About Us

With over 20 years’ experience in the property industry, Claire Halstead brings a deep understanding of how homes work – not just how they look. Now the founder and creative force behind Claire Halstead Interiors, she has built a reputation for designing refined, functional family homes that balance timeless style with everyday practicality.

Claire’s interiors are defined by her distinctive eye for detail, calm neutral palettes, and thoughtful layouts that solve problems before they arise. She is passionate about creating spaces that are not only beautiful, but that truly work for the families who live in them.

As a mother of two young daughters, Claire instinctively understands the demands of family life. With regular visits from extended family, a busy household, and a countryside lifestyle, she designs with real life in mind – always considering durability, practicality and the need for relaxed yet elegant entertaining.

Since launching Claire Halstead Interiors, Claire has naturally attracted a growing portfolio of clients with similar lifestyles – families with young children, grown-up children returning home, dogs in tow, and the desire to create warm, welcoming homes that stand up to everyday life while still feeling stylish and considered.

Our niche lies in designing family homes in the countryside – with interiors that reflect how people actually live. Whether you’re renovating a forever home, extending a kitchen for entertaining, or refreshing tired rooms after a move, we deliver thoughtful, tailored design solutions with clarity, efficiency, and creativity.

Professionalism and personal service are at the core of everything we do. Most of our work comes through client referrals – a reflection of the strong relationships and trust we build throughout each project. Claire works closely with a network of skilled local partners including Butler Sherborn, Cotswold Kitchens, and Splendid Interiors to ensure a seamless and high-quality experience from start to finish.

We believe your home should be an authentic expression of who you are – and that it should evolve with you over time. A house is never truly finished, and that’s exactly what makes it special.
