About Ashley

I am a painter and decorator – and so much more. I’m passionate about turning houses into homes and offices into hubs of creativity and success. I’m truly invested in discovering what makes you tick to create a space that will inspire you to live and work at your best.

How I work

First we talk. I get to know what drives you, what makes you happy. You tell me about your motivations, family, personality and lifestyle so I can form a vision of your ideal space. A decorating job costs you time, effort and money and I’m committed to getting it right. I’m highly organised and obsessed with detail. I listen to you and empower you to make decisions. I love bringing a creative touch to a project – but always on your terms and with your vision in focus.

I’m fully engaged, alert and “in flow” when I work. I simply love what I do and never get bored. The secret to my continual energy and enthusiasm? I never stop learning. Each job teaches me something new.

Who are my clients?

From corporate managers to artists, families and small independent business owners, I work with anyone looking to create a happy space to live and work.

From putting up kitchen wallpaper for retired couple David and Vera, to turning Matt and Liam’s tattoo and piercing studios into calming and inspiring spaces, I bring my passion for colour to every client.

In the beginning

I studied music at university and worked in arts administration and HR for several years in London. When the little ones came along, we moved to Manchester. I began to remodel the 1960’s house we’d bought and found joy.

I took courses in painting, decorating and wallpapering and a few good friends trusted me to redecorate their homes. Most of my work now comes from recommendations and repeat clients. From day one, clients were asking me about colour. I realised there was so much more to the way we use colour and design in the home and wanted to take a deep dive into understanding how it works. I took several courses with Karen Haller (international colour consultant and author of Little Book of Colour) and under her guidance and mentorship I am proud to be one of her recommended colour consultants.
