Services · Mobile app development · Interior design apps
Codeeo offers interior design app development London studios can run a whole scheme from: client briefs, measured rooms, moodboards, sample approvals, orders, deliveries into tight buildings and snagging, all in one app with an admin dashboard behind it. London work is rarely simple. A Kensington mansion flat needs the freeholder's licence before a wall moves, a Shoreditch loft has one goods lift and a concierge who wants notice, and the owner may be signing off from another country. The app keeps every one of those threads visible.
We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, with a team of 80+ in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. We have no office in London; we work remotely with studios here, and discovery, design reviews and sprint demos all run by video call.

What the app can include
A London interior project has more gatekeepers than most. There is the client, often a second decision maker abroad, a managing agent or freeholder, a building manager who controls the lift and loading bay, a borough that may need to suspend a parking bay, and suppliers spread between Chelsea Harbour showrooms, Clerkenwell studios and warehouses outside the M25. The features below are the ones that cut the email traffic between those people. We choose and order them with you, because a studio doing two large prime central schemes a year needs a different first release from a firm turning round dozens of rental flats every quarter. Anyone comparing interior design app developers London agencies recommend should ask how they would handle this mix; here is our answer.
Many London homes are second homes, and the person approving the sofa fabric may be in Geneva or Singapore. Schemes, samples photographed in daylight and costed options sit in a clear approval screen with comments, so decisions are made in the app instead of a long email thread with attachments nobody can find.
Approvals happen faster and leave a record of who agreed what.
Leasehold flats usually need written consent from the freeholder or managing agent before structural or wet room work, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the borough. Each project carries a checklist of the consents it needs, who has been asked, the documents sent and the date the reply came back.
No trade starts on site before the paperwork allows it.
Mansion blocks and serviced towers ration lift time and loading bays. The app books delivery windows against the building's rules, stores concierge contacts and access notes per address, and flags when a parking suspension request to the borough needs to go in.
Fewer drivers turned away at the door with a wardrobe on the van.
Designers collect swatches, finishes and lighting specifications from showrooms all over the city. Staff scan or photograph each sample, tag it to a scheme and record where it came from and when it must go back, so the physical library and the digital one stay in step.
Every sample on the table can be traced to a supplier and a project.
On phones with depth sensing, a designer can scan a room into a rough floor plan with door and window positions, then add laser measured figures where precision matters. Period features such as cornicing, bay windows and chimney breasts are tagged so they shape the layout instead of surprising the joiner.
Layouts start from the real room, not a stale estate agent plan.
Moodboards, elevations and product schedules are presented room by room, with options the client can compare side by side. Notes stay pinned to the item they refer to, and the studio controls which version the client sees.
Clients review a clean presentation, not a folder of loose files.
Purchase orders, supplier acknowledgements, lead times and delivery addresses are held against each item. When a European supplier pushes a date back, the change shows on the project timeline and the affected trades see it.
The studio knows what has arrived and what is still at sea.
Site teams log progress photos and snags against a room plan, assign each one to a trade and close it with a photo when fixed. The client sees a filtered view, not the raw site chatter.
Handover comes with a clean, evidenced snag list.
Joiners, upholsterers, decorators and curtain makers get a limited login where they see only their own items, drawings and delivery details. They confirm dates, upload progress photos from their workshop and raise questions against the item, so the designer stops relaying messages between the client and a dozen small firms across the city.
Trades work from the current drawing, not last month's PDF.
Design fees, procurement deposits and final balances are raised at the stages in your terms. Clients can pay by card, Apple Pay or an Open Banking payment through a provider you choose, and see what is settled.
Invoices go out at the right moment and are easy to pay.
Who this is for
The studios we build for are not all chasing the same thing. Some want a polished client experience for a small number of high value homes. Others care about throughput across many units. The right app depends on which of these describes you, and many firms sit across two of them. These four situations come up most often, and each one changes what goes into the first release and what can wait. We ask about this early in discovery, because getting it wrong means building a beautiful client app for a business whose real bottleneck is on site.
Your clients expect discretion, polish and fast answers, and some of them live abroad for most of the year. The first release usually centres on private scheme presentations, remote approvals, a confidential document area for floor plans and consents, and messaging that keeps the conversation with the studio rather than a designer's personal phone. Access controls matter here, because household staff, family offices and agents may all need different views.
Privacy settings are designed per client, not as an afterthought.
When your studio also runs the trades, the app has to cover the site as well as the scheme. That means programme views, trade allocation, access and delivery slots for each building, snagging and variations that the client approves in writing. We plan the site app for gloved hands and poor signal in basements, so it works offline and syncs when the phone reconnects.
Show apartments across several London schemes need furniture packs that go in fast and come out cleanly. The app holds inventory by item and location, schedules installs and collections around marketing launches, and records condition photos so damage disputes are settled quickly.
Inventory can follow the same sofa across three developments.
Landlords furnishing flats for rent want speed and repeatable packs by unit size. Owners letting short term also need to know the 90 night yearly limit in Greater London without planning permission, so the app can store each property's letting model and flag where furnishing plans assume nights the owner cannot legally offer.
How we work together
Most London studios begin with a fixed scope first release, so cost and dates are tied to an agreed feature list. After launch, a retainer covers improvements, operating system updates and new features as the business changes. Larger fit out firms and developers sometimes prefer a dedicated team that works through a longer roadmap with them. What drives cost is the number of user roles, how many systems we connect, how much offline site use is needed and how polished the client presentation layer has to be. Timing is agreed the same way: once the scope is written, we set dates against it and report progress at every demo.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We usually build with React Native or Flutter for the apps and a web dashboard for the studio, chosen around your existing accounting, storage and calendar tools, and around who will maintain the product once it is live.

We start from your real projects and the people who slow them down.
In discovery we map how a scheme moves from enquiry to handover, including freeholders, building managers, borough requests and overseas owners. Each step becomes a candidate feature, and we agree together which ones belong in the first release. The written scope then lists user roles, screens, integrations and dates. It is the document we build against, so you always know what you are getting and when.
