Interior Design for Farms, Vineyards, Landed Estates & Equestrian Venues

At At Aucott Interior Design, we help rural businesses unlock the full potential of their land and buildings through thoughtful, commercially driven interior design. From redundant farm buildings to heritage estate properties, we work with owners of farms, vineyards, country estates and equestrian venues to create profitable, sustainable destinations.

We understand that as stewards of rural land, you’re looking to generate new income streams while preserving the character of your estate. Whether you’re developing luxury guest accommodation, a cellar door, event space, co-working hub or rural retail outlet, we help you transform your property into a thriving hospitality venture.

Design for Rural Diversification

Rural diversification is about making the most of what you already have. With the right design approach, your existing buildings can be repurposed into:

  • Luxury Holiday Cottages & Boutique Estate Stays

  • Farm Shops, Tasting Rooms & Cellar Doors

  • Countryside Wedding & Event Venues

  • Equine-Based Retreats & Equestrian Centres

  • Co-working & Rural Office Spaces

  • Destination Cafés, Restaurants & Farm-to-Table Dining

We create schemes that balance heritage with innovation, blending robust, contract-quality finishes with refined, welcoming interiors that reflect the character of your land and brand.

Our Interior Design Services Include:

  • Concept Design & Feasibility

  • Spatial Planning & Layout Design

  • Interior Design & Mood Boards

  • Contract-Quality FF&E Sourcing

  • Procurement & Project Management

  • Installation, Styling & Handover

We work in close partnership with estate owners, land agents, architects, and rural development consultants to deliver high-quality, high-return projects.
