Interior Designer - Mum - Dog Mum - Novice Tennis Player

Hi, I’m Emma

I’m the founder and Creative Director of A Bit of Eye Candy, and for the past 24 years I’ve been helping homeowners create beautiful, practical interiors that truly reflect their personality and lifestyle.

Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects, from show homes for property developers and boutique hotel renovations to listed farmhouse refurbishments and, most importantly, helping homeowners transform their homes. Whether it’s refreshing a single room or redesigning an entire house, I love creating spaces that feel unique, welcoming and tailored to the people who live in them.

My signature style combines colour, pattern and texture with creative thinking and attention to detail. I believe every home should tell a story, and I’m always looking for ways to introduce unexpected touches that make a space feel special and personal.

My work has been featured in leading interiors magazines including House Beautiful, 25 Beautiful Homes and Real Homes, and I have twice been named a finalist in the prestigious Northern Design Awards for both a boutique hotel project and a listed farmhouse renovation.

What I’m most proud of, however, is the reputation I’ve built for providing a friendly, approachable service and helping clients achieve their dream homes on time and within budget. Many of my clients return when they move house or start a new project, and much of my work comes through recommendations from happy customers.

I’d love to help you create a home you’ll love for years to come.

Hi I’m Kasia

I’m originally from Poland and came to UK to do my Interior Design degree. I stayed and have been here for 19 years! I’ve been working with Emma for past 11 years creating beautiful interiors and totally enjoying my work.

I love art, nature, good food, sipping cocktails on the beach and travel. It’s certainly gives me lots of inspiration when working with our Eyecandy clients.

In my free time I hike, paint and learn Italian. My dream is to have a little country home with a sea view and a garden full of my home grown fruit and veg!
