Rachel Power Design

We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our home and couldn't be happier with the results. Trusting someone with a project of this scale, changing every single room, is naturally nerve-wracking, but Rachel made us feel heard and supported from the very beginning. She took the time to truly listen to our needs, even involving the children to ensure the space worked for the entire family. The house doesn't just look amazing now; it functions so much better for our daily lives thanks to Rachel’s clever ideas and thoughtful touches. We would recommend Rachel without hesitation!

Rachel was a joy to work with and is so talented - she turned our dated house into a beautiful modern, home, which makes me smile when I walk from room to room. She listened to our brief but also suggested ways to improve the design and always worked within our budget. She is extremely professional but also felt like a friend - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is thinking of a design refresh.

Rachel provided a great design service, giving us great ideas for decorating our rooms and suggestions for sofas, lamps, furniture etc. I'd thoroughly recommend.

Rachel has helped us with the complete renovation of our 4 bedroom house over the past 14 months and she has been incredible at every step of the process. She made what might have been a stressful process feel fun and exciting throughout. She very quickly intuited our sense of style, preferences and interests, even picking up on tiny personal details that she must have observed in her first visit whilst we were still in our old house. She was able to help us corral our jumble of ideas and passions and Pinterest boards into workable and beautiful spaces, contributing plenty of great ideas of her own, giving excellent advice and being a queen of organisation with an incredible level of attention to detail and tactful management of everybody involved in the process from marble suppliers to curtain ladies! She made things go like clockwork, gave us plenty of notice when a decision on something needed to be made and generally took all the hassle out of the project. Her communication was fantastic and ideas were honed in the frequent back and forth exchanges both virtual and in person. She has an amazing sense of humour and was infinitely patient with my many changes of decision, some of them at the eleventh hour, not to mention my 150 sample pots of paint and endless texts about light shades and wall tiles at all hours! Her level of commitment to the project was absolute and we felt confident in the decisions we made with her guidance. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, our house feels like home and we would 100% recommend Rachel to anybody undertaking a renovation or redecoration!

We approached Rachel when we were part of the way into the project and we needed help resolving our confusion in deciding colours for a kitchen/dining/family room development. Rachel was very succinct and clear which colours and materials would combine to develop our rather one dimensional approach to the space! She was a great help and we are now clear how to proceed!

Rachel did an amazing job for us on our house redesign and refurbishment. Her attention to detail, creativity / internal design and managing to a budget and deadlines was very impressive. Rachel did all this in a relaxed, thoughtful and attentive way so we ended with a design that we loved. She also challenged our thoughts in a great way. We would highly recommend her

Rachel was excellent. She was extremely friendly, took time to understand our brief, and worked closely to our budget and style. She was also extremely flexible and we are absolutely delighted with the finished works. She was able to recommend a team to carry out the work we required who were also excellent.

We found Rachel on Google like many, but after our first meeting I knew she totally got what we were after. If you are looking for a friendly, creative, detailed perfectionist of a designer - then look no further. Rachel got our style straight away, seeing that we wanted a stylish but practical home for a family with young children. And my goodness she delivered. Along with the PM team she works closely with Rachel’s designs have become a reality. At every stage of design, product ideas through to the finishing touches of plants and cushions her eye for detail is incredible. Communication is excellent and always happy to look for alternatives. Thank you Rachel- we could not be happier with the house, on to phase 2 next year!

Rachel undertook the design of our new home throughout the entire rebuild and remodel process, working in lockstep with our architects, builders and us. Throughout the process, she was incredible, and our builders and architects loved working with her as much as we did. She was patient, responsive, reliable and timely. The builders were never held up needing a decision from Rachel - she did so many things that I didn't even know needed doing - such as detailed drawings of where light sockets and electricity outlets, radiators and other things should go, to ensure we had the best look, feel and function, as well as the colour, fabrics, furniture layouts (which informed room sizes and shapes with architects), cupboards, kitchen layouts and more. I was extremely impressed with her technical excellence and ability to deliver on all these areas, and the amount of work and time that went into it. And goes without saying that she was amazing with the interior design colours and furnishings. She quickly got a feel for our tastes and styles, and provided a perfect combination of interesting ideas, adding flair and interest that we love but would never have thought of on our own, alongside colour and style that is ideal for us. She was patient and open when we didn't like her choices, when we disgreed with each other and even when we changed our own minds - and was always happy to provide alternatives and new ideas to ensure we were 100% excited. She involved us the whole way with everything that mattered to us or where she knew we needed to pay attention (even if we didn't think we cared!) but was also fabulous at just taking care of all the small things that we didn't have a preference for, all the way down to the hooks and other details that ensured everything fit together amazingly in the house. She even took care of all the ordering and deliveries. The result of this is that we are absolutely head over heels in love with our new home and credit Rachel with the entire look and feel being exactly what we dreamed of. I couldn't recommend her more highly and more whole heartedly.

Rachel was very supportive right from the beginning and listened to all of wishes. She came up with some wonderful ideas and we are thrilled with the final designs.

Rachel brought a superb approach of thoughtful design and recommendations, from careful consideration of all we were hoping for. The project was a whole property redesign and furnish, with individual needs for each room. Having all aspect of the project handled so professionally was a weight off our minds. Thank you Rachel, you have designed us a wonderful family home.

When we decided to totally refurbish our house, I found Rachel on Houzz. She has always been very responsive and has supported us in achieving our dream home. Over several visits Rachel totally understood the brief and our vision and put together fantastic mood boards which really help you see how each room will come together, from toilet roll holders to chandeliers, you name it, and she finds it! She was even kind enough to store some larger items of furniture whilst our house was a building site! I would 100% recommend her!

As a recently bereaved and elderly widow I knew I should require help with the renovation of the the house I bought in Hampshire having sold my home of many years in Cheshire. My new house well fitted my basic requirements, but having had little attention since it was built 25 years previously, was in serious need of renovation to give it a fresh new look whilst being mindful of the necessity of providing for the needs of an elderly woman living on her own, and to accommodate as far as possible the antique family furniture she brought with her. From the start Rachel was full of enthusiasm and good ideas and I was impressed that she was keen to see photos of my previous home enabling her to find the ‘look and feel’ that I was aiming for. I had already selected a business to replace the existing bathrooms and kitchen and I was very impressed with the way Rachel coordinated both teams enabling them to work in harmony and correctly sequenced, despite all the difficulties imposed by delays, shortages and Covid. I was delighted by the soft furnishings she found and decorating proposals and by the team of people she had available to make it all happen. In emergencies, Rachel was quick to realise the need for, and to use, a vac, and very strong when furniture needed moving! I am delighted with my new home and extremely grateful to Rachel and to the team who put it together for me.

We worked with Rachel on a whole house refurbishment for our 5 bedroom property and I can’t speak highly enough of Rachel’s services. The design process was extremely professional with everything from outline concepts, full room design, sourcing and project management completed to a high standard. The finished product is excellent with all building work, fixtures and furniture delivered and built to a very high quality. Rachel is really personable and responsive; keeping us fully up to date and managing the breadth of a large project time. The whole process wasn’t in any way stuffy or pretentious and we felt comfortable asking questions, making changes or adjusting plans to our preferences or budget. Overall, would highly recommend.

Rachel is a fantastic designer and has helped us create a wonderful family home. We bought our forever home which was much larger than our last one so we needed quite a bit of furniture, but also wanted to use what we had. I had met another designer before her who wanted to replace everything and refused to work just on refreshing any room but Rachel was the complete opposite. Some rooms she just suggested a light touch, such as painting or cushions which completely changed them but others were an entire design, from flooring to AV and all furniture. She really optimised our budget combining high street finds as well as designing beautiful bespoke units such as our media unit and dressing table. Rachel took time to really understand what we wanted (with 3 young children it had to be family friendly too) and made what seemed to be an overwhelming process very easy. We could not be happier with our home and would not hesitate to recommend her.

I consulted Rachel to style our living room. She was very creative in putting together a colour scheme and furniture arrangements that I would not have thought of. She was very professional, took my small project seriously and discussed it with me multiple times to make sure it met my taste. Rachel is creative, professional and approachable and l would highly recommend her.

We would highly recommend Rachel! She helped us to re-decorate our open plan sitting area, playroom and master bedroom. She really listened to our needs and took time to understand our style. We’ve ended up with a decor that feels totally ‘us’ but she encouraged us to consider things we wouldn’t have chosen on our own. So delighted with the results! Rachel also project managed the trades for us (electrician, carpenter, decorator and handyman) - it saved us so much time & hassle, really made the process easy and seamless. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel has been absolutely amazing! From start to finish her designs, recommendations and professionalism has been above and beyond. Our home is really starting to take shape and look more and more amazing as deliveries arrive and items placed in their position. The colours, textiles, artwork and furniture all compliment each other in our home. I couldn’t recommend Rachel anymore!

My husband and I are coming to the end of an 8 month long project on the ground floor of our home. We have been so grateful not only for Rachel's fantastic designs in each room, but also her patience and guidance with our endless questions. It's been a pleasure to work with Rachel and we wouldn't hesitate to come back to her again in the future. Thank you Rachel!

We loved working with Rachel and are now getting our second project underway. Brilliant vision, love her style and excellent project management. Highly recommend!

Rachel designed and project managed my wardrobe and kitchen fitting. We started the work remotely during the lockdown and she expertly navigated me through the process from idea to design and then installation after the lockdown ended. She organised the installation and all the tradesmen did a fantastic job to turn the dream into reality. She created a design that fits my style and meets all my needs, patiently listening to all my ideas and kindly humouring my requests. Everything happened by the committed timelines and as per the agreed budget - I can highly recommend her work both as a designer and as a project manager. Thank you Rachel for making my house so much nicer! it's been a pleasure to work with you.

Rachel was responsive, warm and approachable and had brilliant ideas on how to reconfigure our new kitchen. Would highly recommend.

We had the pleasure to work with Rachel to redesign the ground floor of the house. She is a very good professional, focused on the client’s needs and offering beautiful and innovative ideas to fit the overall brief. Most of our meetings were virtual as lockdown kicked in immediately after we started working together, and we have managed to get everything done without any delay. It has been a pleasure to be working and knowing her and I would hire her again in the future.

It was wonderful and an absolute pleasure to work with Rachel - Rachel has great ideas, really listens and wants to understand exactly what you’re wanting to achieve. The designs Rachel produced were exactly what I was after, the quality of which demonstrate Rachel’s depth of knowledge and experience in interiors. In addition, Rachel is super responsive, which is so helpful when you have tight timelines.

Really great at listening to what we were looking for and tailoring ideas to our tastes and needs. Great at helping us envisage the end result and giving options so by the end it still felt like I’d had a hand in designing our space. Excellent communication and very patient when we were indecisive. I’d highly recommend working with Rachel.

We had a two story house fully decorated by Rachel. She designed it and helped us to decorate all the rooms from the beginning to the end. She understood exactly what I wanted and delivered a fantastic job. She’s very talented and professional!! I strongly recommend her.

Had a great experience dealing with Rachel, she really listened to what we wanted our nursery to feel like. The layouts and ideas were detailed and really helped us to see her vision. I also loved that she gave us a few options in different budgets for finishing touches which really made the room work. Looking forward to working with her again on a bigger project.

Rachel was employed to provide an interior design concept for a high end development in Westminster. The quality of her work was outstanding, attention to detail, designed to our budget and on a tight time line. Great to work with and an asset to any project.

Rachel came and re-designed two spaces in our house that we had found it hard to make good use of ever since we moved into our house 9 years ago. She has transformed them, both visually and practically, and I now enjoy them both so much more. She is also a delight to work with - very creative but also very prepared to listen, and we found her project management skills were excellent. I would thoroughly recommend her (and already have, to many of my friends!)

Rachel has been helping us for the past 18 months to update and re-decorate our listed 16th century farmhouse. We have appreciated most that Rachel has been able to combine my husbands and my tastes, which are very different, resulting in creating a home where we both feel our likes and personalities are reflected. We have recommended Rachel to many of our friends and family because she will go the extra mile to find that special piece of furniture for you, is incredibly creative but also practical, very reliable and fun to work with. Initially we were not sure about engaging an interior designer but we are incredibly glad we did, although we had some idea how we wanted everything to look like, Rachel has very successfully managed to bring it to life and make sure everything “hangs together”. We have been engaging Rachel on new projects, as we are so happy with the results! 5 stars PLUS from us!

Rachel helped to design and project manage various rooms in my house, including a study, 2 children's bedrooms and a dressing room. Her style and sense of colour are wonderful, her network of contacts great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

We have used Rachel Power Design twice in the last 18 months. The first was a kitchen refurbishment project. Rachel had been commissioned to design the kitchen layout, material sourcing which included tiles, kitchen worktop, flooring and colour scheme. We are very glad that we sought advice from her. We found Rachel very professional and easy to deal with. She delivered the project on time and within the agreed budget, but most importantly- very creative. Will definitely use her again, which we did in our next project - office refurbishment.

Rachel was extremely helpful in planning and designing my daughters bedroom. It's a very small space and the furniture needed to be bespoke and I was struggling to see how I could make it work. She was great at keeping me informed on my options and helping me to visualise the end result. Rachel managed the whole project and kept to our budget - we have one very happy six year old. Would highly recommend her and we are already discussing the plans for our bathroom renovation.

Rachel has a great work attitude and a great style. She listens very well but also gives great advice, practical and inspirational, which makes the process easy. She has a natural flair and the ability to make the best of every type of room i.e. size or layout.

Rachel provided a professional and seamless design service for our kitchen, lounge and hallway. We felt part of the process, and were impressed with the creative and stylish designs.

Rachel provided a professional service and really got us and what we wanted. The quality of her designs was excellent and the two projects we hired her for came in on time and on budget. We love the finished designs and enjoy the many compliments we get from visitors about our interiors!

Rachel designed our games room, providing an incredibly high quality, good value service. She worked remotely, making full use of video calls, photos, questionnaires and email exchanges to get really clear on what we wanted. We were delighted with the design that Rachel put together and we're now in the midst of making it a reality. We really appreciated Rachel's attention to detail and her creativity in coming up with options to fit our budget.
