Hello,
so good to see you!
Do you want to live in a home that speaks volumes about you? If so then contact me now! I specialise in helping clients style and curate their homes by focusing on balancing everyday functionality with inspiring design. By incorporating your favourite personal possessions acquired through your journey of life, I can create your own personal sanctuary where you can enjoy, recharge and thrive. This is especially important in recent times as homes have had to multi task and become all purpose hubs incorporating office, gyms and schools all in one. Designing for the lifestyle you want with inspirational and practical ideas.
My name is Carmen
I'm your new house stylist bestie specialising in reinventing residential spaces by curating meaningful interior experiences through story telling and design. My mission is to help home owners form an emotional connection with their home rather than follow interior design rules or trends, and in so making interior design more fun and less intimidating.
Services
I offer a multitude of design services for home owners, holiday home businesses and property staging from concept design to sourcing and procurement and project management. I'm here to help you curate your dream property.

Testimonials
”We weren't sure on how to make our new house work for us, especially as we were now both working from home. Carmen soon established the difference of our needs from our wants and identified the areas we needed to work on to create separate zones whilst maintaining maximum flexibility for the families future.”
Nicollas Ductorn
Director of Corporate Marketing - Forge .
Testimonials
”I was at a loss on how to make our new home fit around our lifestyle with two toddlers and a new baby on the way. The Victorian house we lived in just didn't work for us as a family. We tried to alter bedrooms and change the layout but we didn't really know what we were doing and still couldn't create the house we needed with a growing family. After wasting a substantial amount of money and time on seemingly useless alterations we called Carmen in and after a few meetings we were able to come up with a new design concept perfectly matching not only our lifestyle but also catering for all our needs.”
Jack Smith
CEO of Fruit Juices.
Testimonials
”We'd worked with an interior designer before but had grown sceptical due to the high costs and delays in getting our property finished. Carmen was very different, She quickly came up with a functional design brief and efficiently organised all the trades and suppliers making our lives so much easier during the stressful building works. Im for ever grateful for her help. ”
