While it isn't the right solution for every home or every room, when specified correctly it can transform how a space feels and functions. Here's everything you need to know before deciding whether underfloor heating is right for your project.

When people think about renovating their home, it's often the kitchen, bathrooms or living spaces that receive the most attention. Yet one of the hardest-working spaces in any home is often overlooked entirely: the staircase.

Choosing flooring is one of the biggest decisions you'll make during a renovation. It forms the foundation of your entire interior scheme and influences not only how your home looks, but how it feels and functions for years to come.

Don't get me wrong – shaker cabinetry is a timeless choice for good reason. But it's certainly not the only option when it comes to bespoke fitted furniture. I'm seeing some beautiful reinterpretations that add character, texture and individuality without compromising on longevity.

At Khaya Studio, we believe great interior design begins with understanding and respecting a property's architecture. Before considering colour palettes, furniture or decorative details, we take time to understand the history, proportions, materials and character of a building. These elements become the foundation upon which every design decision is made.

There's something incredibly rewarding about transforming a room that has fallen out of use into a space that becomes the heart of the home once again. This was certainly the case for our recent project at Failand Farm, a beautiful stone farmhouse nestled in the countryside just outside Bristol.

A gallery wall is one of the most personal and expressive ways to bring character into your home. Whether carefully curated and structured or relaxed and eclectic, it offers an opportunity to tell a story - layering artwork, photography and meaningful pieces in a way that feels entirely your own.

Good storage is one of the most important - and often overlooked - elements of successful interior design. A home can be beautifully decorated, but if it lacks thoughtful storage, it will quickly begin to feel cluttered, chaotic and difficult to live in.

In recent years, interior design has often been framed as a choice between two opposing styles: minimalism or maximalism. Yet for many homeowners, neither extreme truly reflects how they want their home to feel. This is where midimalism comes in - a more balanced, considered approach that sits comfortably between the two.

One of the joys of living in Bristol, Bath, or Somerset is the wealth of period architecture that surrounds us. From elegant Georgian terraces to ornate Victorian villas and characterful Edwardian homes, each era tells its own story through design and detail.

Not every transformation requires dramatic structural change. At St George House, the brief was clear: create warmth, restore character and improve flow - all while keeping budget firmly in mind.

Somerset’s villages - with golden hamstone cottages, meandering lanes, historic churches and timeless countryside - often capture the imagination of anyone who appreciates English rural beauty. From ancient villages with medieval roots to postcard-perfect hamlets beside hills and rivers, Somerset offers some of the prettiest villages in England. Here are five that consistently top the lists for charm, heritage and landscape appeal.

When you invite an interior designer into your home, you’re placing a great deal of trust in them - not only to create something beautiful, but also to manage your investment responsibly and deliver work to the highest professional standards. That’s where accreditation comes in.

There is something incredibly special about working with Victorian homes. Their proportions, craftsmanship and architectural detailing offer so much character - but they can also present design challenges that require sensitivity and experience.

As a mom myself, I completely understand the rhythm of family living - the school runs, the endless trail of toys, the muddy wellies by the door, and the quiet moments you try to carve out for yourself amidst the chaos. A family home needs to be both practical and nurturing; a place that supports your day-to-day life while still feeling calm, considered, and beautifully designed.

For most of us, our home is our single greatest investment - financially, emotionally, and personally. It’s where our stories unfold, where our families grow, and where we spend most of our lives.

A beautifully designed bathroom has the power to transform everyday rituals into quiet moments of calm. It’s one of the most intimate spaces in the home - a retreat where we begin and end our days - and when designed thoughtfully, it can feel both luxurious and deeply restorative.

When it comes to selling a property, first impressions are everything. In a competitive housing market, how a home looks, feels, and photographs can make all the difference - not just to how quickly it sells, but to how much it sells for.

Transforming a home is a journey filled with excitement and thoughtful decisions. It’s about creating a space that reflects your personality, meets your needs, and offers comfort to everyone who lives there. Over the years, I’ve learned that a successful home transformation balances style with function, and elegance with warmth. Whether you’re considering a subtle refresh or a complete overhaul, these expert home transformation tips will guide you gently through the process.

When people ask me to define my interior design style, I often say: timeless. But what does that really mean?
