🎃 👻 House of horrors? Regret buying that sofa? 👻 🎃

It looked gorgeous in the showroom. Now it’s in your living room and you’re wondering what on earth you were thinking!

Too big, the wrong colour, or so bulky you’re practically climbing over it. You might have even had to take the window out to get it in.

Showrooms can be deceiving, which is why when it comes down to the finer details, getting the layout, colours and proportions right is all part of my interior design process.

I’ll help you work out what will look right, fit properly and work for your space before you spend your money.

Let’s keep the nightmares for Halloween, shall we?

Yes, I challenge my clients. And that's a good thing!

You might think that working with an interior designer means telling them what you like and having them bring it all together beautifully.

And of course, that's part of it.

But I also see my role as gently challenging your thinking.

Perhaps it's encouraging you to be a little braver with colour, questioning whether your existing layout really works, or suggesting you keep a much-loved piece of furniture rather than replacing everything with something new.

Sometimes it's asking why you want something, rather than simply agreeing that you should have it.
Because the best interiors aren't necessarily the ones that follow the original brief to the letter.

They're the ones that evolve through thoughtful conversations, fresh perspectives and occasionally guiding you outside of your comfort zone.

I'll never push you into something that doesn't feel like you. But I will encourage you to explore possibilities you might not have considered.

After all, you're not paying me to simply agree with you. You're paying me to help you see what's possible.
And that's where some of the most exciting design decisions happen.

Would you be open to having your ideas challenged if the end result was something you'd never have imagined yourself?

Have you ever walked into a room in your own home and felt that something just isn’t quite right, but you can’t put your finger on what it is?

It might not be the furniture, the colour on the walls or the things you’ve collected over the years. Sometimes, it’s the lighting, the layout or how everything works together.

I’ve written an article about looking beyond how a room looks and thinking about how it makes us feel, too. Have a read and let me know if it strikes a chord with you https://lnkd.in/e36FCYJ7

Architect plans look incredible on paper, but do they work for real life?

Sometimes, a client comes to me with architectural drawings they aren't fully happy with. It’s not that the design isn't striking; it’s that it hasn't been tested against how they actually live day-to-day.

Take a dramatic gable window, for example.

It has undeniable "wow factor", but when you look at practical living, like curtains for example, you realise standard curtains won’t fit, leaving you with light streaming in at 5am!

My job as an interior designer is to act as that essential bridge between the architecture and your daily routine. If something isn't suitable for real life, I catch it early and adapt the plans before a single brick is laid.

Your home shouldn't just look amazing on paper; it needs to feel like home when you're living in it every single day.

Creating your dream home should feel exciting not overwhelming.

When you work with me, you aren't just getting pretty mood boards. You get a dedicated interior design partner taking care of every single detail.

My 7-step collaborative design process takes you from that initial spark of an idea right through to the final styling! You get a home you love, without all the stress of trying to manage everything yourself.

From forgotten room to favourite room.

This beautiful period property in Almondsbury had one small room that the owners wanted to keep the charm of a snug, that feeling of a cosier, warmer and more inviting space.

That's exactly what I created.

The design brings together a warm, tactile colour scheme with the original parquet flooring, which was carefully restored, while the walls were stripped back and brought back to life.

Then there was the window seat...I made that the star of the room, with subtly shimmering gold curtains and a bespoke seat cushion that turned it into the perfect place to settle in.

The result? Everything a snug should be! The kind of room that makes you want to curl up, get comfortable and stay a little longer!

A house becomes a home when every room works for the people living in it. This project was a single long living room that looked fine on paper but didnt work for the family living there, so the brief was simple: create a space we can all be in together.

I always start with the room itself, before colour or furniture, the dimensions, where the light comes in, how it connects to the rest of the house. I knew I needed to make the room feel wider, more open and suitable for the whole family.

Then comes the part that makes it feel like them. A warm palette chosen around their taste, a media wall and bookcase built for the way they actually use the room, and lighting in layers so it works on a dull afternoon as well as a late evening.

Every decision gets weighed against their style, their lifestyle and their budget, so the money goes where it will be most effective.

None of it happens on my own. I'm lucky to work with a really skilled team of trades, and part of my job is to bring everything together: the design, the drawings, the timings, the hundreds of small decisions. That way my clients aren't left juggling any of it.

About six weeks later they had a completely transformed room and more considered than they thought possible when we started. That's what I mean by turning a house into a home.

If you're in Bristol, Bath or Gloucestershire and have a room that isn't quite working, send me a message. I'd love to help.
