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.

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.

Transforming a home is a journey filled with excitement and thoughtful decisions. It’s about creating a space that reflects your...

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 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.

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.

Victorian terraces are full of character, but they often come with a challenge: their long, narrow proportions can make spaces feel smaller than they really are. As an interior designer in Bristol, I often work with homeowners to find clever ways of maximising space and light while retaining the period charm that makes these homes so special.

The kitchen is often the heart of the home, especially for families. It’s where we cook, gather, and spend so much of our daily lives together. But when it comes to designing a kitchen, it’s easy to get caught up in trends and aesthetics, forgetting to consider how the space will actually be used.
