My Story

Maybe you want to make your home a more gorgeous place to be? Or you’re feeling overwhelmed by a decorating project and aren’t sure where to start? Well I’m here to help.

My name is Sarah and I’m a qualified interior designer and natural born problem solver. I love working with clients to help transform their homes into beautiful spaces that are a joy to live in.

I’m passionate about colour - giving clients the confidence to take bolder, braver decisions to truly unlock the beauty of their home. And function - integrating practical solutions at the heart of the design process to compliment the way they live.

My passion for interior design began as a hobby, renovating three of my previous homes. When I started being asked to redesign my friends’ homes too, I realised interior design was the job for me. So I quit my career in advertising, moved to the Lake District - another love of mine - and retrained as an interior designer.

Now living in Kendal and fully qualified with The British Academy of Interior Design, I’ve launched Chez Baker*, offering homeowners in Cumbria and the North West the opportunity to bring joy to their homes.

Whether it’s finding a colour scheme that feels totally ‘you’, reconfiguring spaces to reveal their hidden potential, finding a design both you and your partner love, or fast-tracking the entire process due to being time-poor yourself, there’s nothing I enjoy more than getting to the root of what you’re looking for…then surprising you with a design that surpasses your expectations.

If you want to work with an interior designer who understands your interior quandaries, who taps into your personality to create a home that not just reflects but celebrates who you are, I can’t wait to hear from you.

*Chez (pronounced ‘Shey’) French, meaning ‘at the home of’

“Sarah's attention to detail and talent is evident not just in her designs, but in the finishing touches which completely transform a room”

★★★★★

“Sarah redesigned our living room, hallway, and two bedrooms for us. The process was amazing - from initial discussions which really made us think about what look we were wanting to achieve, to seeing Sarah's designs come to life via mood boards and 3D visuals, Sarah guided us step by step with her brilliant creativity and expert knowledge.  

We’d wanted to change the feel of our house for some time and Sarah completely captured the look that we were after, but weren't sure how to achieve ourselves. Sarah's attention to detail and talent is evident not just in her designs, but in the finishing touches which completely transform a room. We’re delighted with the professional service she provided to us and could not be more house proud. We would highly recommend her!”
