About
Leaving a home full of memories is a big step. Many of the women I work with have already decided to downsize. What they need is someone to help them get the house ready without feeling overwhelmed or rushed.
I'm an interior stylist with a love of colour, texture and homes that feel alive. I take care of the hard parts: sorting, styling and staging, and coordinating trades where needed. You stay in charge of every decision that matters. I work digitally too, so you can see your rooms take shape in a visual design plan before anything moves, and work with me in person or remotely, whichever suits you.
Clear the clutter. Bring back the colour. Sell with pride.
Let's talkThe Journey
Decluttering, styling and staging aren't three separate jobs. Together they take your home from lived-in to listing-ready.
We sort what stays, what goes and what moves with you, gently and without pressure. I'll point you to trusted donation and clearance services for anything you're letting go.
Light, layout and colour bring each room back to life, so the space feels open, warm and cared for. You'll see your rooms planned out in a professional design plan, with a mood board, a layout and 3D views, before anything is bought or moved.
The finishing touches that photograph beautifully and help buyers fall for your home at viewings. Then comes the reveal.
Services
Every home is priced room by room, so you only pay for the rooms that need it. Furniture and finishing pieces are itemised separately, so you can see exactly where your money goes.
Founding client places: my first five clients receive 30% off, in return for a testimonial and before-and-after photos of their home. Places are limited.
Signature · The Fresh Start Reveal
The full journey for 3-bedroom homes. I take you from a full, lived-in house to a styled and staged home that's ready for photographs and viewings. It's designed for women who've decided to sell and want it done well, without carrying it all themselves.
Smaller homes and single rooms are priced room by room. Ask for a quote.

For hosts New
Some of the women I work with are downsizing and keeping a space they'd like to put to good use. If you're hosting guests, or thinking about it, my Rental Refresh helps your property look better in photos, feel better to stay in, and stand out in a crowded listing.
It's all done remotely, with no disruption to your home or your guests.
Remote design plan
Optional extras: a decluttering day, an in-person styling and staging visit, or a pre-photography check.
Room by Room
The heart of the home and the room buyers remember. Calm, bright and inviting.

Meet the Stylist
I've always believed a home should feel alive, full of colour, texture and the things that matter to you. I hold a diploma in interior design and I'm a qualified colour analyst, so I see a room the way I see a person: I notice what makes it shine and gently clear away what's hiding it.
For five years, before my daughter started school, I ran a property inventory business. I walked through around 60 homes room by room, at the start and end of every tenancy, so I know exactly what agents, landlords and buyers notice. Before that, I spent 20 years in marketing and account management, which taught me how buyers think and how to keep a project calm, organised and on time.
I started Interiors Proactive by Design for women who have decided to move on but don't want to lose themselves, or their memories, along the way.
Interiors Proactive by Design is a new studio, so I'm taking on just five founding clients. You'll get my full attention, and a founding price, in return for sharing your before-and-after story.
"Your home has held your life. Let's help it shine one last time, so you can step into your next chapter with pride."
