Do I need interior design services as an expat?

Many expats arrive in an unfurnished or generically furnished property and want it to feel personal. Expat GH's design service covers everything from paint colours and soft furnishings to custom joinery and art sourcing — using local Ghanaian craftspeople where possible.

Can you source Ghanaian art and crafts for my home?

Yes. We work with local artisans, the Art Centre, and individual Ghanaian artists to source authentic pieces — kente, pottery, woodwork, and contemporary Ghanaian art — for clients who want their home to reflect where they are.

Interior Design for Expat Homes in Accra — Personalised Styling That Feels Like Home.

A property becomes a home.

Moving into a new space in a new country, it can be hard to know where to start. Our interior design service takes the guesswork out entirely — we listen to how you live, what you love, and what you need, then we design and style a home that genuinely reflects you.

"At Expat GH, we approach interior design as an art and a science — in order to transform what was once just a property into a home. We realise the importance of not merely placing furniture in a space for their use alone, but achieving functionality. A finished product which is not only aesthetically pleasing but tailored to suit your needs and preferences."

Our approach

Interior design at Expat GH is both art and science. On the art side, we work with colour, texture, light and proportion to create spaces that feel effortlessly right. On the science side, we apply design principles to induce certain feelings in each room — energising in a home office, calming in a bedroom, welcoming in a living space — always complementing the architecture of the property itself.

Design styles we work in

Contemporary African

Clean lines with warm Ghanaian textiles, kente accents, and natural materials.

Modern minimalist

Neutral palette, considered pieces, and generous space — calm and uncluttered.

Classic & traditional

Timeless furniture, rich fabrics, and layered textures for a formal feel.

Eclectic & personal

Your style, your story — we work from your brief and bring it to life.

Combined with furniture rental

Our interior design service works hand-in-hand with our furniture rental offering. Rather than purchasing furniture outright, many clients opt for a designed and styled rental package — beautiful, cohesive, and fully flexible for the length of their stay. When the assignment ends, we collect everything and you leave with nothing left behind.

We provide the option of furnishing an originally unfurnished apartment or house rented through us — all coordinated under one service, one invoice, one point of contact.

How it works

Design consultation

We visit the property (or review floor plans virtually) and discuss your style, lifestyle, budget and timeline.

Mood board & proposal

We present a full design concept — layout, colour palette, furniture selection and accessories — for your feedback.

Procurement & coordination

We source and confirm all pieces, coordinate delivery slots, painters, curtain fitters and any minor works.

Styling day

Our team installs, arranges and styles everything. You walk in to a finished, move-in-ready home.
