To put it simply - I love houses and being able to help transform them into unique homes. I have always been involved with interior design and styling - taking my formal qualifications in 2008/09, with Joy Interiors being established in 2010.
During the last 12 years, I have built an impressive portfolio, working closely with my clients and really understanding their requirements - creating bespoke designs for both residential and commercial projects. My work has been featured in national publications including 25 Beautiful homes, House Beautiful and The Sunday Times.
I work with a strong team of trusted trades - only working with the very best who I know will deliver a premier service for interior design solutions. This enables me to offer a full design service from concept to realisation. I offer a friendly, relaxed approach - yet deliver a truly professional service - creating designs I am proud to be part of. I believe in supporting other small businesses, and trying where possible to buy from British manufacturers.

How would you describe your style?
"My signature style is modern country/faded elegance – this is what elevated my Instagram following and grid aesthetic, but I work on all schemes/briefs provided by clients. I often try and incorporate time-worn / antiques within my schemes – I love that every client’s design is completely bespoke to them and they will retain a piece of history for many years to come. I am a perfectionist and really listen to what my clients tell me during our initial consultation – this helps me not only create visual impact but also allows me to make sure my ideas are practical and work for their needs."
Please describe a recently completed project or tell us about the bespoke service that you offer
"I am currently working on a magnificent oak frame extension / self build for clients in Warwickshire. I have been working with them for the last 3 years, from the initial purchase, through the planning stages, the build itself and now all the final interiors. It has been an absolute joy to be part of the journey and see my designs brought to life. I have worked on every room within the 7000sq ft home, and also the 2500sq ft outbuilding. This has included 4 bathrooms, master bedroom/dressing room, 4 further bedrooms, huge open plan kitchen/dining/snug family area – vaulted oak framed entrance hall, boot room, utility, cloakroom. Living room, office and children’s lounge. Being able to be part of the whole design process from the outset, has allowed me to make sure the whole home flows beautifully – from the flooring to the colour scheme. That not only looks stunning but is completely fit for purpose with a young family living there. Not being affiliated to any particular companies – I have also been able to scheme and source items from so many lovely brands, creating a completely bespoke home that really does provide the wow factor for all those visiting."
