The accolades were awarded at the prestigious awards ceremony, which took place on 5th October 2022, at the stunning Drapers’ Hall, London. The magnificent interiors created a spectacular backdrop to celebrate and reward the very first BIID Interior Design awards.
In front of an enthusiastic in-person audience of almost 200 industry professionals, the event proved to be an enjoyable and exciting day for all, especially for the winning interior designers who had gathered from all over the UK.
“Drapers’ Hall was a wonderful setting to acknowledge and reward the excellence of our winners,” said Mathew Freeman, BIID President. “These first BIID Interior Design awards have been a long time in the planning and it was wonderful to have everybody together to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our award winners.”
The prestigious event kicked off in style with a lively drinks reception, before attendees took their seats in the Livery Hall. Guests were welcomed to their tables by event host, TV Presenter and design historian Amber Butchart and guests enjoyed a delicious three-course lunch, during which they were treated to a short presentation by Jonathan Deeming from architecture firm Purcell, on the restoration of the historic Drapers’ Hall. BIID President Mathew Freeman then presented the Awards with the help of guest presenters including Philip Jones from Headline Sponsor Havwoods and Edward Thomas, from Sustainability Sponsor Paragon Studio.
