Interior Designer & Artist in The Cotswolds
Creating family homes that tells your story, not following trends.
Thoughtful interior design and original art for busy families who want a home with personality, making clever use of what you have, investing where it matters and creating spaces to love for years to come.
Interior design in Cirencester, the Cotswolds and beyond.
If your home feels unfinished, cluttered or you're overwhelmed by endless design decisions, you're not alone.
As an interior designer and contemporary artist, I help homeowners create spaces that work for real life without costly mistakes or decision fatigue.
You don't need to start again. You don't need to follow every new trend or spend a fortune to make your home feel special.
I help busy families make thoughtful changes, work with what they already have and invest in the pieces that matter, creating homes that feel considered, comfortable and completely personal.
Good design isn't about starting from scratch.
It's knowing what to keep, what to change and where to invest.
MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE
Paint, panelling, clever layouts, upcycling and creative ways to transform a room without starting again.
Thoughtful furniture, lighting and original art that you'll love for years rather than replacing when the next trend arrives.
INVEST WHERE IT COUNTS
CREATE A HOME THAT'S YOURS
A mix of colour, pattern, memories, personality and practical solutions that tells the story of the people who live there.
Real homes. Real stories. No two the same.
From considered updates to whole-home transformations, I create spaces that feel collected rather than styled with colour, character and plenty of personality.

Kind Words
“Rachel was brilliant at helping with our new snug. She listened carefully to what we wanted from the room and what things we liked, then combined them into fantastic design ideas. We also really liked the shopping ideas (such as Ikea wingback chairs) that were stylish, yet affordable - thanks again!”
— Drew
“Rachel was absolutely brilliant! She listened carefully to our requirements and ideas and was very approachable, patient and responsive. Rachel's E-design package helped us create a vision for our house extension to create cohesive schemes that flowed. She helped by providing layout and joinery options, colours, soft furnishings and furniture suggestions. We really liked that she could provide a variety of options all with a range of prices.
Would highly recommend!!”
— Louise
“Rachel Maxted Interiors completely transformed our dated 1980s property into a stunning modern country home. Her vision, creativity, and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. Rachel perfectly blended contemporary style with timeless country charm, making every space feel fresh, warm, and beautifully cohesive. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend her to anyone looking to reimagine their home.”

Hello, I’m Rachel, an interior designer, artist and believer that the best homes aren't perfect, they're personal.
I believe a beautiful home should also work for real life. My approach combines practical interior design with colour, texture and original artwork to create space that feel personal, considered and practical.
My aim isn't to follow trends. It's to help you create a home that feels authentically yours, one that's designed to be lived in, loved and enjoyed for years to come.
