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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When creating or renovating a home, the relationship between the architect and interior designer is one of the most important foundations for success. Both bring unique expertise to a project, and when they work in harmony, the result is a home that not only functions beautifully but also feels timeless, elegant, and deeply personal.
