Interior Finishes & Materials in London — Trade Showroom
Faura is a trade-only showroom for interior finishes and materials in London — stone and porcelain slabs, marble, flooring materials, paints, architectural hardware, lighting and bathrooms — held alongside furniture at the Faura Interior Design Residency in Westminster. On top of supply, the team introduces members to vetted contractors for tiling, decorating, electrical and smart-home work.
Stone, porcelain and marble surfaces
Faura holds natural marble and stone from Margraf, large-format porcelain slabs from Florim, engineered surfaces from Cosentino and alabaster pieces from Alabastro Italiano. Slab boards and finish references are available so designers can compare porcelain, engineered and natural stone side by side against a live scheme.
Specify stone, tile and surfaces through Faura from Margraf, Cosentino, Florim, ABK, CroStone and Diespeker. Review the material palette with your project drawings; technical details, finishes and lead times are confirmed for the selected references.

Flooring materials
Flooring materials are specified alongside surfaces — natural stone floors from Margraf, large-format porcelain floor fields from Florim, and engineered surface floors from Cosentino. Cuttings and finish references can be reviewed in daylight at the showroom and taken away for client presentation.
Paints
Paints are supplied through Little Greene. Colour cards, hand-painted samples and drawdowns are available so a paint palette can be specified against the fabric, stone and hardware selections in the same appointment.
Architectural hardware
Architectural hardware is supplied through Joseph Giles — door furniture, handles, pulls and related architectural ironmongery — so a scheme's hardware programme can be coordinated with joinery from Laura Meroni and Longhi.
Lighting
Lighting sits alongside finishes in the same appointment. Architectural lighting is represented by Delta Light and iGuzzini, and decorative pieces by Foscarini.
Bathrooms
Bathrooms are covered by Antonio Lupi — vanities, brassware and bathroom furniture — and Gessi for bathroom and kitchen brassware. Both sit next to the stone and surfaces roster so a whole bathroom scheme can be resolved in one working session.
Vetted contractor introductions
Supplying finishes is only half the picture. On request, Faura introduces members to vetted contractors in the disciplines that typically finish a scheme:
- Tiling — for stone and porcelain installation.
- Decorating and painting — for wall and joinery finishing.
- Electrical — for lighting circuits and power layouts.
- Smart-home installation — for integrated controls and audio-visual.
The team connects members with proven specialists it has worked with. The designer or main contractor runs the direct relationship with each specialist.
How to review finishes in person
Share the plan and a room-by-room brief in advance so slab boards, cuttings and hardware references can be pre-staged. Then book a private appointment at the Residency, or if you are new to Faura, apply for trade access first.
