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.

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 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.

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.

I had the incredible privilege of styling and staging the Waterside Project, a stunning property overlooking Pittwater Estuary in Sydney. This breathtaking location called for interiors that complemented the natural beauty outside while creating a warm, inviting space for holiday guests.

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.

Choosing the perfect colours for your home isn’t always as simple as picking a paint chart. Colour affects everything - the mood of a room, how large it feels, how natural light behaves, and how the space connects with the rest of your home. That’s where colour consultancy comes in.

In the world of interiors, trends come and go faster than ever. One minute it’s boucle everything, the next it’s dopamine brights or checkerboard rugs. While it’s tempting to follow what’s ‘in’, the truth is that many trends date quickly — leaving your home feeling out of step just a year or two later.

When it comes to creating a home you truly love, working with the right interior designer can make all the difference. Bristol is home to a wonderful community of creative designers, but finding the perfect fit for your project can feel overwhelming.

There’s a special kind of charm in period properties — rich with history, characterful quirks, and beautiful original details. At Khaya Studio, we love breathing new life into heritage homes while preserving their soul.

At Khaya Studio, we believe that good design goes beyond aesthetics - it nurtures wellbeing, restores balance, and connects us to the world around us. Biophilic design is a beautiful way to achieve exactly that.

When it comes to selling your home, first impressions truly matter. Buyers often make up their minds within moments of stepping through the door - and while practicalities like location and layout play a role, it’s emotion that seals the deal. People don’t just buy bricks and mortar; they buy into a lifestyle, a feeling, a vision of what their life could be.

When it comes to creating a successful Airbnb, décor plays a far bigger role than many people realise. Beyond clean sheets and a good Wi-Fi signal, guests are looking for something memorable - a space that feels warm, inviting and just a little bit special. The key is to strike a balance between comfort and character, and that’s where thoughtful, considered design makes all the difference.
