Welcome

Interior design can cost £000s, but it doesn’t have to be the case.
My philosophy is simple: beautiful homes can be created by reimagining what you already own. Most houses have untapped potential. Good design does not always require new things. Often, a home simply needs a fresh perspective, a refined eye and a thoughtful re-arrangement of what is already there.
I transform the flow, balance and atmosphere of your home using your existing furniture and treasures, ensuring each room feels harmonious, current and truly lived-in. Many homes benefit from a fresh pair of eyes every decade or so, particularly as lifestyles change and families move around.
While I specialise in transforming already-decorated rooms without major expenditure, I also provide guidance on paint, lighting, layout and decorating options should you choose to refresh or renovate later.
My projects range from quick 2-hour consultations to full refurbishments, such as the Notting Hill project showcased on this website.
The House Stylist grew from 20 years of decorating homes, flats, holiday houses and rental properties. I bring this experience into every visit.
Clients consistently describe our sessions as enjoyable, energising and unexpectedly transformative, often without spending a penny on anything new.
“My commitment is to give advice that is considered, honest, and always in your best interest.”
— Francesca
Creator of The House Stylist
Which service will work for you?
Every home and every homeowner needs something slightly different. Some clients simply want ideas and feel ready to continue themselves, while others prefer more support or ongoing help as the project develops. My services are designed to flow naturally, so you can have as much or as little involvement as you like.
What People Say About Us...
I had done the basics - bed, chairs, sofas - but I let Francesca loose to work her magic with the bits and bobs I had collected. Within a few hours, a house had become a home. Every room had character, looked welcoming and 'worked'. I shall always be amazed and grateful for that transformation.
G. Robson, Dorset
Francesca made a few simple changes at no additional cost using our existing furniture. This really improved our bedroom space and my sleep no end. I’m so much happier and cannot recommend The House Stylist enough.
F.Earle, Glos
When I was doing up my house, I would get stuck with certain ideas. Francesca would immediately turn the problem upside down and together we would see a new way of solving the issue... Fabulous fresh way of looking at a whole room... or even just a little corner that somehow didn't work... refreshingly honest... makes you feel at ease and confident.
H. Redgrave, Dorset
Francesca critiqued my drawing room which had doors and fireplaces in difficult places. She saw a natural flow through the room that meant losing some pieces of furniture and replacing them with neat stylish items she found at flea and antique markets...now we can comfortably host large gatherings or small family evenings... The investment in lovely pieces was minimal but transforming and she gave new life to existing much-loved items...the feeling in the space is fresh yet familiar and comfortable.

You adapt to every situation and have insight into the aesthetic requirements of each space. We spent a happy weekend walking around my house rearranging and improving the layout, moving furniture, re-hanging pictures and generally improving the feel of The Old Farmhouse. You have a vision of how to make the most of a home.
JoJo H, Yorkshire
Francesca, while being really enthusiastic about my drawing-room, immediately saw small changes I could make that transformed the room. She has a wonderful natural eye and a sense of style that comes quite intuitively without any hint of pretension or formula. She is an absolute natural, nothing will look provincial or contrived, she has a completely original, magic wand.

Francesca is a genius at making a home sing! Using colour, pattern and texture in unusual ways she brings spaces to life and creates really interesting interiors. Crucially, she is also really fun to work with!

We had great fun going all over the flat for 2 hours with Francesca coming up with a multitude of different ideas. She was very willing to discuss each one in detail with me and sent through drawings afterwards as well as a full and very detailed report.
Nina H, London
The changes to the layout that we made on the day of your visit have made a big difference already. Now over time and armed with this reference point, things can only get better.
