‘We were renovating the small bathroom in our rental property. Veronica designed the space, selected all the sanitaryware and tiles and managed her building team. It was one of the easiest renovations and we would use the service again’.

about
The Handy Home Stylist
The Handy Home Stylist is a London based interior design studio founded by creative director Veronica Lucey, who has over a decade of experience in the design industry. After 15 years of working at some of the UK’s top advertising agencies, Veronica decided to change career and follow her passion for interior design. In 2011 she set up an interior design partnership and has designed and project managed many large-scale renovation projects in London and the South East, including several of her own.
In 2023 she launched The Handy Home Stylist, to offer those clients with smaller projects, access to a more affordable, flexible and uncomplicated design service. The studio provides a one stop solution to these often multi disciplined ongoing projects.

‘I needed help with my first property purchase as I didn’t have time to organise anything once I moved in. Everything was taken off my hands organising various small jobs that urgently needed doing, to give me time to work out my future renovation of the property.’

‘Veronica helped me hugely with a new house purchase. Sourcing fabric I had only seen in Spain once and purchasing sofas and accessories. We would use her services again and I would thoroughly recommend the service as Veronica has a brilliant eye for things’

‘We employed the handy home stylist to completely overhaul and renovate our rental flat. Veronica has an excellent eye for colour and is full of great ideas. She really helped with problem solving particularly with areas of the flat that required thinking outside the box. We are so pleased with the result and secured a long-term rental immediately.’
