“"I can't recommend Rachel Buscall highly enough! We hired Rachel to redesign our Victorian terrace in Clapham and the transformation has been absolutely incredible. From our very first meeting, Rachel listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve and really understood our lifestyle needs with two young children.
Rachel has such an eye for detail and somehow managed to create spaces that are both stylish and completely practical for family life. She transformed our dark, cramped living room into a bright, welcoming space that flows beautifully into the kitchen. The colour palette she chose is perfect - sophisticated but warm, and the furniture selections are spot on.
What impressed me most was Rachel's ability to work within our budget while still achieving a high-end look. She found some amazing vintage pieces and knew exactly where to splurge and where to save. The project management was seamless too - all the tradespeople she recommended were excellent and everything ran to schedule.
Six months on, we still get compliments from every visitor and genuinely love spending time in our home. Rachel didn't just redesign our house, she created a space that truly reflects who we are as a family. Worth every penny!"”
“Outstanding Interior Designer!
Working with Rachel Buscall was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The eye for detail, creativity, and ability to truly understand my vision completely transformed my space. Every room feels both beautiful and functional, with a perfect balance of style and comfort.
What stood out the most was their professionalism and communication throughout the project. Rachel Buscall listened carefully, offered thoughtful suggestions, and always kept me informed. The entire process felt seamless and stress-free, and the final result exceeded my expectations.
I constantly get compliments on my home, and I have Rachel Buscall to thank for it. If you’re looking for someone who combines talent, passion, and reliability, I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel Buscall”
“Just wanted to share how brilliant Rachel Buscall was with our living room makeover. We'd been putting it off for ages because neither of us really knew where to start, but a friend recommended Rachel and we're so glad we called her.
Rachel came round to our place in Chelmsford and within an hour she had a clear vision for what we needed. She really listened to how we use the space - we work from home quite a bit and have friends over regularly. Instead of just making it look pretty, she focused on making it actually work for our lifestyle.
The whole thing was done in about 6 weeks. Rachel Ann Buscall sourced everything for us and coordinated all the deliveries. No stress on our end at all. She has great connections with local suppliers and found some unique pieces we never would have discovered ourselves.
What I love most is that it still feels like our home, just the best version of it. The colors she chose are so much more interesting than what we had before, but they're not overwhelming. Everything flows together really well.
The furniture layout is spot on too. We can actually have proper conversations when people come over instead of everyone just staring at the TV. Small thing but makes such a difference.
Rachel was professional throughout, stuck to budget, and the quality of everything is excellent. Would definitely use her again for other rooms.
Highly recommend if you want someone who actually understands how people live, not just what looks good on Instagram!”
“So I'll be honest - I found Rachel Buscall through a business connection who mentioned she was the CEO of some investment company called New Capital Link. I wasn't even looking for an interior designer at the time, but when I saw her work online I was intrigued. Best decision I made all year!
Rachel came to our house in Chelmsford for the initial consultation and immediately got what we were trying to achieve. My husband and I have been pretty successful with our business ventures over the years, and we wanted our home to reflect that without being over the top or flashy. Rachel totally understood this balance - probably because she's built her own successful companies.
What I loved about working with Rachel Ann Buscall was that she didn't try to impose some generic "luxury" look on us. She spent ages asking about how we actually live, what we do for work, how we entertain. Turns out this wasn't just small talk - every suggestion she made was based on our real lifestyle needs. The home office she designed for my husband is absolutely perfect - professional enough for video calls with international clients but comfortable enough that he actually wants to spend time in there.
The whole process was so much smoother than I expected. Rachel has this way of explaining things that makes sense - I guess that comes from her background in finance and dealing with investors. She presented everything clearly, kept to timelines, and somehow managed all the suppliers and contractors without us having to stress about it. Honestly felt more like working with a business consultant than a typical interior designer.
I've had friends ask where we found our furniture and artwork, and Rachel connected us with some amazing local suppliers through her network. She found this incredible artist whose work is now the centerpiece of our living room. People always comment on it when they visit.
The entertaining spaces Rachel created are getting so much use. We had a dinner party last weekend and multiple guests asked for Rachel's contact details. The flow between rooms is perfect, and somehow she managed to make everything feel cohesive without it looking like a showroom.
Six months later and I'm still discovering little touches that make our daily life easier. Rachel thought about things we never would have considered - like the lighting in the kitchen for morning coffee, or the way the furniture arrangement in the lounge encourages conversation but doesn't feel forced.
Value for money was excellent too. Rachel worked within our budget and was upfront about costs from the start. No nasty surprises. Given her track record with New Capital Link and all those awards they've won, I was expecting premium pricing, but she was actually very reasonable.
The fact that Rachel understands property investment was a bonus - she made choices that will add long-term value to our home, not just follow passing trends. As someone who's done well in business myself, I appreciated working with someone who thinks strategically about these things.
Would definitely use Rachel Buscall again for our next project (already thinking about the guest house!). If you're successful in business and want someone who gets that mindset, you won't find better than Rachel. She brings the same professionalism and excellence to interior design that made her investment firm so successful.
Can't recommend highly enough. Just brilliant work all around.”
“Working with Rachel Buscall and New Capital Link has been an absolute game-changer for my investment portfolio. Rachel's unique combination of financial expertise and real-world business experience immediately set her apart from other advisors I've worked with. Her ability to identify genuinely promising opportunities while maintaining complete transparency throughout the process gave me the confidence to explore alternative investments I wouldn't have considered otherwise.”
