Staging Can Help Increase the Market Sale Price by Up to 20%
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.


How to Design an Elegant Bathroom
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.


Your Home Is Likely Your Biggest Investment
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.


What Is Circular Design?
In a world where trends move quickly and resources are finite, circular design offers a refreshing and responsible alternative - one that celebrates longevity, craftsmanship, and conscious choices.


The Effect of Our Homes on Our Mood
Our homes are far more than just the places we live - they are an extension of who we are. The spaces we inhabit have a profound influence on how we feel, how we think, and even how we connect with others.


Goodbye Feature Wall, Hello Colour Drenching!
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.

Why Do I Describe My Interior Design Style as Timeless?
When people ask me to define my interior design style, I often say: timeless. But what does that really mean?


The Importance of Client Reviews
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.


My Range of Interior Design Services
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.


The Importance of considering the Whole House in Interior Design
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.


Case Study: Roath Park Project
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.


How to Design a Utility Room: Practical Tips for a Beautiful, Functional Space
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.


Case Study: Blossom Drive Project
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.


How to Create Ambiance with Lighting
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.


My Previous Life in Retail Design (& overnight installs!)
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.
