I'm the founder and interior designer at Roxana Rahaman Design based in Shepperton, Surrey, and I help people create homes that feel genuinely, unmistakably theirs.
I came to interior design after 18+ years in marketing, a career I loved, until I didn't. What brought me to the door of a new one was something much simpler: an unexpected, ongoing enjoyment of my own home. The satisfaction of a freshly painted room. The thrill of a vintage room divider find at an antique fair that somehow pulls an entire space together. The realisation that how you live in your home really matters, and that I wanted to help other people feel that too.
So I retrained. I completed a Level 3 Diploma in Professional Interior Design, became a professional member of The Interior Designers Hub, and I haven't looked back.
Hello, I’m Roxana.
My Approach
"I don't have a signature style - and that's entirely the point."
I'm not the designer who'll hand you a design that looks like everyone else's.I'm drawn to vintage markets, independent shops, Facebook Marketplace finds, the high street, and the occasional splurge - often all in the same room. What I care about is the mix: how things sit together, what they say about the person who lives there, and whether it all feels considered and carefully chosen.
My approach is led by you, primarily, with consideration for your home’s environment. The brief is to make your home feel like you - more personal, more alive, more you. I'll bring the metallic lamp and the floral curtain and the mid-century armchair into conversation with whatever you already own and love, and we'll make something that works
Why my background matters
Eighteen years in marketing taught me things that make me, I think, a better designer. I know how to really listen to a brief and how to spot the gap between what someone says they want and what they actually mean. I've led cross-functional projects, managed creative teams, worked to tight timelines, delivered brilliant brand work, and kept the customer at the heart of every decision.
All of that translates directly. I won't over-complicate things. I'll be clear about what I'm doing and why. And I'll get it done.
Work with me
If any of this sounds like the right fit, I'd love to hear about your project. The first step is just a conversation.
