Before becoming an interior designer, Rose Uniacke was a furniture restorer and then an antiques dealer—and both professions largely inform her current work. For her mostly U.K.–based clients (Peter Morgan, Jo Malone, and Victoria and David Beckham among them), the AD100 designer creates leanly furnished, spirit-nourishing spaces that typically feature a compelling mix of unfinished floorboards, pale hand-plastered walls, vintage Scandinavian furniture, and a scattering of evocative antiques. Merging both old and new has become one of—if not the—defining characteristic of her style.
Besides recently overhauling her own London home, Uniacke has also designed furniture, lighting, fabric, and even paint, the latter a collaboration with Graphenstone. When not working on design-specific projects, Uniacke keeps busy dealing both antiques and pieces by other designers. Her debut book, Rose Uniacke at Home, was published by Rizzoli in 2021.
