Real homes.
The stories behind them.

“Over the years, Roxanne has helped us completely rethink and transform much of our family home, including several bedrooms, our kitchen and dining area and our living room. As a multigenerational household, each room has had very different needs, and Roxanne has always been able to look at the space, understand how we need to use it and come up with ideas that I would never have thought of myself.

One of the first rooms she transformed was my daughter’s small box room. It was an awkward space with very limited floor area and the stair box taking up part of the room. Roxanne completely rethought the layout and found a clever way to incorporate the stair box into the design, which meant we could move from a single bed to a small double while still making the room feel much more spacious. She then redesigned and styled the whole room so that it felt more grown-up, balanced and suitable for a young adult, without making it feel cramped.

Roxanne has also redesigned and styled bedrooms for other members of our family, including my own bedroom and my father’s bedroom, as well as helping us transform our kitchen and dining area and our living room. She has always taken into account who is using each space, what they need from it and how the room needs to work day to day. That has been particularly important in our home because different family members have different physical and practical needs.

When she helped us plan the new kitchen, she brought the whole scheme together, from the overall layout and colour choices through to blinds, furnishings and the finishing touches. Everyone who came into the house commented on how lovely it looked and often asked where different things were from.

Roxanne is very talented and has a real ability to see the potential in a room. She combines practical ideas with a very good eye for design and knows how to make a space feel both beautiful and functional. I would never have thought of many of the choices she suggested, but once she brought everything together it just worked. I have always been delighted with what she has achieved in our home.”

“When we woke up to find the whole of our downstairs under water, it was completely overwhelming. Roxanne stepped in and managed the process of putting our home back together, coordinating the trades and repairs and taking responsibility for the many decisions that needed to be made.

She didn’t simply recreate what had been there before. Roxanne reconsidered the layout, designed our new kitchen herself and transformed the way the downstairs worked. She then sourced the furniture, fittings and accessories and brought everything together beautifully.

When we saw the finished result, we were genuinely overwhelmed. Our home was more practical, more cohesive and more beautiful than it had been before the flood.

Roxanne has helped us with several areas of our home over the years, including my bedroom and, more recently, our accessible bathroom. She has an incredible ability to understand both how we need a space to work and how we want it to feel.

After such a difficult experience, she didn’t just give us our house back — she put the warmth and love back into our home.”
