The Art of Effortless British Living
Timeless interiors, thoughtfully designed to reflect your values, your life, and your sense of style — across Cheltenham, the Cotswolds, and beyond.
At The House Ministry, we work with clients who want elegant, practical homes — without the stress of managing trades, endless decisions, or costly compromises.
We lead every element of your project, from concept to completion, through a structured, design-led process that delivers exceptional results — with clarity, calm, and confidence.
Julia and her team are creative, responsive and uber-professional – managing everything seamlessly. Excellent combination of design know-how, creativity and superb project management and commercial skills. We highly recommend them.
Homes That Work as Beautifully as They Look
We create homes that are elegant, practical, and unmistakably yours.
Our interiors balance clarity with character, and are designed to feel intentional, liveable, and in tune with your lifestyle. Every element is considered — proportion, flow, storage, light, texture, and function.
Whether it’s a main residence, second home, or family retreat, the result always elevates the everyday — without ever demanding attention.
A Clear, End-to-End Process — From First Ideas to Final Styling
Designing a home is complex — but it doesn’t need to feel that way.
We lead each project through a clear six-step process, guiding every decision from layouts and lighting to furniture, finishes, and final styling.
You stay informed and in control, without the pressure of managing trades, chasing details, or second-guessing decisions.
It’s a calm, structured experience — designed to protect your time, your investment, and the integrity of the finished home.
What Our Clients Value Most
Every project is different — but our clients tend to want the same things — a beautifully designed home, delivered without stress.
Some feel overwhelmed by decisions. Others don’t have the time or headspace to bring everything together. Some are starting fresh in a new home.
What they all share is a desire for clarity, trust, and a partner who can lead every step. That’s what we provide — so they can enjoy the process as much as the result.
Before They Work With Us, Clients Often Say Things Like…
“I know what I like but I didn’t have the time or creative flair to bring it all together.”
“We moved in to an Open Plan, new-build and realised we had no idea how to furnish it.”
“We wanted a grown-up, whole-home design — but didn’t know where to start.”
“We were new to the area and need help with a full renovation — including contacts, coordination and a complete change of aesthetic.”
“We were afraid of making expensive mistakes and getting it wrong.”
“We weren’t local and didn’t have the time or headspace to deal with all the details.”
See How It All Comes together
Every project begins differently — but what they all share is a clear process, careful delivery, and a home that feels calm, tailored, and beautifully finished.
Here are a few recent transformations — each one designed and delivered by The House Ministry, from first ideas to final styling.

A modernised lounge in a late 20th-century Cotswold home — with a striking transformation of a dated fireplace into a calm, architectural focal point.
A Relaxed, Characterful Period Family Home near Gloucester
A warm, Soho House–inspired retreat and a calm, versatile bedroom — designed to reflect the family’s style, preferences, and way of living.
