Wow!House has quickly become one of the most anticipated events in the design calendar, resulting in exciting and often surprising collaborations between top interior designers and decorating brands. Held at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, it’s a celebration of collaboration. In 2013, there were 18 uplifting spaces to explore – see below for a behind-the scenes peek at the making of some of our favourites.
In 2024, from 4 June to 4 July, the showhouse will be bigger and better than ever before, with 19 extraordinary full-size rooms and outdoor spaces created by 20+ world-class interior designers, working in collaboration with globally renowned design brands.
Make sure you are among the first to see it by booking your ticket before 15 March to take advantage of early-bird prices. Choose between a ticket for a specific day, or select an open week ticket, which gives you the flexibility for multiple visits during your chosen week. Tickets start from £10.

Tala Fustok
Asked to create a home bar for Wow!House, this rising star of the interiors world decided to stretch her imagination. It went galactic. Described as ‘a hedonistic moonscape with art deco design details,’ her watering hole will be dotted with sculptures from Vessel Gallery, as well as vintage silverware. ‘We want to transport visitors to another realm,’ says Fustok. ‘The space will ooze glamour and champion escapism at its finest’ talafustok.studio
Studio Winch
Selina McCabe (pictured), senior partner at Studio Winch, has worked with outdoor-furniture experts Summit to create the terrace at Wow!House. ‘Where chic meets beach’ was the concept, with inspiration taken from elegant retreats on the Côte d’Azur and Palm Beach, as well as the sun-soaked socialites featured in American photographer Slim Aarons’ work. Whatever the weather, there will always be sunny vibes , plus a chance to try out the sculptural ‘Arc’ collection, designed by Summit in collaboration with Studio Winch. winchdesign.com
Clare Gaskin
After a drink at the home bar and lively chats on the terrace, it may be time for some quiet reflection. Clare Gaskin’s study will be, she says, ‘an inspiring sanctuary’. Intended to reflect the experience of a true traveller, one who seeks out craftspeople and learns about cultural heritages, it will, she adds, ‘celebrate creativity and harness a connection to the outside world’. Gaskin will also see that the pieces on display will be used again, to ensure as little waste as possible. claregaskin.com
