Salvesen Graham | Our Story

About Salvesen Graham

Established in London by founders Mary Graham and Nicole Salvesen, who together have over 25 years in the industry, Salvesen Graham offers a comprehensive design service that meets the high expectations of their discerning UK and international clients. Prior to setting up Salvesen Graham, Nicole and Mary trained with some of the world’s top designers working across both residential and commercial projects.

Inspiration, Style & Design

We create schemes that provide warmth and softness, that evoke a sense of retreat from the bustle of family and everyday life. The elegance of Georgian England has always influenced us, particularly in relation to architecture and furniture.

We also take great inspiration from the wonderful Indian textiles of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries. We particularly love the colourful and intricate chintz designs that were made specifically for the English export market. We have used the things that inspire us to create our own fabric and furniture ranges all part of The Salvesen Graham Collection.

Creative Professionals

At Salvesen Graham we pride ourselves on being professional creatives and trusted advisors to our clients. Our experienced design team focuses clearly on the client brief, so there is no prescribed “house style”, however, we specialise in layering textures and colour and the juxtaposition of antiques with contemporary pieces to create individual, timeless interiors with a quintessentially British edge.

Testimonials

I approached Salvesen Graham because I needed some help with turning a large, white, open plan house in to a more comfortable and intimate place to live. They were happy to work with my existing art and antiques, combining them with some bold fabrics, colourful lamps and new pieces of furniture. The end result is a characterful and warm house which reflects my personality and the changing needs of my family. The whole process was thoroughly enjoyable and I can't recommend Salvesen Graham more highly!

Private Residential Client Notting Hill London

Nicole came up with some really great ideas for our home and has a great eye for colours and design. Our house ended up on the front cover of Homes & Gardens (and Salvesen Graham are now helping us with our next project as well) so I think that says it all!

Private Residential Client South West London

Working with Salvesen Graham was a pleasure from start to finish. It could have been quite a challenge with us living abroad and the building project happening in another country but Nicole, Mary and the team made everything work and were always at the end of the phone or email with creative suggestions when needed. They took in to account our various wishes and have created our dream home. The end result is a chalet full of colour that looks beautifully smart yet is cosy and practical for a young family. We would have no hesitation in working with them again and would most certainly recommend Salvesen Graham to anyone looking for a professional and innovative team of Interior Designers.
