Designing for South Oxfordshire homes
The south of the county is a mix of very different places. Henley-on-Thames, Wallingford and Thame have handsome historic centres, with Georgian and Victorian townhouses that reward a careful, detail-led approach. Along the Thames and on the edge of the Chilterns there are larger family houses with gardens running down towards the river or open countryside. Around Didcot, Wantage and Abingdon there are many newer homes, where the opportunity is to add the character and warmth that new builds rarely come with.
Alana designs around the house you have and the way you use it. In an older townhouse that might mean a kitchen that respects the period features while working for modern family life. In a new build it often means a confident palette, statement lighting and hand-picked pieces that give the rooms a story.
Gardens that connect to the house
Many South Oxfordshire homes have gardens with real potential that is not being used. Alana plans outdoor living areas, from fire pits and seating to pool surrounds and planting, alongside the interiors so the two feel like one place. Where the house sits within a conservation area or the Chilterns National Landscape, any outdoor structures that might need consent are flagged early, so you can check with South Oxfordshire or Vale of White Horse District Council first.

Questions from Henley, Abingdon & South Oxfordshire homeowners
Do you work with new-build homes around Didcot and Wantage?+
Yes, and new builds are some of the most rewarding projects. The structure is sound and the rooms are a blank canvas, so the job is adding personality: colour, texture, art, lighting and furniture that make the house feel like yours rather than the show home next door.
Can you design a garden to go with a new kitchen or living room?+
That is exactly what Alana does best. When the garden and the rooms that face it are designed together, materials and colours carry through and the whole ground floor feels bigger and more connected.
