Interior Designers in Newent, Gloucestershire

“After speaking with several interior designers I contacted Katherine and knew from our first call that she totally understood what we were trying to achieve with the renovation of our very derelict Victorian farmhouse! This was not our first project so we had really strong ideas for the design and final finish, but taking on the huge task of project managing the build ourselves meant Katherine’s advise and guidance throughout was invaluable in helping finalise decisions on lighting, paint colours and the like when decision fatigue was at it worst! It has been an absolute delight working with Katherine, her flexible, intuitive approach was exactly what we needed. The house has surpassed our expectations and Katherine has very much been part of that realisation. If we ever take on another project (we won’t!) Katherine would be at the top of my contact list! Thank you so much for helping us create our beautiful forever home, your expert touch is certainly felt here :)”

“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.”

“Chantel did a fantastic job on our house in Wimbledon and we couldn't be happier! She's got some fabulous ideas and all the furniture and decor suggestions she made were very much spot on! Her assistant Kerry and the whole team of people that Chantel works with are all equally professional and a pleasure to deal with! Working with a professional designer takes a lot of stress off your shoulders and makes settling into a new property a lot easier, so thank you Chantel!”
