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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

As an interior designer, I have the privilege of working on projects that balance beauty with history. The Preserve Cottage Project, set within the enchanting grounds of a historic castle, is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can both respect heritage and create a warm, welcoming home.

In recent years, we’ve seen an interesting shift in the property and interiors world - the rise of the serviced apartment. Once mainly the preserve of business travellers, serviced apartments are increasingly being sought after by those looking for flexible, design-led living spaces without the commitment of long-term tenancy.

When it comes to transforming your home, choosing the right interior designer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. While it can be tempting to look further afield for inspiration, working with a local interior designer in Bristol offers a host of benefits that can make your project smoother, more personal, and ultimately more successful.
