The third annual Wow!house is a showcase for the imagination to run wild.

Interior designers have been given free rein to decorate one of the 19 rooms – and the results are dramatic, wild and always inspiring. Come in for a tour...

If you’ve ever wondered what an interior designer would do if they didn’t have to keep clients happy and stick to budgets, then you need to take a trip to Chelsea Harbour. The third annual Wow!house is a set of 19 spaces, each created by a different designer whose only brief is to use materials provided by the sponsor. The full-size rooms - all with ceilings (unusual for sets) – are spread over 500 sq m and are not only a real-life showcase of their work, but a huge source of inspiration.

Most of us won’t get to go inside the actual homes these designers create – past exhibitors have included Nicky Haslam and Tim Gosling, while this year it’s Ken Fulk, Veere Grenny and Alidad – so a trip to Wow!house is a great way to have a look at what they do and see their processes and ideas in action.
