There's nothing more rewarding than hearing that a client loves not only the finished result, but also the journey we took together to get there.

I'm delighted to share some lovely news: Khaya Studio has been named a finalist in the Designer category at the Bristol Property Awards 2026!

One of the most rewarding parts of my work as an interior designer is seeing the transformation that takes place between the first site visit and the finished installation. Today I’m sharing some of the before and after photographs from our Kellaway Avenue project in Bristol - a project that demonstrates just how much potential can be unlocked through thoughtful interior design.

I’m delighted to share that our latest interior design project on Kellaway Avenue, Bristol is now complete. This has been such a lovely project to work on, and it’s always a particularly rewarding moment when the final pieces are installed, the styling is finished and a client gets to see their home come together for the first time.

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.

Bristol has one of the most exciting independent coffee scenes in the UK, with a wealth of beautifully designed spaces that are as inspiring as they are welcoming. From minimalist interiors to characterful, layered environments, these cafés offer far more than just a good cup of coffee.

One of the many things I love about living and working as an interior designer in Bristol is how easily the city blends beautiful architecture with access to nature. Within minutes, you can step away from the bustle and into open green spaces, woodland trails or sweeping countryside views.

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.

Bristol is home to some of the most beautiful and characterful streets in the South West, each offering its own unique blend of architecture, history and lifestyle. From elegant Georgian terraces to colourful Victorian townhouses, the city provides an inspiring backdrop for thoughtfully designed homes.

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.

Paint colour has an extraordinary ability to transform a space. It can soften the atmosphere of a room, add warmth, introduce depth, or create a calm backdrop for everyday life. Over the years I’ve worked with many different paint brands, but recently I’ve found myself returning again and again to the palette from Farrow & Ball.

When you appoint Khaya Studio, you aren’t handed over to a team. You work with me. From our very first conversation through to the final styling touches, I remain your designer, your point of contact, and your guide throughout the entire process.

One of the questions I’m asked most often is: “Where does the name Khaya come from?” It’s a question I always love answering, because the name carries far more meaning than many people realise.

Your wardrobe might need a freshen up after 20 years and so might your interiors. Don't follow trends if you want longevity, keep it classic. But also, don't play it too safe, if you love something, go for it!

There’s something undeniably satisfying about a good before and after. The transformation, the detail, the atmosphere shift - it’s where thoughtful design truly reveals its impact.

I'm absolutely delighted to share some very exciting news: Khaya Studio has been included in House & Garden's The List 2026, an exclusive compilation of some of the UK's leading interior designers.

When people hear the term “turnkey interior design”, they often wonder what it really means. In short, a turnkey service is a comprehensive, end-to-end approach where your designer manages the entire project - from the very first concept to the final reveal.
