Olive and Wilde Interiors Dorchester

A new interior design studio and co-working space opens in Dorchester.

A space for creativity, inspiration and finding the right interior design for you, Olive and Wilde Interiors is a unique independent shop that opened in September 2025 by a creative young woman entrepreneur, Laura Eleni. Laura, who is a passionate creative herself, saw that Dorchester needed a creative and inspiring space for property designers and for other entrepreneurs to find a collaborative and creative environment to work on projects within stunning decor.

Since its opening in September, the interior design store has enjoyed great success, with customers praising the inspiring space and remarking on the impressive transformation from what the building once was before Laura took it over. At Dorchester BID, we’re thrilled to see how this location has been reimagined into a creative masterpiece of a store.
