Make My House Home

Interior design studio

Interior designer · Norfolk · London

Function, flow
and feeling

For people with full lives, and homes that never quite got finished. I design around how you live and how you want to feel. I collaborate with architects, contractors and specialist tradespeople, guiding you through every decision, from structural changes to furniture, fabric and lighting. 75 homes across Norfolk and London, with you, not for you.

Who I work with

Capacity poor, not time poor

Most of my clients are capable, busy people whose heads are already full. It isn't about finding time. It's about mental load, and it's why so many homes never get finished.

You have the ideas, the rooms that aren't there yet and the furniture that never quite worked. What's missing is someone calm and steady to pull it all into one clear plan and carry the decisions with you, so it finally feels doable.

You're not behind. You're carrying too much to even start.

What clients say

"Rebecca's approach to interior design is refreshingly different. We love her style, but rather than imposing it onto our space, she prioritises understanding her clients' preferences and guiding them to discover and develop their unique aesthetic."
Imogen, Islington Bathroom extension
"Rebecca was wonderful to work with. She really understood my needs, style and concerns. Her ideas helped bring cohesion to a space that had felt confused for so long! When it came to me choosing fabrics, furniture and paints, her vision was the throughline that had been missing, the space looked great and made sense, finally!"
Lydia, North London Full flat renovation
"Rebecca was brilliant to work with. She took the time to really understand our family and what we needed from the space as well as what we wanted it to look like. The result is better than we hoped and a lot better than we could have managed ourselves! We used all three of the steps Rebecca offers and each one was well worth the money. In particular having Rebecca and her team manage the work took such a weight from us and they did a great job coordinating and communicating with all the moving pieces."
Alison, Haringey Living & dining room

Who I am

Rebecca Hadley, founder of Make My House Home

What I believe about homes. Watch on YouTube

Before I became a designer, I spent 14 years in homeware buying and product development. I started at Selfridges and finished as Head of Buying for Home and Kids at Cath Kidston. It taught me what people are genuinely drawn to, and why.

I've renovated my own homes more than once. I know exactly what I'm asking of my clients, because I've lived it.

I don't have a signature look. I have a signature question: who are you, actually, and how do we make your home say it?

That's why no two of my projects look alike. You'll get something that's unmistakably yours.

How we work

Where every project starts

Your Home Understood

Before you commit to builders, plans or furniture, let’s work out what your home actually needs. I’ll come to you for a calm 90 minutes, and you’ll leave with a written plan and a clear next step.

This is for you if

  • Your home is structurally fine but it doesn't feel like you
  • You're not sure about the layout and you don't want to get it wrong
  • You've moved, or you're about to renovate, and don't know where to start
  • You've spent money before and it still isn't right
  • You want to avoid the expensive mistakes before you commit

Good to know

Questions I'm often asked

Do you help with single rooms?

Yes. Many clients start with one room, often a kitchen, bathroom or living space, and some go on to do more. I design a single room the same way as a whole home: I start with how you live, then plan the layout, palette and every piece so the room works properly. See services & guide pricing.

How much does it cost to work with you?

Every home is different, so full renovations and extensions are priced around your project. All clients start with Your Home Understood (£495). Guide pricing for every stage is on the Services page.

What is Your Home Understood?

A 90-minute session in your home, in Norfolk or London. I get to know how you live, look at the function, flow and feeling of each room, and send you a written follow-up with your priorities and next steps. It costs £495.

Will my home end up looking like your style?

No. I don't have a signature look. I start with who you are and how you live, so no two of my projects look alike. You stay involved in every decision, and the finished home should feel like yours, not mine.

Do I need to know what I want first?

Not at all. Most people come to me knowing how they want their home to feel, just not how to get there. Working out the rest is part of what we do together.

I don't live in Norfolk or London. Can you still help?

Yes. Most of my work is in Norwich and across Norfolk, and in North London around Crouch End, Muswell Hill, Highgate, Haringey and Islington, but I've also worked with clients further afield. Book a discovery call and we'll talk through how we can make it work for you.
