Interior Designer & Contemporary Artist creating beautiful, personal spaces based in The Cotswolds
Practical, beautiful interior design to help busy families create calm, cohesive homes that work for real life. If your home feels unfinished, cluttered or you're overwhelmed by endless design decisions, you're not alone. As an interior designer and contemporary artist based in Cirencester, I help homeowners across the Cotswolds and online throughout the UK create spaces that tell their story without costly mistakes or decision fatigue.
From one-off interior design consultations to full-service interior design, original artwork and bespoke art commissions, I create thoughtfully designed homes with warmth, personality and a truly personal finishing touch, giving you the clarity and confidence to move forward.
(Limited consultation spaces each month)
Why work with me?
Every home has a story, and I believe the best interiors are those that reflect the people who live in them. By combining thoughtful interior design with original artwork, I create homes that feel personal, cohesive and lived in rather than styled for a photograph.
Whether you're redesigning a single room, renovating your home or searching for the perfect statement artwork, I'll guide you through the process with practical advice, creative ideas and a calm, collaborative approach.

Kind Words
“Rachel was brilliant at helping with our new snug. She listened carefully to what we wanted from the room and what things we liked, then combined them into fantastic design ideas. We also really liked the shopping ideas (such as Ikea wingback chairs) that were stylish, yet affordable - thanks again!”
— Drew
“Rachel was absolutely brilliant! She listened carefully to our requirements and ideas and was very approachable, patient and responsive. Rachel's E-design package helped us create a vision for our house extension to create cohesive schemes that flowed. She helped by providing layout and joinery options, colours, soft furnishings and furniture suggestions. We really liked that she could provide a variety of options all with a range of prices.
Would highly recommend!!”
— Louise

Rachel perfectly blended contemporary style with timeless country charm, making every space feel fresh, warm, and beautifully cohesive. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking to reimagine their home.”
