Creating calm, clever spaces you love to come home to.

By combining clever design, decluttering and decorating, I work alongside you to quickly transform not just how your home looks, but how it feels and functions.

Every corner of your home needs to work harder than ever before to support you, your family and your work. I help busy people create spaces that feel calmer, work better and bring a little more joy to everyday life.

  • Rethinking layouts, floor plans and the function of a room. Creating mood boards, colour palettes and plans for up-cycling or repurposing existing furniture

  • Helping make decisions about what should stay and go, finding loved items that need a home and creating much needed space to repurpose

  • Bringing colour and fun back into a space whether on walls, woodwork or furniture. Helping the space feel clean, refreshed and inspiring

what people are saying

“Both my partner and I work from home and with two young children our home had really lost its way. It was chaos and really stressful.

Jo not only gave us some great ideas we had never thought of, she helped us make decisions, filled us with confidence and then within days we felt like we had an entirely new living space.”

Laura & Tim - Trumpington, Cambridge

“After a crazy few years with no time to do all the DIY we intended to, we’d really lost the love for our house and thought our only option was to move. Jo brought energy, positivity and a really practical approach, rolling up sleeves with us to totally rethink the layouts of our rooms and how we could use them differently. The whole family loved working with her.”

Ros - Cherry Hinton, Cambridge

“Jo really understands what it’s like trying to juggle children, work and family and how little time (and money!) you have.

We needed help with decorating and decluttering years of ‘kids stuff’ and can’t believe how much progress we made in such a short time working with Jo. Our kids rooms were sorted with in days and we now have the motivation to keep going ourselves.”

Emily & Sam - Petersfield, Cambridge
