Professional Collaborations

At Ankersen Drake, we specialise in creating beautifully organised interiors that optimise space and support daily living. Our work naturally complements that of interior designers, providing a seamless continuation from aesthetic design to functional setup.

Following extensive renovations or decorative projects, designers are often asked what condition the home will be handed over in. While placing personal belongings and setting up internal systems typically falls outside a designer’s remit, it is precisely where our expertise begins.

We step in to handle the final phase - unpacking, establishing intuitive storage systems, and ensuring every item has a thoughtfully considered place. The result is a space that not only looks beautiful but functions effortlessly from the moment the client walks through the door.

At Ankersen Drake, we work alongside both selling and buying agents to enhance the client experience at every stage of the property journey.

On the selling side, we support vendors by preparing their homes for market. Our team can stage the property for photographs and viewings, helping it appear as attractive, spacious, and well-kept as possible - increasing its appeal to prospective buyers.

On the buying side, we frequently assist clients who are concerned about storage limitations in their new home. This is particularly common when downsizing, where clients may struggle to visualise how their belongings will fit in the space. We offer tailored consultations that assess the property’s existing storage and provide a practical, considered plan for how it can be best utilised, helping buyers move forward with clarity and confidence.

On both sides of the transaction, clients often require support with the logistics of moving. Ankersen Drake is experienced in overseeing all aspects of the move - from liaising with removal companies to unpacking, organising, and styling the new home. For many of our clients, the process is entirely hands-off: they are able to go away and return to a beautifully set-up, well-functioning home that’s ready to live in from day one.

We partner with relocation agencies to support individuals and families settling into new homes, both in the UK and internationally. Whether a client is moving for work, family, or lifestyle reasons, we help make the transition smoother and more considered at every stage.

From overseeing the unpacking process to designing functional storage layouts and sourcing new furniture or accessories, we tailor our services to the client’s needs and pace. Our goal is to ensure the home feels welcoming and intuitive from day one.

With extensive experience supporting high-net-worth individuals, we understand the level of discretion, clarity, and responsiveness required in these moves. We serve as a trusted point of contact throughout the process, providing both practical expertise and a sense of calm amidst change.

At Ankersen Drake, we frequently work with residents of newly built developments across London. While these homes often feature beautifully finished interiors, many clients find that storage space is limited - a concern that may also deter potential buyers from committing to a move.

As experts in space planning and home organisation, our services can add tangible value to property developers and their clients. By helping buyers visualise how the space can function day-to-day, with bespoke storage solutions and considered layout planning, we make each property feel more livable, purposeful, and tailored.

Once a purchase is complete, we offer full support with the client’s transition into their new home. From packing and unpacking to sourcing new furniture and styling each room, we ensure the move-in process is smooth and elevated - resulting in a home that’s not only new, but fully set up to support the client’s lifestyle from the start.

At Ankersen Drake, we bring sensitivity and structure to what can often be a deeply emotional transition. Moving into a senior living residence, particularly from a long-standing family home, can be both logistically complex and personally challenging.

With extensive experience supporting clients through relocations and downsizing, we offer a tailored, hands-on service designed to make this transition feel calm and considered. From packing cherished belongings and liaising with movers to unpacking and setting up the new space, we help residents settle in with dignity, clarity, and comfort.

Our approach is thoughtful, discreet, and entirely personalised - ensuring each new residence feels like home from the very beginning.

At Ankersen Drake, we support private members’ clubs in maintaining elegant, functional environments behind the scenes. These spaces rely on discretion, precision, and quiet efficiency to deliver a seamless experience for their members - and thoughtful organisation plays a crucial role in upholding that standard.

We assist with setting up and maintaining storage areas, preparing spaces for seasonal changeovers, and implementing systems that streamline daily operations. From front-of-house presentation to back-of-house efficiency, our work ensures every area is refined, practical, and easy for staff to maintain.

We also offer staff training to support the long-term upkeep of these systems, helping in-house teams preserve the club’s high standards day after day.

We work with boutique hotels and luxury accommodations to ensure that both guest-facing areas and back-of-house spaces function effortlessly.

From sourcing and styling finishing touches in suites to implementing clear storage systems for housekeeping teams, our work enhances both the visual and operational quality of the guest experience.

For longer-term or VIP stays, we also offer unpacking and wardrobe organisation services, helping guests feel instantly at home.

In addition, we provide staff training to support the ongoing maintenance of organisational systems, ensuring the elevated standard is not only achieved, but preserved. The result is a stay that feels seamless - both for guests and the team supporting them.

Short-term rental properties rely on impact - not just in terms of design, but functionality. At Ankersen Drake, we help Airbnb hosts and serviced accommodation providers create organised, polished environments that enhance the guest experience while making operations easier to manage.

Our services include setting up intuitive, guest-friendly storage systems, styling interiors with carefully sourced products, and offering reset services between bookings to maintain a high standard over time.

For hosts offering longer stays or premium packages, we can also unpack and organise on behalf of incoming guests, creating a space that feels personal, composed, and ready to use.

We understand that the smallest details make the biggest difference in these spaces - and our work ensures they’re never overlooked.

At Ankersen Drake, we work with lifestyle management companies and concierge teams to enhance the day-to-day lives of their clients. Our services are designed to integrate seamlessly into a broader suite of luxury support offerings, bringing elegance and clarity to the organisation of the home.

Whether it’s preparing a residence ahead of a client’s return from travel, reorganising a principal wardrobe, or refining a pantry before hosting, our work is quietly transformative. We pride ourselves on discretion, efficiency, and attention to detail - ensuring everything is exactly where it should be, when it’s needed.

In addition to our hands-on services, we also offer staff training. Whether the systems in place were implemented by us or are pre-existing, we work with household teams to ensure they can maintain those systems with consistency and confidence. The result is a home that not only looks refined, but functions to the same standard behind the scenes.

We work alongside professional stylists to provide a range of wardrobe services that enhance both the styling process and the overall client experience. By taking on the often overlooked but essential tasks of organisation, decluttering, and digital wardrobe management, we allow you to focus fully on your creative expertise.

Our approach to wardrobe organisation centres on creating elegant, easy-to-navigate spaces that are both refined and practical, elevating your clients’ dressing experience and supporting your work in the long term. As experienced wardrobe declutterers, we help clients streamline their collections so only the most wearable and relevant pieces remain - making styling more efficient and enjoyable. Additionally, we offer inventory creation and digitisation services for stylists and their clients, delivering a clear, accessible record of garments, accessories, and their locations.
