Interior Portfolio : Transformation Gallery
When entering a space my head spins with ideas... playing with colours, textures & vibe.
My mood is deeply affected by my surroundings; the lighting, the karma, the stories portraid. My designs don't go for the obvious approach but do couple functionality with beauty - it's something that brings me so much joy - & more than that, joy that can be shared with U!
I love transformation - where I can, & wherever possible - I re-use... spending time to re-imagine once loved elements that have been cast aside, giving them purpose to help build the story without breaking the bank.
My confession now to U is that I have a busy brain, with both BIG picture & attention for detail abilities.
No stone is left unturned. Each element must have a reason for being invited!
"Sexiest utility I've ever walked in, so sophisticated... but oh my days the space so practicle too!" (Nic, a happy homeowner) Client Testimonial, June 2026.
Utility room : a converted garage, void of design, full of function.
With a limited budget things had to get creative on this project. With a fabulous builder on side, we rescued the kitchen carcass from the skip! I stripped back the cubboards, primed, repainted & fitted with new hardware to create a durable (all solid wood) cost‑effective but truly beautiful base for everyday tasks!
The carcus wasnt all we saved though. This project also paired a salvaged butler sink from a worksite in Hertforshire.
The space blends practicality with charm. It says "If you have to clean & wash, do it with style!".
The refreshed cupboards provide generous storage for laundry, cleaning supplies, kitchen overflow & story while a hard‑wearing worktop & moisture‑resistant paint ensure the finish stands up to heavy use.
"It was a small space, with no storage. I'd never have thought to get rid of the pipework that way & yet it makes so much sense. I use the space every day & smile evertime I do - beautiful" (Jo, my curveball client) Client Testimonial, Jan 2026.
Ensuite: a loft ensuite toilet, dated & cramped.
Even small spaces like this bathroom can add so much to your daily attitude.
This was a full rip out - we kept the shower tray but everything else had to be replaced & shower door a bespoke build. We shifted the direction of the toilet to gain back space, putting piping in the walls instead of the full ledge that was there before. Fully heated flooring too was added in so that heading from the redundent towel rail was no needed.
We did have a challenge by the clients here, to use some left over tiles they had from another project. A creative curveball if you will. It helped keep material costs lower but also looked incredible. Waterfalls were sentimental to her & so we added in a waterfall wall to the shower... she noted each day brings a smile first thing now - which is what its all about!
"I mean what do you even do with a space like this? BUT... so useful now - Candice really listened to how important family is to me and built that in without an obvious family portrait staring at you on the loo!" (Lucy, cubby under the stairs) Client Testimonial, March 2026.
Understair toilet : a small space, with so much potential.
With a four bed, very sociable, family home - this clients' missing piece was a downstairs or rather down-under stairs toilet (sorry thats only funny if your hubby is Australian right).
Anyway, we rescured a kitchen worktop cut off for the shelf over the toilet there but mostly it was starting from scratch. When discussing the project & how her home should feel it was apparent that family was all to her, so a kwirky wallpaper "birds flock together" intent was put forward. I'm so happy she went for it, as its a big talking point apparently for visitors & family alike! The bold wallpaper matched with a clashing pattern handmade tile made this space.
