Midcentury Responds Quickly Interior Designers

“I cannot recommend Vahena highly enough—five stars simply don’t do her justice. We relocated from Asia to Cheltenham and were fortunate to find a house we truly loved. However, the interior hadn’t been updated in over 30 years. With a child in the family, we wanted to modernise the home—transforming its traditional style into something more contemporary and functional. Being new to the area, we compared several local interior designers and builders through Google. After careful research, we chose Vahena, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we've ever made. Vahena is not only an exceptional designer with a keen eye for aesthetics and detail, but she also took on the role of project manager—recommending an outstanding builder and coordinating the entire renovation seamlessly. Our house spans three floors and required major structural changes, making it a significant project. Design began in September, construction started just before Christmas, and everything was wrapped up right after Easter—perfectly in line with our agreed schedule. When we moved in, everything exceeded our expectations. From the structure and layout to the colour schemes, lighting design, and kitchen/bathroom fittings—every element was beautifully executed. One standout solution was for the dark stairwell in this old house: Vahena added two frosted glass windows along the stair wall. This brilliant idea brought in natural light while maintaining privacy, instantly transforming the atmosphere of our home. Now, nearly a year since we first met her, we can say with confidence that Vahena is not just a brilliant designer—she’s someone you can trust completely to deliver a space that reflects your vision while managing the entire process with professionalism and care. If you want a partner who truly listens, collaborates, and delivers outstanding results, Vahena is the one.”

“We did a small interior design project with Julie, for ideation of style and design direction as we didn’t know where to start. Julie is very easy to work with, and it is refreshing how solution-oriented and practical her mindset is. Overall, a very positive, thorough and inspiring personality, pleasure to work with.”

“Rebecca from Make My House Home managed my renovation, taking on my ideas and creating a coherent style that made it a real home for me. I thoroughly recommend their work to anyone thinking about taking on an interior project.”
