Interior Designer in Altrincham
Design work across Altrincham, with the showroom ten minutes away in Bowdon for choosing fabrics and finishes in person.
Lana Filippova Interiors is a design studio and walk-in showroom in Bowdon, working across Cheshire and the villages around it. Projects run from a single pair of curtains to a whole house, and every one of them starts the same way: in the showroom, with real fabric, real wallpaper and real furniture in front of you.
The studio is led by Svetlana Filippova, who is a practising artist as well as a designer. Glass, metal and mixed-media pieces made in her own workshop are designed into the schemes rather than bought in at the end, which is not something another Cheshire studio can offer.
Areas we cover
Altrincham, Bowdon, Hale, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Sale and Prestbury, plus the surrounding Cheshire villages. The showroom is on Vicarage Lane in Bowdon and is open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm. An appointment helps, but it is a retail showroom and you are welcome to walk in.

How the studio works
Design, sourcing and installation are handled from one place. Furniture and accessories are chosen at Maison et Objet rather than from UK high-street ranges, so schemes do not look like everybody else’s. Fitted joinery (kitchens, wardrobes, media walls) is designed here and built and installed by long-standing partner workshops.
A design fee of £300 covers one room and includes every part of the design service. It is refunded as you order: 10% comes off any order until the whole £300 has come back, so a room you spend £3,000 on is designed free of charge.
How working with a Cheshire studio actually differs
The showroom is the practical difference. Samples do not have to be posted, a decision does not have to wait for a delivery, and if something is not working it can be swapped the same week. For anyone within half an hour of Bowdon that shortens a scheme considerably.
It also means you can call in without an appointment. A lot of the work here starts as somebody dropping in with a photograph on their phone, which is a far better beginning than a formal consultation.
Projects large and small
There is no minimum. A pair of curtains, a rug and some accessories is a perfectly reasonable place to start, and a good number of whole-house projects began exactly that way. At the other end, projects covering every room in a property are phased over months, with the rooms in daily use finished first.
Fitted joinery for any of it is designed here and made and installed by long-standing partner workshops, so kitchens, wardrobes and media walls are specified as part of the same scheme as the fabrics and the lighting rather than bought separately.
