Once upon a time, the feature wall was the go-to design move - a single pop of colour or pattern to add drama and personality to a space. But in recent years, a softer, more immersive trend has taken centre stage: colour drenching.

We’re delighted to share that one of our recent projects - The Preserve Cottage near Cardiff - has been featured in Good Homes Magazine!

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?

When it comes to choosing an interior designer, it’s natural to want reassurance that you’re making the right decision. That’s why client reviews are so valuable - they give an honest insight into what it’s really like to work with me, from the design process right through to the finished home.

Every home is unique, and so is every client. That’s why I offer a flexible range of interior design services, tailored to your needs - whether you’re looking for guidance on a single room or a full home transformation. Working across Bristol, Bath, and Somerset, I specialise in period and heritage properties, helping clients create homes that are beautiful, functional, and deeply personal.

Working in hospitality design - from cafes to bakeries - has taught me lessons that I now bring to every residential project I take on. Designing for cafes is about more than just beautiful furniture or striking interiors; it’s about creating spaces that work effortlessly, feel inviting, and deliver a sense of calm and enjoyment for everyone who uses them.

When we think about interior design, it’s easy to picture one room at a time - the dream kitchen, a cosy living space, or a restful bedroom retreat. But the truth is, the most successful homes are designed as a whole, not as a collection of separate parts.

The Roath Park Project was a wonderful opportunity to work with a distinguished period property that had recently been extended. The brief was enhancing its functionality for modern life while infusing each space with warmth, character, and individuality.

If you’ve ever spoken to a friend or neighbour who’s been through a renovation, you’ll know that building work has a reputation for being stressful. From spiralling costs to slipping deadlines, the process can quickly feel overwhelming. But why does it so often feel this way - and more importantly, how can it be different?

If you’ve never worked with an interior designer before, one of the things you might be curious about is how trade discounts work. It’s a question I’m asked often, and it’s worth explaining because it can actually be a big benefit of working with a designer.

The humble utility room is often overlooked, yet it’s one of the hardest working spaces in any home. Whether tucked away in a period property or included in a modern extension, a well-designed utility can make daily life feel calmer, more organised, and much more enjoyable.

For many people, working with an interior designer is something you’ll only do once or twice in your lifetime. It’s a very personal service - after all, your home is where your life happens - so it’s natural to have questions about how the process works and what to expect.

Some homes hold decades of family memories - but over time, they begin to feel tired and in need of fresh energy. Our Blossom Drive Project was exactly that: a much-loved home, untouched for over 30 years, that our clients wanted to revive while staying in the neighbourhood they cherished.

Lighting has the power to completely transform the atmosphere of a home. It’s not just about illumination - it’s about mood, function, and creating spaces that feel inviting at any time of day. As an interior designer in Bristol, I always place lighting at the heart of my projects because it can make or break the way a room feels.

Before I started Khaya Studio and returned to the world of residential interior design, I spent ten years in London working in the exciting world of retail design. It was fast-paced, creative, and often a little bit chaotic - but it taught me so much about design, detail, and creating spaces that truly connect with people.

When creating or renovating a home, the relationship between the architect and interior designer is one of the most important foundations for success. Both bring unique expertise to a project, and when they work in harmony, the result is a home that not only functions beautifully but also feels timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.

Working with a listed building is a privilege, but it also comes with unique challenges. These properties are steeped in history and character, and as an interior designer in Bristol, I’m often asked how to approach listed buildings in a way that respects their heritage while ensuring they remain comfortable and functional for modern life.

Victorian terraces are full of character, but they often come with a challenge: their long, narrow proportions can make spaces feel smaller than they really are. As an interior designer in Bristol, I often work with homeowners to find clever ways of maximising space and light while retaining the period charm that makes these homes so special.

The kitchen is often the heart of the home, especially for families. It’s where we cook, gather, and spend so much of our daily lives together. But when it comes to designing a kitchen, it’s easy to get caught up in trends and aesthetics, forgetting to consider how the space will actually be used.
