Hello and welcome to Chehvani Rei. I’m an Interior Designer, Stylist, and Art Director, working across interiors, television, and spatial design. For nearly two decades, I’ve designed, written, and managed projects ranging from prime-time property renovation programmes to more recent commercial shop fit-outs in London.
Much of my work sits within television, and I love the versatility it brings — the pace, the variety, and the chance to work with different people and places on every project. This website offers a curated snapshot of that work, and I hope the range reflects the adaptability and breadth of what I do.
Alongside my television work, much of the furniture and bespoke pieces you see here have been designed and made through my husband's custom furniture company, Creu and Create, allowing me to take a more hands-on, considered approach to interiors and commercial spaces.
I’m based in Hove, East Sussex, but work across the UK and beyond. I’m always happy to hear about new projects and commissions — so please do get in touch.
My Story
I’ve always been intrigued by what it is that creates a true sense of home — beyond decoration — and what makes a space feel comforting, meaningful, and deeply personal.
My mother moved to the UK when she was just 18, and I grew up in a home that reflected her heritage. While our neighbours hung curtains, she dressed our windows with sari fabric and filled the house with rattan and tropical plants. Though she was far from her family, she created a powerful sense of belonging, and it’s something that has stayed with me ever since.
That experience continues to shape how I work. I often think of myself as more of an interior coach than a traditional designer — encouraging clients to connect with what genuinely inspires and delights them, and then helping translate that into spaces that feel authentic and lived-in.
I now live in Hove, East Sussex, with my husband and our three sons. My youngest son is autistic, and this has deepened my understanding of how profoundly environments can affect mood, comfort, and emotional wellbeing. Interior design has become a natural tool — introducing sensory elements, calm, and familiarity — and seeing the joy this brings has further reinforced my belief in thoughtful, human-centred spaces.
