About
We believe children's rooms should feel imaginative without sacrificing function - beautiful spaces that work hard behind the scenes and evolve alongside your family. From nurseries and playrooms to shared bedrooms and reading nooks, we design spaces that are as practical as they are personal.
Storage matters just as much as aesthetics. Layout matters just as much as colour. And the smallest details (the right lighting, a well-placed bookshelf) can completely shape how a room feels to both children and parents.
Founded from a love of interiors and shaped by years spent designing spaces for our own children, Pint-Sized Spaces was born from the idea that family design can be elevated, warm and functional at the same time. Because the spaces children grow up in become part of the fabric of family life, and those spaces deserve just as much care and attention as the rest of the home.

After years working in journalism and social impact communications, I found myself increasingly drawn to interiors, particularly the way homes can shape family life.
What began as designing spaces for my own children quickly became something more. Friends started asking for help with nurseries, playrooms and shared bedrooms; spaces that needed to feel calm, functional and beautiful all at once. I realised there was a gap between highly formal interior design services and the reality of what many young families actually needed: thoughtful, affordable, practical design that still feels elevated and warm.
Alongside co-founding trove, a property buying agency helping families find homes that truly fit the way they want to live, I've spent years thinking about what makes a home work well. From layout and flow, to storage, functionality and the small details that shape everyday life, this same thinking sits at the heart of Pint-Sized Spaces.
I've always believed children's spaces deserve the same care and consideration as the rest of the home. The rooms I'm most drawn to are layered, full of character and deeply functional, spaces that feel collected over time rather than overly styled.
My approach is collaborative and highly personalised. I want clients to come away with spaces that feel entirely their own - functional enough for real life, but still full of charm, imagination and joy.
