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.

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.

Choosing fabrics is one of the most enjoyable - and often most defining - stages of any interior design project. Fabrics bring personality, softness, and soul to a space, tying together colour, texture, and comfort in a way that hard finishes never can.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
