About Ashley

I'm a painter and decorator with a focus on colour and thoughtful design. I work closely with clients to shape spaces that reflect who they are and how they want to live or work. My aim is always to create a space that feels as good as it looks.

How I work

Every project begins with a conversation. I want to understand how you live, what matters to you, and what's prompted you to seek support. From there, I build a picture—not just of the space itself, but of the people it needs to work for.

Decorating a home is a significant investment of time, money and headspace. My role is to bring a fresh energy and guidance, to listen and offer insight so that decisions feel clear and considered, not overwhelming. I'm naturally detail-oriented and practical, with a creative instinct that's always shaped by your priorities.

I never stop learning. That's what makes this work so rewarding.

How I Started

I spent several years working in arts and cultural organisations in London before moving to Greater Manchester with two small children in tow. It was there, reworking our 1960s house, that things started to shift. What began as a personal project quickly became something more.

Wanting to do things properly, I trained in painting, decorating and wallpapering, and soon found myself taking on work for friends who trusted me with their homes. From the very start, people asked me about colour. Again and again, I saw how much it mattered—not just to how a room looked, but to how it felt. That curiosity led me to study under international colour consultant Karen Haller, author of The Little Book of Colour—and I'm now proud to be one of her recommended consultants.
