

Full project documentation and authorised construction drawings are not automatic. By agreement we can prepare working material or a brief for the next stage. The exact outputs are confirmed in the proposal.

How long does an interior design project take?

It depends on floor area, the number of rooms, the condition of the space, the deliverables and how many rounds of revision are needed. We confirm a timetable in the proposal. We do not promise a fixed deadline in advance.

How much does interior design cost?

The fee depends on floor area, the type of property, the number of rooms, the deliverables, the number of options and any coordination. After an initial conversation we prepare a specific proposal. We do not publish a starting price.

Do I also have to use management or cleaning?

No. Interior design can be booked on its own. Cleaning, property preparation or management can follow only if you want them.

Do you work with an already furnished interior?

Yes. We can start from what is already there and propose what is worth keeping, adjusting or replacing. If you need a lighter refresh rather than a full concept, we assess that scope individually.

Do you also provide the service in English?

Yes. We work in Czech and English, including with overseas owners of property in Prague.

Do you work outside Prague as well?

We work in Prague and surrounding areas. Projects further afield are assessed individually, and we say in advance whether the collaboration is practical.
