Richard Grafton Interiors

What Richard Grafton Interiors does

Richard Grafton Interiors (legal entity Grafton Gregory Ltd) is a privately held, family-operated luxury interior design studio founded in 2012 by Managing Director Richard Grafton and headquartered in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The company provides full-service interior design for residential and commercial clients, covering spatial planning, concept development, technical drawings, project management, and installation. Its core technical capability is an in-house Yorkshire artisan workshop producing handmade kitchens, bathrooms, cabinetry, and bespoke furniture using both traditional woodworking and innovative techniques. The firm also curates and retails third-party furniture, lighting, artwork, and accessories through three owned showrooms located in Harrogate (Montpellier Quarter flagship, opened March 2012 and refurbished in 2024 with a £250,000 investment), Wetherby (opened 2020), and Ilkley (opened November 2024). The team totals 28 employees and is described as having over 100 years of combined experience in interior architecture and design, with Richard Grafton as Managing Director, Charlotte Grafton as Operations Director, and Milly Grafton as Retail Director.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based revenue model combining professional services fees (initial design fee plus project-specific pricing) with hardware sales of bespoke and curated furniture. Customer acquisition relies on showroom visits, designer referrals, editorial coverage in publications such as Yorkshire Living Magazine and Absolutely Magazine, social media, the company blog (The Journal), showroom events including Art Days, and word-of-mouth referrals. The primary customer segment is high-net-worth residential property owners across Yorkshire and internationally (with documented international projects including a Caribbean holiday home refurbishment), with a smaller commercial segment serving retail, salon, and hospitality clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all projects are custom-quoted based on scope, and the firm uses Stripe and PayPal for payments. The company holds SBID Accredited Practice status and was shortlisted in the Family Business category at the 2025 Yorkshire TheBusinessDesk.com Awards.
