About Us

Meet Lisa

Hi, I'm Lisa, owner, designer and lover of all things bright & cheerful at Ooh How Lovely at Broad Oak Rye. We recently moved to our new larger location, having started out as the brightly coloured shop on the crossroads in Hawkhurst, operating there from March 2019 to September 2023.

I am an experienced interior designer, specialising for several years as a kitchen & bathroom designer, creating interesting and practical spaces for my clients, and helping them to realise their ideas

Pattern and colour are my passion, and I'm here to help you discover yours and to create wonderful spaces to live in and enjoy

From a cushion to upholstery and bespoke curtains, blinds and lampshades, we have a great selection from which to choose

I look forward to meeting you soon

Meet Paula


Introducing the fabulous Paula, who helps me out in the shop, and is a fellow fan of colour, interiors, and all things quirky.


Paula is also the genius behind Cousley Flock, and creates a range of unique treasures which we sell in the shop, inspired by her flock of sheep and herd of alpacas.
