everything starts with a vision to create spaces that feel meaningful, intentional and alive.
Claireton is a Barcelona-based interior design studio founded by Leontien Nipshagen, working across interior architecture, design, renovation, and spatial transformation. The studio develops projects from early concept to final realization, with a strong sense of atmosphere, materiality, and identity.
Here we believe interior design is more than aesthetics—it's about creating spaces that tell a story, evoke emotion, and enhance the way you live. Our approach is deeply personal, blending elegance, functionality, and bespoke craftsmanship
to curate interiors that feel effortlessly refined.
With a keen eye for proportion, balance, and exquisite detail, we partner with the finest artisans and suppliers to ensure every space is a seamless blend of luxury and comfort.
Our work spans concept development, interior design, styling, renovation, and full project guidance—each phase thoughtfully considered to transform your vision into reality. We work primarily on private residences and design-led transformations,
while remaining open to projects in other sectors that align with the studio's sensibility.
Whether a modern apartment, a classic estate, or a carefully considered commercial space, every project is developed in response to its context and approached in a tailored, highly considered way.
Across different scales and typologies, Claireton is defined by a clear design language that values character, coherence, and lasting appeal—delivering interiors that are as timeless as they are livable.
