Business Owner & Senior Decorator

With a degree in music and a career as a professional saxophonist, the challenges of the 2020 pandemic led me to reassess my line of work. Faced with limited live music opportunities, I decided to redirect my creativity and started training as a painter and decorator. I quickly fell in love with the profession and soon founded Sarah Hughes Decor.

My journey into painting and decorating has blossomed into a passion for transforming homes and bringing customers' visions to life. As a proud female business owner in a male dominated industry, seeing the growing presence of women amongst us is a source of both personal and professional fulfillment.

Outside of work you will often find me rock climbing in the Peak District with my husband and friends; it is what drew us to relocate to Buxton and remains to be my favourite way to unwind after a week of hard labour!

Project Manager

Hello, I’m Leanne! My professional journey started in artisan bread baking and patisserie, shaping me into a perfectionist always eager to add that extra touch. I’m dedicated to going the extra mile to transform your home into something truly special.

Panting and decorating is the perfect way to express my creative side but also my love for bringing ideas to life. The transformation of a home is unique and I always enjoy being part of such a personal change.

Outside of work you’ll find me whipping up delicious cakes, crafting or renovating my own home!

Senior Decorator

I have always been creative minded and have a degree in Graphic Design. I am a vibrant and colourful person and believe life is a beautiful pallet of what you choose it to be. That is the vision I want to create for people in their homes.

I am a mum to two beautiful children and they inspire me to strive to be the best role model. I want to show them that they can be anything they want to be, and I hope I demonstrate that by persuing being a decorator in a male dominated environment.

I am also an avid phtogrpher and develop my own photographs, love hiking and cave exploration… after the all my time is spent with my children teaching them all I can with any energy I have left!

I’m the newest and youngest member of the team, with a background in the jewellery industry where attention to detail was key. Creativity has always been a part of my life—my dad’s an artist, and that’s definitely influenced my passion for design. Joining Sarah Hughes Decor allows me to channel that love for creativity into transforming homes.

Outside of work, I enjoy getting outdoors for long walks and love the challenge of a good jigsaw puzzle. It’s all about finding beauty in the small things, both in my work and in my downtime.
