Naomi Astley Clarke

Spear’s Review

‘The word “bling” is about as far removed from my design vocabulary as possible. It’s all about refined yet liveable, relaxed beauty,’ says Naomi Astley Clarke. 

From designing penthouses in Chelsea to the interiors of a private jet, Clarke has become one of the UK's most sought-after interior designers, known for her comfortable elegance and ‘modern English’ design DNA, as described by a client.

Clarke began hitting the headlines in 2023 when it was revealed that she’d designed a Sloane Square apartment for a famous singer, which included bespoke shoe closets and custom trophy cases; now, she possesses a client book that includes music moguls and celebrity A-listers. 

On her approach to making spaces that are appreciated by her clients, she tells Spear’s: ‘I get to know clients inside and out. I know everything about how they want to live, and I do a very thorough appraisal of how they’re going to live in a space.’
