Interior design in Lavington, Nairobi

Interior design for Lavington homes

Lavington keeps a leafy, residential character that sets it apart from Kileleshwa and Kilimani next door, where high-rise flats have replaced the old housing. Here the stock is still mostly detached bungalows and gated townhouses, many of them built two or three decades ago and now due for a rethink. That shapes what we design most in Lavington: bungalow-to-modern remodels that open up compartmented 1990s layouts, townhouse interiors that make three-storey floor plans flow, and the kitchens and wardrobes that carry a family home. A typical Lavington brief is a full-house renovation, knocking a closed kitchen and dining room into one bright space, refitting bathrooms, and updating finishes throughout without moving. We plan the layout, redesign the kitchen and storage, specify ceilings, lighting and joinery, and manage the trades so the house is livable again on a fixed timeline. A full bungalow remodel usually covers 150 to 300 square metres of floor area, which is where the per-square-metre design fee and the room-by-room budget come together. The Kirichwa tributary runs through the area and the plots sit well spaced, so most projects are single-family homes rather than shared-wall units. Lavington began as the St Austin's Mission, and that long-settled history is why so many of its plots carry mature homes now ready for a modern interior.

Our interior design services in Lavington

We give Lavington clients the full service under one roof, so design, sourcing and installation stay with one team instead of three separate contractors. The services most requested in this suburb are residential and family-home design, fitted kitchens and cabinets, fitted wardrobes and joinery and gypsum ceiling designs. Every project starts with a measured survey and a concept drawing, and you see transparent KES pricing before any demolition or fitting begins.

How we work with Lavington clients

• Free consultation. We visit the house in Lavington, measure each room and talk through how your family uses the space and what the renovation needs to solve.
• Concept in 7 days. You get a first concept and a clear KES budget within a week, so a phased remodel can be planned around school terms and travel.
• Sourcing and approvals. We source materials, cabinetry and furniture, and for gated townhouse courts we clear the work with the management committee before deliveries start.
• Fit and handover. One team handles demolition, joinery, ceilings and styling, then hands over a finished home.

Serving Lavington and nearby areas

Our Lavington projects sit inside a tight cluster of suburbs we cover from the same studio. We regularly design in Kileleshwa and Kilimani directly east, and in Westlands a few minutes north, along with Spring Valley and Loresho nearby. Lavington borders the Lavington Green Shopping Centre and Lavington Mall on James Gichuru Road, and it is close to many of the international schools that families here choose, so we plan site visits and deliveries around the local school run and traffic.

Interior design cost in Lavington

Interior design in Lavington follows the same transparent structure we use across Nairobi: design fees typically run KES 3,000 to 7,000 per square metre for a professional renovation, and full furnished projects range from KES 30,000 for a single-room refresh to several million for a complete bungalow or townhouse remodel. A full-house renovation, the most common Lavington brief, sits in the upper part of that range once kitchens, wardrobes and ceilings are included. Because every house and brief differs, we give a fixed KES quote after the consultation rather than a guessed figure. See the full interior design cost guide for detailed ranges.
