Best interior designers for a home on Lake Como
Four practices, with different references for a villa, a second home or a property with several buildings.
A home by the lake may feel intimate for a quiet weekend and generous when friends or family stay. Its rooms need to belong to both experiences: a place for morning coffee, a table for a long dinner and somewhere to withdraw when the house is full.
The four practices below offer different starting points for that brief. AD’ Design Studio publishes this editorial selection and is included. Studio bases, stated areas of work and project locations are identified separately.
A quiet weekend and a house full of guests
The designer considers how a home changes with the number of people staying. A small dining setting may need to feel welcoming within a larger room. Guest bedrooms may need a degree of independence from the owners’ private rooms. A terrace can become part of daily life if it is easy to reach from the shared spaces.
Furnished plans help develop those relationships. In a lake-facing sitting room, seating arranged around the view offers a different experience from chairs grouped for conversation. The designer can compose both while keeping the terrace route clear.
You can then judge the choices through the way you would use them: a comfortable reading seat when the home is quiet, shared breakfast with visiting family, or conversation after dinner. The design develops around those moments and the particular property.
Your own villa by the lake
Tell AD’ Design Studio about the property and the interior you want to create. We can discuss the design work it needs, with plans or photographs if available.

AD’ Design Studio: complete interiors for a private home
AD’ Design Studio is an Italian interior architecture and design studio available for commissions on Lake Como.
The private residence in Phnom Penh, Cambodia connects interior architecture, materials and bespoke furniture within a complete home. The dining room opens towards the main salon; drawings develop its bar wall through stone, metal and light.
KOI Villa in Phuket, Thailand offers another residential reference, with dining, lounge and bedroom settings related to the outdoor spaces. AD’ Design Studio’s contribution there was owner-side interior design direction alongside the appointed design team.
Interior Architecture & Design develops the complete interior in collaboration with your architect and specialists. The two international references illustrate different contributions; they are not presented as Lake Como commissions.
Bertolini Studio: architecture and interior design from Colico
Bertolini Studio is based in Colico, on Lake Como. It describes residential architecture, interior design, new construction and renovation services.
Its accessible Projects gallery includes Artistic Parfumery in Morbegno, where flowing curtains form backdrops for the fragrance display and lighting develops the atmosphere. This is a retail reference, alongside a restaurant and law office in the gallery. A comparable residential example would help an owner explore how the practice develops a villa or second-home brief.
Giorgio Veronelli Architecture: building and landscape
Giorgio Veronelli Architecture is based in Como and describes architecture, interiors and renovation on Lake Como, in Italy and abroad.
Its portfolio includes Villa Bolza Scanavino in Menaggio and Luxury Villa Como Lake. Villa Bolza is a façade-restoration reference: specialist restorer Laura De Nardi contributed investigations of historic finishes that informed colour and surface treatment.
Luxury Villa Como Lake offers a different starting point. Its residential scheme connects living areas with garden, terrace and pool, opening the home towards the lake. The references distinguish the treatment of an existing building’s surfaces from the arrangement of a residence in its landscape.
Hill House Interiors: a villa, guest house and pool house
Hill House Interiors identifies interior architectural design as its contribution to a Lake Como estate.
The published case brings together a four-bedroom main villa, a two-bedroom guest house, a pool house and furnished terraces within the gardens. It is a relevant reference for a property where guests stay in a separate building or where the interior brief extends across several settings.
The design conversation can then consider how each building offers its own way of living while remaining part of the same residential place.

From the property to a design appointment
The first discussion can begin with the house and how you want to spend time there. The designer can then identify what needs further study, from room connections and furnishings to the practical arrangements of working at the property.
Survey access and delivery routes deserve attention as the work develops, particularly where the approach to the house or the route through the grounds is constrained. Those checks belong with the appointed team; they do not need to become a detailed exercise before your first conversation.
The guide to choosing an interior design studio explains how to compare the proposed appointment. Explore interior design for your Lake Como home for AD’ Design Studio’s work on the complete interior.
