Welcome
An interior design service can cost £000s. My aim is to try not to spend money on new decorations when your existing pieces can be used in other ways. An important step before an interior designer is involved.
I alter the flow and feel of a house as many homes need a fresh pair of eyes every ten years or so, to keep up with changing lifestyles and times.
I go into an already-decorated home with existing furniture to make changes. I can and do advise on what could be done should you have the budget or the plan to re-decorate.
My projects shows different levels of involvement from a 2-hour consultation to a full refurbishment as shown in the Notting Hill home.
The House Stylist service grew from 20 years of decorating houses, flats, holiday homes and buy-to-let properties. I offer access to this design experience.
I am told that the time I spend with my clients is friendly, fun, constructive and produces surprising results even when only using your existing pieces.
“My commitment to you is to provide advice that is considered, honest and in your best interest.”

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!
