Who we are
I’m Charmaine, the interior designer behind Poodle Studio, working across North Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties. I specialise in modern and character‑property interior design through accessible E‑Design packages, Whole Hog full‑service design, and exterior render ideas that bring complete harmony to homes—inside and out.
My approach is rooted in clarity, practicality and beautiful design. Whether you’re refreshing a single room, renovating a character home or planning an extension, I help you create spaces that feel cohesive, stylish and genuinely liveable. I believe modern interiors should feel warm and welcoming, and character homes should be updated sensitively—never stripped of their charm.
Working with homeowners across North Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, I create design solutions that balance aesthetics with everyday function. From layout planning and colour palettes to furniture sourcing and exterior concepts, I support you through every stage of your project with clear visuals, thoughtful guidance and a design process that feels easy, not overwhelming.
If you’re searching for modern interior design, character‑home renovation, E‑Design services or exterior render ideas for extensions, Poodle Studio offers accessible, design‑led solutions that help you transform your home with confidence.
MY BACKGROUND
My career spans textiles, interior architecture and luxury design, shaped by experience with leading studios including Kelly Hoppen, David Collins Studio London, OMA New York, and KZ Textiles India. I hold a degree in Textiles from Goldsmiths University and a Diploma in Interior Design, grounding my work in both technical understanding and creative vision.
Before launching Poodle Studio, I founded my own textile design agency, creating collections sold into luxury brands such as Harrods and Dior. This background in high‑end materials, colour, texture and architectural detailing continues to influence my approach today.
Now, as a busy mum of two young children, I offer accessible, design‑led support to homeowners across North Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire and surrounding counties. I specialise in E‑Design, Whole Hog full‑service interior design, and exterior render concepts that help modern and character homes feel cohesive, stylish and well‑considered—particularly during renovations, extensions and full‑home updates.
My work blends modern clarity with character‑rich detail, always with a focus on practicality, warmth and everyday living. Whether you’re redesigning a single room, refreshing a family home or planning an extension, I help you create spaces that feel balanced, personal and beautifully functional.
If you’re looking for modern interior design, character‑home renovation, E‑Design services or exterior styling ideas, Poodle Studio provides thoughtful, professional and budget‑sensible solutions that bring confidence and clarity to your project.
