Veere Grenney

Spear’s Review

Originally from New Zealand, Veere Grenney arrived in the UK in 1970 and made his way to the top of British interior design by way of selling antiques in Portobello Road, running a shop in Westbourne Grove, working for Colefax & Fowler and finally setting up his own eponymous agency.

A fixture of most important designer lists, Grenney’s interiors retain a sense of style without losing their liveable essence. ‘Beauty should collide with comfort,’ he said. 

Grenney’s practice is truly international; his work can be found in the UK, including at Claridge’s and his Classical house – The Temple – in the Suffolk countryside; in Europe; in the US; and in his own treasured home in Morocco.
