About

A husband and wife design practice

Lillie and Christopher Edgar started Edgar Design in 2014. Offering interior design, garden design, project management and sourcing, we help you make the most of any space, whether inside or out. Chris took his design diploma at Inchbald and both have studied at KLC, two of the most respected design schools in the world. The couple moved to Italy in 2022 and are now based near Como, taking on projects in Milan, Como and across the lake, as well as London and the surrounding counties. Lillie and Chris are also co-founders of Told London.

Christopher Edgar

After ten years working in the City of London, Chris followed his passion into renovating properties and designing gardens. He studied garden design at the Inchbald School of Design, followed by horticulture at Great Dixter. He is equally at home considering the layout of a house or designing a garden, believing both should reflect the people who use them and the place they sit.

Lillie loves interiors, design and beautiful things. After designing several family homes, she studied interior design at the KLC School of Design. Her style is luxurious, classic and timeless with a nod to the past, combining beauty and function and finding the right piece for the right place.

What we do

Garden design

From the first consultation to finished planting, we design gardens that suit both the people who use them and the place they sit.

Interior design

We help you achieve what you want from your interior space, from first concept through to installation, working happily alongside your architect.

Praise

Featured in Homes & Gardens, Period Living and Wealden Times

“Chris has created one of the most impressive gardens you are likely to see, the sort of wow factor more often seen in the show gardens of Chelsea. What he has achieved is nothing short of a miracle.”

Wealden Times

“The elegant floral motifs are as prolific inside as in its stunning gardens. A sensitive update of a former Victorian rectory and its formal grounds.”

Homes & Gardens

“The living room is full of exquisite decorative details. The wallpaper makes a stunning backdrop to the room.”

Period Living

“Lillie has created interiors that are both stylish and glamorous yet easy for a family to live with. Nothing stuffy or fussy; it is simply chic and timeless.”
