Room designs, ready to download
Quiet luxury with a rustic soul: calm, timeless rooms in honest, matt materials.
How room in a box works
Every design is a download from Etsy, to work through in your own time. There are no calls, no forms and no waiting.
Browse the room designs and choose the one that feels like home: a living room, bedroom, kitchen or more, each created in the studio’s rustic luxury style and directed by Rachel.
Your design downloads straight after checkout on Etsy: the concept board, the visuals, the layout, the colour, finishes and lighting plan, and the shopping list, all yours to keep.
Follow the layout and the shopping list, with direct links for UK and US homes, sourced ethically where it matters. Room Ambience comes with one photorealistic visual, and Sunday Signature and Home Ambience with photorealistic visuals of the whole finished design. From there, it is yours to bring to life, at your own pace, and your guests will swear you designed it yourself.
The designs work in homes across the UK and the US, and every one is directed and personally approved by Rachel Hannah, our founder and creative director.
Sunday Signature and Home Ambience add further photorealistic visuals, a pre-recorded walk-through with Rachel and Classical Feng Shui guidance.

Sustainability at its heart
Every design is made to begin with what you already own. A well-loved piece or an overlooked layout often holds more potential than it is given credit for. Most rooms are better served by thoughtful rearrangement than by wholesale replacement. Knowing which pieces earn their place, which simply need repositioning and which are no longer working is a matter of judgement, and it is where the most meaningful savings are made, long before anything new is bought.
When something new is needed, we recommend it with care. Every suggestion is checked against recognised standards, FSC-certified timber where available, OEKO-TEX fabrics and low-VOC paints, at the time each list is put together. Sourcing well-made pieces takes time and knowledge, and it is work the studio does for you.
We will never recommend replacing a perfectly good room for the sake of change. We believe good design should endure well beyond this year’s colour or this season’s fashion, and that belief shapes every choice we make. The studio favours local makers where it can, to reduce the distance each piece travels, and everything is chosen for how it will feel in ten years’ time as well as how it looks today.
A home should be a healthy place to breathe. Every shopping list marks the low-tox choices for paint, carpet, fabric, furniture and even candles: low-VOC and natural paints, natural fibres, solid wood with natural finishes, and beeswax or plant wax in place of paraffin. It comes with every package, and each choice is checked against a recognised standard wherever one exists.

Rachel Hannah Gee
Founder & Creative Director
About Rachel Hannah Gee, Interior Designer
Sunday Ambience is a founder-led online design studio specialising in rustic luxury interiors. Our founder and creative director, Rachel Hannah, named the studio after the way a home feels on a slow Sunday morning: unhurried, soft and entirely your own. That feeling is the brief for every room we design.
Rustic luxury is the one look the studio is built around: honest, matt materials, rustic warmth, generous empty space, and fewer but better pieces. Nothing shiny, glossy or flashy. You may have heard it called luxe rustic or rustic luxe, and its spirit is one of quiet luxury, understated and never in a hurry to impress.
It is a timeless look, neither a trend nor a mix of styles: natural wood, limewashed plaster, stone and linen, and an appreciation of things that are aged, handmade and a little imperfect. It sits as comfortably in a British period home or a country cottage as it does in a new build. If you love modern farmhouse or modern rustic interiors, your design can lean that way, with the same oak, stone and beams, finished with a calmer, more edited hand.
We are based in Wales and design for homes throughout the UK and the US. Our approach remains the same whatever the project: begin with what you already own, buy less, and choose pieces that will still earn their place in ten years. Natural materials are used wherever they suit the room, and sustainable sourcing is a matter of course.
Rachel sets the creative direction for every design and personally approves it before it is released. Everything is a download, so that you have the design, the lists and the confidence to bring it to life yourself.
Room in a box FAQs
Each design is ready-made and sold as a download on Etsy. You choose the room that feels like home, check out, and the design downloads straight away: a concept board, photorealistic visuals, a layout drawn to scale, a colour, finishes and lighting plan and a clickable shopping list, each one directed and approved by Rachel. From there, you order what you wish, when you wish, and bring the room together at your own pace. There are no site visits, no calls and no forms. Sunday Signature and Home Ambience also include a pre-recorded walk-through, in which Rachel takes you through the design, to watch in your own time and as often as you like.
Every design comes with a layout drawn to scale and notes on adapting it to your own room: what to keep the same, what can shift, and how to scale the furniture up or down. The look comes from the palette, the materials, the lighting and the way the pieces sit together, and all of that carries into rooms of different shapes and sizes.
Yes. Everything you receive is digital, so it makes no difference whether your home is in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or the United States. Shopping lists include UK and US options wherever they are available.
Every listing shows the concept board and visuals before you buy, so you can see exactly what the design is. If you are unsure which design suits your room, send a message through Etsy and Rachel will reply personally.
No, and that is deliberate. Your list is clickable, whether for a sofa or a rosemary bush, and every purchase remains yours to make. This allows you to spread the cost over time, plant across a season, or swap in your own pieces along the way.
No. Rented homes, small rooms, dark north-facing rooms and awkward corners are often where careful design makes the greatest difference. Nothing in the designs is structural, so they suit rented homes too: finishes that keep your deposit safe, and pieces that come with you when you move.
Straight away. Each design is an instant download from Etsy, so it is yours as soon as you have checked out.
