Founded by Lana Challis, LC Interiors is a Dubai-based design studio specialising in luxury residential interiors and interior architecture. With over a decade of experience across the UAE, we bring a considered, detail-driven approach to every project – from initial concept through to final styling.

Lana holds a Master’s degree in Architectural Design and has built her practice on a foundation of technical rigour and creative intuition. Her background in architecture informs every decision – spatial planning, material selection, lighting design, and bespoke joinery are treated not as separate disciplines but as a unified language of design. At LC Interiors, we believe that truly exceptional spaces emerge from restraint rather than excess. Our work is guided by a commitment to authenticity – honest materials, thoughtful proportions, and a deep respect for how people actually live. Every villa, apartment, and residence we design reflects the unique character of its owners, shaped by close collaboration and an unwavering attention to craft. Our services span the full spectrum of interior design and project delivery: from interior architecture and spatial reconfiguration, to furniture specification, custom millwork, and complete project management. Whether working with private homeowners or leading developers, we bring the same level of care and precision to every brief.

Founder & Principal Designer

Every project at LC Interiors begins and ends with Lana. As both the creative lead and project director, she maintains a hands-on approach that ensures design integrity from first sketch to final installation. This is a studio built on personal relationships and quiet confidence in the work.
