  • 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 & 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!
