Love it, don't list it

It’s easy to feel frustrated with a home that no longer works for you. Perhaps it’s the awkward layout, the lack of storage, or simply a space that doesn’t reflect your current style or lifestyle. The knee-jerk reaction? Start browsing property listings. But before you fall down a Rightmove rabbit hole, I’d love to suggest an alternative: love your home, don’t list it.

Moving house comes with a mountain of stress, not to mention hefty costs — stamp duty, legal fees, removals, and all the little surprises along the way. And let’s not forget the emotional side of leaving behind a home full of treasured memories.

At Khaya Studio, I specialise in helping clients rediscover the beauty in the homes they already own. Whether it’s adding a thoughtfully designed extension, reimagining the flow of a living space, or finding clever, bespoke storage solutions, there are so many ways to make your existing home feel like new — without ever having to call the estate agent.

I’m a big believer that period properties in particular have a grace and charm worth preserving. With careful attention to detail — from elegant wood panelling and considered finishes, to integrating beautiful antiques and art — your home can be elevated into a space that feels both timeless and entirely yours.

What’s more, working with an experienced interior designer means you can relax and enjoy the process. I’ll guide you seamlessly from concept through to completion, removing the stress so you can focus on what matters most.

If you’re ready to fall in love with your home all over again, I’d be delighted to help. Get in touch for a free consultation — let’s see what’s possible within those four walls you already cherish.
