Anita Lalwani
Interiors ARCHITECT
“I have a Knack for Maximising the Potential of every room, ensuring that each inch is used efficiently.
I take great care in making sure that everything has it’s place. This avoids clutter & confusion, creating a functional & harmonious environment.”
With more than 10 years experience, Anita’s projects range from private homes to restaurant and office design. A qualified architect and designer, Anita's design super-power is her spatial planning.
“Every project brings unique opportunities & challenges. A simple extension for a family in Twickenham required a very precise roof design for example. We needed to maximise the light in the extension without blocking any from the neighbouring property. Utilising a 3D model we ensured the 25deg rule was met and planning was granted without amendment.”
Located in North London, Anita admits to having a slight obsession about great lighting. “Floor lamps and night lights are essential in my home. I love how they create a warm, intimate atmosphere in the evenings, helping to set the mood and unwind. Thoughtful ambient lighting and a well-planned lighting layout are key to transforming a space, allowing for different moods and functionalities throughout the day.”
What clients say about ANITA
ISLINGTON, DESIGN & Renovation
“I was half way through a renovation and realised I needed to bring in some design assistance. Anita from Decorbuddi assisted straight away with some initial urgent tasks. The turnaround time was really impressive as we were in a time crunch situation. She then went over and above with the design tasks – there are so many things I never would have thought about unless she’d mentioned. She continued to assist with project management, making my life a lot easier. Can’t recommend Anita / Decorbuddi enough!”
FINSBURY, Bathroom DEsign
“We had a great experience working with Anita on our bathroom redesigns. I'd very much recommend her services!”
Maida Vale, Interior Design
“Anita was extremely helpful and patient answering my thousand questions and iterations. Professional, prompt communication and a genuine desire to make things right. Happy with the outcome and would recommend.”

With a background in both architecture and interior design, she brings over a decade of experience, combining precise design thinking, rigorous drawings and a deep understanding of how three‑dimensional space works. Her work is defined by clarity, accuracy and an ability to unlock the full potential of a property, whether reconfiguring an existing structure or designing from the ground up.
Background & Career Journey

Areas Anita Covers
Anita works primarily across North and West London and the Home Counties, supporting homeowners with renovation, extension and new‑build projects. She is familiar with the architectural character of these areas - from Victorian and Edwardian houses to mid‑century properties and contemporary developments - and knows how to work sensitively within existing fabric while introducing modern, highly functional design solutions. She also continues to collaborate on international projects, bringing a broad architectural perspective to every brief.
Design Style & Approach
Anita’s design philosophy centres on the belief that every space has a story, and that thoughtful design is the language that brings that story to life. She approaches each project with a strong focus on space planning, proportion and flow so that aesthetics and function work seamlessly together. Her work balances architectural discipline with a refined eye for detail, resulting in interiors that feel considered, calm and enduring.
Precision is central to her process. Anita uses detailed drawings and three‑dimensional tools to explore how a space will be experienced before it is built, resolving potential challenges early and fully realising opportunities. Lighting plays a fundamental role in her schemes, shaping mood, defining form and enhancing the architectural qualities of each space. She is equally comfortable designing bespoke joinery, furniture and architectural details, ensuring that every interior feels cohesive and purpose‑built for its occupants.
Selected Projects
Anita has delivered a wide range of renovation and refurbishment projects that showcase her architectural approach to interior design. Her residential work includes a family home where she designed a side and rear extension with careful consideration of roof geometry and daylight, producing a complete set of planning drawings that were approved without amendment. Most recently, she has reconfigured a characterful loft in North London to create a new master bedroom, dressing area and ensuite, transforming the space into a light‑filled retreat.
Internationally, she has designed bespoke interiors for new‑build apartments, creating custom furniture, joinery and layered lighting schemes that enhance spatial quality and elevate everyday living. Across all her work, Anita’s blend of architectural precision and creative problem‑solving results in spaces that are both visually striking and highly practical.
