ELLE Decoration calling him ‘the enfant terrible of British design’, and ‘one of the finest princes of British decor’.

AD Italy recently writing: ‘when it comes to design, David Carter is a master of illusion… his creations have the power to magically awaken the romantic in everyone, leaving them gasping for breath’. 

Sunday Times Style extolling ‘the sheer luxury of his vision’.

House Beautiful (USA) calling him ‘one of the world’s foremost authorities on decorative painting’, and describing his work as ‘bold, romantic, and fantastical’.

The Saturday Times Magazine hailing him as ‘a master of interior design’.

Resident Magazine describing him as an 'interiors extraordinaire... a man that's in a million worlds at once, past, present, future and sideways'.

AD STYLE writing that his work 'hovers somewhere between the nonsense of Lewis Carroll, the dandyism of Oscar Wilde and the elite decadence of Joris-Karl Huysmans'.

The Economist’s Intelligent Life introducing him as an ‘elegant sliver of fin-de-siècle aestheticism’.
