I am an interior designer based near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and pride myself in creating homes that are beautiful, personal and timeless.

I have always loved interior design and when growing up, used to spend hours rearranging my bedroom to get different looks. My main design influences are nature, textiles and art.

 I have a degree in Textile Design where I specialised in digital print - this gave me a wide range of skills and experience but I felt restricted by solely designing materials and found myself wanting to create the bigger picture of a full room, not just the soft furnishings. This led me on study Interior Design which drew my passions together.

Born out of a love of traditional interior design and infusing modern elements, I started Rachel Maxted Interiors because I am passionate about creating timeless, versatile and comfortable spaces for families who want a balanced, cohesive space but don't have the time to achieve it. I love to use my background in textiles to incorporate fun prints and textures via the soft furnishings, artwork and styling.
