Why work with me?
Esther Walker
The interior design world is wonderfully diverse with so many choices and so much inspiration available. Never mind the vast array of interior design magazines, just a quick glance at Instagram and there are literally thousands of different beautiful interior images to inspire you, but how do you decide which style is right for YOU and YOUR home?
So often we see something we like and we copy that style simply because it looks beautiful and we want to experience that in our own homes. Perhaps you tried this and then felt disappointed that it didn’t look or feel right and its hard to put your finger on why, for it looked great in the space that inspired you….
Or maybe you and your partner have really different tastes and you can never agree on an approach, so in the end you both end up compromising and mixing your unique styles and it doesn't really create the vision that either of you intended. Or perhaps you don’t even get started!
The approach I work with eliminates that, colour personality profiling which works with colour psychology enables me to fine tune and create a unique and bespoke design, perfect to the person/s.
And so, do you need help with creating a beautiful & harmonious home?
- Do you find you love many different interior design styles but aren't sure which is really you?
- Do you want your home to be an extension of your own unique personality, a sanctuary that is perfect for you rather than just copied from the pages of a magazine?
- Do you find it tricky to harmoniously link your style throughout your home?
- Do you have cluttered rooms that make you feel stressed?
- Do you own a collection of beautiful objects but aren't sure how to best curate and display them?
- Do you want to create a home that feels as well as looks good?
Are you ready to experience all the feelings of a beautiful home?
Your outer experience effects your inner experience but it is your inner that creates the outer!
What you perceive is what you weave into reality, yes you have this power!
So I invite you to pause for a moment and pay attention to what you see and what you feel in your home - a sacred space;
Do you see a beautiful graceful space, that makes you feel serene? Or
Do you see a bland and messy space, that makes you feel stressed?
From your schooldays you may recall that shelter is one of the most basic of Maslow's hierarchy of needs - a basic need must be self actualised in order to create the feeling of fulfilment. I help you actualise a basic need into the pinnacle of its potential!
Your home is your shelter, it is your most important environment.
A home is a secure place to thrive, it calms you, it nurtures you, it protects you, it comforts you, it grows you. It nurtures your family and possibly the next generation. It is a hub to friends, it is a place of enjoyment and memory making. It is the pinnacle of potential. A home nourishes and feeds the soul and it should always be a place of love.
And so it is important for ones own sense of wellbeing on every level: mindfully, emotionally, physically, and spiritually to ensure that your home reflects your vision of beauty, which is YOU. It is unique to you.
In addition to colour psychology I help you to pay attention to what you see and what you feel or what you would like to. Armed with this information I curate it, and together we create it.
If you have answered Yes to any of the above, if you want support creating a beautiful home that fulfils you, that makes your heart and soul sing! then I would love to hear from you and have a chat about how I may help you. I do hope my approach makes sense! if you have any questions please do get in touch for a conversation.

This stunning Grade 1 listed coach house was surrounded by ancient parkland, so it wasn’t difficult to draw upon the beauty of nature for inspiration
Attention to detail is key to creating a beautiful space, from furniture to cushion trims
The finished room is timeless, comfortable & peaceful. Room layout planning was essential to include practical storage solutions in this narrow space.
HOW I WORK
I weave the art of colour psychology into the consultation stage with my clients, this fun creative process starts my own intuitive design of understanding what fundamental concepts will delight my clients.
I use my feelings and intuition more than any learnt interior design education, to really understand the sense of feeling that my client needs their home to reflect.
The home environment is so intrinsically linked to the person and it is unique to that person's attributes, their energy, their persona, their personality, their expression. I work at a deeper level than just understanding what the space will be used for.
I‘m all about the feeling!
And so I focus on creating a home that is full of feeling for a home should feel like a haven, a retreat, a sanctuary, a sacred space.
I find it immensely rewarding working creatively with the array of beauty available within the home interiors world, wallpapers, fabrics, paints, textures, lighting, colour and pattern - oh my!
It feels like a magical process because I love the fulfilment of creating a home that FEELS as well as looks beautiful, and gracing others with such a gift, for your home is so much more than a shelter or a functional space. Bringing joy to others by helping them to project their vision and feelings of a home full of heart and soul into a beautiful reality, is my purpose.
My objective is to create a design that blends together all of the clients ideas and any aspects of design that they love, with my own creativity and design experience. To create a scheme that not only meets the brief, budget and schedule, but that also delights both the client and end users of the space.
I offer a range of services, from a full comprehensive design service bespoke to my client's requirements, to providing help and advice with design ideas via a design concept mood board or offering a styling service.
My services cover a single room scheme or a complete property. I work with both Residential and Commercial Properties, with a keen interest in the luxury holiday let market.
I have a 16 year corporate background in managing global loyalty programmes which provided me with strong insight into the world of customer journey mapping and experience, a transferable skill that I apply to holiday let design.
