Why the Process Matters Just as Much as the Design

April was full on. With two projects actively on site, one in the concept stage, and another deep in design development, it’s safe to say I’ve had my hands well and truly full. Between managing trades, lining up quotes, scheduling procurement, site visits, client meetings—and all the unexpected bits that pop up in between—it’s been a month of serious momentum.

While this is my day job, and a rhythm I’m used to, each project still reminds me exactly why clients choose to work with me. Renovations, whether you’re revamping a single room or renovating an entire house, come with an avalanche of decisions—some exciting, some overwhelming, all important. And unless you’ve lived through one, it’s easy to underestimate just how much goes into making a space not only functional, but beautiful.

That’s where the real value of an experienced designer comes in.

Over the years, I’ve built a trusted network of suppliers and trades—people I know will show up, deliver quality, and care as much about the result as I do. These relationships are key. They’re what allow me to keep projects moving smoothly and troubleshoot the inevitable curveballs without derailing the bigger picture.

My role isn’t just about creating pretty spaces. It’s about bringing clarity to the chaos—translating your vision into practical action, making sure no detail gets lost, and guiding you through the process with ease (and maybe a little excitement too). I’m here to take the pressure off, make confident decisions on your behalf, and ensure everything—from lighting plans to furniture orders—aligns with your needs and style.

Because let’s face it: renovating can be stressful. But with the right support, it doesn’t have to be.

Tash completed a redesign across our home, working with some existing furniture we wanted to keep. The house feels so cosy & warm now, & I have some lovely pieces of furniture!

We can't thank Tash enough. Her eye for design, combined with her understanding of our needs and limitations was key. The first stage of our renovations have been received so well and we look forward to working with Tash again to complete phase two

We are a short term rental management company based in Cambridge, we needed fast property staging and room planning. Styled Home Design exceeded our expectations, the photography has resulted in a very profitable launch. Our guests love the design.
