The Boldest Choice in Interiors? Creating Spaces That Don't Conform — Designer Tolù Adẹ̀kọ́ on Rejecting Trends to "Design a Home That Tells Your Story"

A golden-lit living room with oversized couches, paintings hanging on the walls, a marble fireplace, and a bass-relief wall.

In a world filled with cookie-cutter interiors, there is an element of comfort and joy in embracing spaces that skew from the norm, or so thinks Nigerian-born, London-based British interior designer Tolù Adẹ̀kọ́.

As the founding designer of multidisciplinary practice Adẹ̀kọ́ & Co., he is equally acquainted with imagining exclusive hospitality and gastronomy destinations that stand out for their moody atmosphere and artisanal flair, as he is used to dreaming up homes that reflect the breadth of experiences, passions, and stories that make up his clients' universe.
