Interior design services
“Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful.” William Morris
My design ethos is built on the idea that your surroundings have the power to improve your wellbeing. Just like the clothes you wear and the people you surround yourself with – the items, objects, and furniture you live with at home influence your happiness levels. So why not make your space the best it can be? I’d love to help you in this process.
"THE BEST ROOMS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THEM." DAVID HICKS
And like Hicks, I believe that the best homes tell their owners’ story. Have you stopped to consider how your home tells yours? Taking inspiration from my Parisian living, British heritage and an overall European aesthetic, I will help you create a cosy, inviting and beautiful home that reflects you and is filled with items that bring you joy, as well as suiting your day to day lifestyle. I also want you your home to make you feel like you’re on holiday and that you can’t wait to come back to your space at the end of a long day or after traveling.
Why work with me?
I have spent the past nine years honing my interior design skills, aesthetic and expanding my repertoire of resources, brands and addresses, making sure I know where to find the best products, unique homewares, furniture and accessories (new, vintage and antique) for the home. I have written and photographed numerous Home Tours for Rue Rodier - peeping into the homes of some of Paris’s most stylish women - and I have written about interiors for Who What Wear, Apartment Therapy, The Everygirl and Domino Magazine; contributed to Elle Decor and Forbes about Parisian interior style and details from my home have been featured on the likes of Glamour UK. I’ve also collaborated with Nordic Knots, MenuWorld, Selency &Tradition, and served as a judge on a panel for a competition hosted by Maisons du Monde and Pinterest France. In September 2021, I published Practising Parisienne, which was an Amazon bestseller in the category of Interiors and Home Design. Plus if you are Paris-based I have an address book filled with artisans and tradesman who can get the work done from concept through to installation. My team and I will manage everything from project management, logistics and final installation.
As an interior designer and stylist, it is my job to focus on the well being of the people inhabiting the spaces and their everyday living. I will consult my design toolbox and not-so-little Black Book to help you bring your space to life and make it the best it can be, whilst turning it into a home that best reflects you, your aesthetic and story, through an easy and collaborative process.
