Words From Families I’ve Worked With
“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.”

About Rachel Maxted Interiors
I’m Rachel, an interior designer, wife, and mum, based in Cirencester, working with families across the Cotswolds and online throughout the UK.
My style is transitional with a contemporary edge - mixing old and new, warm neutrals, and timeless pieces to create family homes that feel elevated, practical and designed to be lived in.
I specialise in helping families who are upsizing, renovating, or adapting their homes as children grow.
I understand how busy family life can be, and how overwhelming home decisions feel when time and budget matter.
My approach is friendly, practical, and supportive. I won’t push trends or unnecessary spend, I’ll help you make thoughtful choices that work now and into the future.
Original Artwork & Commissions
Alongside my interior design work, I create original artwork inspired by home, nature and the Cotswolds. Whether you’re styling a finished space or looking for something meaningful for your walls, I offer a small collection of original pieces and commissioned artwork.
Ready to create a calm, cohesive home?
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by choices, or simply want your home to feel more “finished”, I’d love to help.
Most clients start with a design consultation, it’s the quickest way to get clarity and move forward with confidence.
