It's one of the questions we get most often from prospective clients on the Island — and it usually comes from a reasonable assumption: if a design firm's studio is in Ikeja, surely it only serves Mainland clients close by.
The short answer is no — our studio location has never limited where we work. Over nearly two decades, we've designed and furnished homes and commercial spaces across Lagos State, from the Island to the Mainland, along with select projects in Oyo and Ogun State.
Where We Actually Work
Ikeja is where our studio and workshop are based. It is not where our service area ends. In practice, our team regularly designs, installs projects in:
Lekki Phase 1 and Phase 2, Ajah, Sangotedo, and Abraham Adesanya, Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Banana Island, Chevron, Osapa London, and Agungi, Ibeju-Lekki, including the Eleganza and Novare axis, Surulere, Yaba, Egbeda, Ikotun, Ogba, Ojodu, Gbagada, Magodo, Ikorodu, Ogudu, and Ojota, as well as select projects in Ibadan, Oyo State, and Abeokuta, Sagamu and Mowe in Ogun State, and Akure, Ondo, Owo in Ondo State.
Wherever your project sits within Nigeria, our design, manufacturing, and installation process works the same way from start to finish.
Why the Assumption Exists
Most interior design businesses in Lagos operate without a fixed studio, or run as showroom-first outfits that expect clients to come to them. Dric Interior works differently. We are a fixed, in-house design and manufacturing company — the studio in Ikeja is our production base, not a boundary on who we take on as clients.
Our project management and logistics processes already account for Lagos traffic patterns and distances, since most of our clients are not based near Ikeja to begin with. Whether a project is ten minutes from the studio or on the far side of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, the process doesn't change.
One Firm, Every Stage
The second assumption worth addressing: Dric Interior is not a firm that hands a design off to third-party furniture makers or furniture vendors once the concept is approved.
We operate as a fully in-house interior design and furniture company, meaning one team is responsible for every stage of a project:
Design and space planning, including layout, materials, and finishes. Furniture manufacturing, with bespoke cabinetry, consoles, sofas, and joinery built in our own workshop. Project management, with a single point of contact from concept through completion. Installation and fit-out, carried out by our own team rather than subcontracted labour. After-care, with every piece we design and build backed by our guarantee.
This structure is what allows us to maintain consistent quality and timelines regardless of where in Lagos, or Nigeria, a project is located — there's no dependency on third-party vendors who may not service certain areas.
Frequently asked Questions
Does Dric Interior only serve clients in Ikeja?
No. Ikeja is the location of our studio and workshop, not a limit on where we work. We serve clients across Lagos State, including Lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island, and Ikoyi, as well as select projects in other States.
Do you handle full renovations, or only furniture?
Both. As an in-house design and manufacturing firm, we manage design, custom furniture production, and installation as one continuous service, not separate handoffs between vendors.
Do you work in Lekki and Ajah specifically?
Yes. We regularly design and install projects in Lekki Phase 1 and 2, Ajah, Sangotedo, Chevron, and Osapa London.
How do I start a project if I'm not near Ikeja?
The process is the same regardless of location. Book a consultation and our team will coordinate site visits, design, and delivery around your project's address.
