The move from a garden-less city flat to a five-story townhouse with its own small garden and roof terrace is a huge one, physically, financially, and emotionally. But for the young couple in this case, experiencing such a leap is one that has reaped benefits aplenty, not least the opportunity to work with interior designer Rebecca Hughes. 

The couple – he is in property, she is a full-time mother to their young daughter – had discovered Rebecca’s work through a recommendation and realized her collaborative approach to interiors, as well as her focus on delivering a holistic end-to-end design experience, was one that chimed with their needs. ‘The new house gave them more space than they’d had before. They had big rooms to fill and an unusual lower-ground floor layout to consider. All the questions and decisions were ones we could resolve together,’ says Rebecca.
