RAW Interiors was founded by Rachel Aisling Walker, an interior architect and designer, with extensive experience running high-end residential, commercial and exhibition projects. She established her own studio after working in-house for Casson Mann, Rolfe Judd Architects, Harriet Anstruther Studio, and, most recently, as a senior interior designer at Rose Uniacke, where she spent six years.

Her aesthetic sensibility is deeply rooted in her upbringing in the lakeside town of Angera, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. Countless childhood visits to the historic palaces in the surrounding area were an early source of inspiration: from richly furnished rooms to Renaissance gardens.

Rachel’s approach to interiors fuses architectural, design, and historical elements, resulting in elegant interiors that are serene, timeless, and inviting. Her work is a testament to her skill in mixing antique, modern, and contemporary furniture with her own designs, always with an eye for the unexpected.

Rachel’s expertise extends to all aspects of a project, from design to construction. Her calm, measured and meticulous approach resonates with both clients and contractors.
