About

I'm Rachael an Interior Designer who specialises in residential work, however will do any kind of design work.

 

I've been into design, specifically Interior Design since I was young and have always liked the idea of a challenge and the idea of making someone's house a home. I think design plays a huge role in the way we feel going out to different places / how we feel when we come home and we all need a bit of a space where we can feel like ourselves and feel comfortable where we are and my hope is that everyone would feel comfortable in my designs.

Project overview

Bookstore Cafe - Coppull Mill

This project was to create a safe space for people to come together and forget about the difficulties they may be facing in their lives. 

With Covid and the cost of living making things really difficult in the world I really wanted a place for people to socialise and forget about reality even if it was just for a little while or maybe for them to share their issues with others and see that they're not alone. 

The most important thing is to talk and to get things off your mind and I think that having a local building which has been around for years and has been included in a lot of people's childhoods was a good place to start.
