Annette English AIA

Celebrated Los Angeles interior designer Annette English and her firm, Annette English Interior Design, offer a wide range of high end design services, specializing in new construction, remodels, space planning, design development, custom furniture design, detailed technical drawings, art and accessory selection and project management for both private and commercial clients. Annette's quickly become the go-to interior designer for much of Tinsel Town's power players (both in front of and behind the camera). Clients hire Annette not just for her incredible skills, but also because of her respect for client anonymity while providing her sought-after interior design services.

Annette's firm was recently selected by Esquire Magazine to participate in its 4th Annual Signature Space Program. As part of the now annual event, Esquire Magazine chooses a select team of LA and NY's top designers, partners them with unique lifestyle companies (Louis Vuitton, Versace, Hugo Boss, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bally, DKNY and others), then enlists them to transform a remarkable physical space into the epitome of 21st century living. Annette's insightful work resulted in a stunning room that was featured on Access Hollywood, Extra and E! Entertainment Television - as well as in various publications - for its notable warmth, sophistication, fluid lines and lasting comfort.

Annette, an Allied Member of AIA, takes pride in serving all clients' needs - whether they're members of the Fortune 500 or simply individuals looking for solutions to their home decorating dilemmas. For Annette, a truly successful project is based on collaboration. "Clients trust me to help them discover what they want for their space. My team and I work hard to ensure the end results always exceed their highest expectations - no matter who they are or what they do for a living."

Before establishing Annette English Interior Design, Annette's life journey took her from her native Perth Australia to all four corners of the globe. After eight years of world travel, she began studying in San Francisco, while working alongside one of the Bay Area's preeminent interior designers. Annette was soon managing more than a dozen residential and commercial projects - each with multi-million-dollar budgets.

Annette next began working with one of Los Angeles's top interior design firms, then took on projects with another designer - who also happened to be a choreographer. The choreographer's showbiz industry contacts paired with Annette's instinctive design sense proved to be a successful match. They were soon designing spaces for multiple Hollywood VIPs.

Soon after, Annette established Annette English Interior Design, which currently has a staff of five. In 2004, Annette and her firm were featured in Los Angeles Magazine. Annette's signatures were becoming the talk of the town: modern sensibilities paired with sophisticated yet timeless designs.

These days, Annette's client base tends to be just as diverse as the projects she takes on. A recent enterprise involved the complete overhaul of a 6,000-square-foot residence in Los Angeles's Holmby Hills. The results led to Annette's firm's inclusion in the prestigious Franklin Report, which lists the nation's top designers by city.

Annette looks to her firm's future with great excitement. "My ultimate thrill is to reveal the spaces I've invented to my clients for the first time, knowing we've worked together as a team to create an interior that's perfect for them. To see that joy reflected on their faces fuels my creativity."
