A little about me
I'm a residential interior designer based in Ascot, Berkshire, and I've recently completed the Interior Design Certificate at KLC School of Design.
Design has always been part of my life. My mother is the artist Amanda Padfield and my father is the structural engineer Graham Daines, so I grew up with colour and creativity on one side and an understanding of structure on the other. Having lived all over the world, mostly in Asia, I've also gained a real love of different cultures, crafts and patterns, and I bring that into every home I design.
I love creating homes that feel warm, personal and full of character. Each scheme starts with you: your routines, what you love and the history of your house.

MaePlaces and things I love
Crewelwork and embroidery, blue-and-white, old panelling, Italian courtyards and colour from my years in Asia. These are the things I keep coming back to, and they find their way into every scheme.
Where every scheme begins
Every project starts in my sketchbook: first impressions, fabric tests, headboard shapes and lamp ideas, long before anything is ordered.
