The newly renovated department on the third floor is now known simply as Harrods Interiors. It was thoughtfully designed by Virgile + Partners with the aim to deliver a smoother customer journey while giving products a stronger visual presence. Customers can expect to find an immersive wonderland of homeware brands and services, featuring exclusive products by leading designers, personalisation services, and site visits to aid specialist deliveries.
The transformation also includes the store’s own in-house studio, Harrods Interior Design, headed up by Letitia Fitzgibbon, which offers a range of expert design services, from styling advice to complete refurbishment options.
In keeping with Harrods’ reputation for unrivalled brand portfolios, it will continue to offer home accessories lines from design powerhouses such as Dior, Hermès, Fornasetti, L’Objet, Lalique, Versace Home and Richard Ginori, alongside much-loved brands such as Wedgwood and Waterford. Meanwhile, a dedicated home-fragrance room will offer exclusives from household brands such as Roja, L’Artisan and Dr Vranjes.
In Kitchen & Household, there are cooking and domestic products centred around a fully functional kitchen designed by Linley. This lively and interactive space will showcase demonstrations of a selection of product ranges, as well as cooking demonstrations by the store’s own skilled chefs.
In Luxury Linens, customers will find the Bespoke Linens Studio, where they can custom-design and monogram their own linens, featuring brands such as Frette, Celso de Lemos and Yves Delorme Couture. Those in search of contemporary furniture will find BoConcept, Cattelan Italia, Porada and Gallotti & Radice, while bed brands include Savoir, Hästens, Vispring, Colunex and Jensen.
