Alice Hayles
Curating colourful, comfortable homes with style.
Designing. Styling. Sourcing.
I believe anywhere we live feels and looks beautiful when it works. With a passion for design and an eye for detail, I collaborate with property and business owners to transform their properties into distinctive and beautiful environments, creating a seamless finished look and feel that is unique to the people who live or work there.
Where creativity meets practicality.
“Sometimes my clients have already decorated and it’s not quite feeling together. Sometimes an Airbnb has been renovated and my clients need something that will pull in the crowds on Instagram. The little details are important so whatever their needs, we start by understanding how they use their space, how they want it to work and feel, starting with perhaps an inherited antique treasure or unique contemporary find, perhaps a seaside theme for a coastal cottage or a some cosy cottage-core, we’ll look at layering together textures, patterns and colour. It’s the details to make that interior feel finished and really sing. “
Design
An interior is unique to everyone. I mix classic and vintage to create timeless, vibrant interiors with an English-inspired aesthetic. Whether simply looking for a refresh or embarking on a full-scale redesign, I tailor every detail to reflect a need, vision and lifestyle.
Styling
Over the years, I have built strong relationships with trusted suppliers and artisans, enabling access for all my clients to a range of high quality textiles, furniture and objects. My role is to enable access to these relationships according to a project budget and desire.
Sourcing
My expertise in interiors lends itself to styling locations for shoots, events or even simply an important dinner. Blending aesthetic with practicality, I deliver a cohesive looks using existing items or sourcing entire landscapes of props.
Visual Merchandising
With an early career Visual Merchandising at Urban Outfitters and Graham & Green, I understand the importance of creating engaging high impact displays for retail that compel customers and enhance their shopping experience. Using the power of visual storytelling, design spaces are created that look great, encourage sales and enhance brand presence.
Project Management
Ideas mean nothing without excellent delivery. Project management expertise ensures projects run on time and on budget, coordinating and managing contractors and watching for those fine details that take a project from great to exceptionally unique.
At the heart of my work is a deep love for design and a commitment to bringing your vision to life. Whether you’re looking for a complete interior overhaul or a little expert guidance, I’m here to make the process exciting, inspiring, and effortless.
