How it works
I work from home. Newchurch, Romney Marsh to be exact. I have no showroom, but the pictures on my site are all mine, of jobs I've done. There's no pressure, just a friendly chat about what you want. I'm happy to supply fabrics for your pelmets, blinds or cushions, all made to measure and fitted in your home. I'm equally happy to alter your existing items.

The maker
Made by hand, by Lavina.
I've always had a creative passion for interiors. From studying Art at O Level at school to enjoying the process of combining fabrics, colours and paint, I've always loved transforming spaces into something beautiful and personal.
After the birth of my twins, I wanted a career that would allow me to balance family life while doing something I truly enjoyed. I started Lavina's Interiors with my mum, an experienced seamstress whose skills and support helped build the business from the very beginning. Although Mum has now retired, I continue to work from my purpose-built studio in the heart of Kent.
Over the years, I've been fortunate to meet so many wonderful clients, many of whom have become friends. Every new project is different, and I still get just as excited about helping clients choose the perfect fabrics, colours and finishes to create a home they love.
