About us

Influenced by the light and airy feel of modern coastal design, our collection has been passionately curated to help turn your house into a haven. Neutral colour palettes which are calm and soothing combine with natural materials for uncomplicated warmth and texture. Helping you create a space to escape the stress and chaos of every day life.
Our style
You could be describe our style as minimalist luxury. A pared back look which encourages a more considered approach to buying for your home. With a dislike of trend chasing fast fashion for the body and home, we design pieces we believe you will love not just today but for years to come too. It's no wonder we are therefore huge fans of the Japanese Wabi Sabi philosophy believing that their is beauty in the uniqueness of a handmade piece, that items improve over time when they have been weathered with life and used. That a slightly distressed look tells a story...
So whether you are starting with a blank canvas or looking for some simple updates, our range is designed to be easily interwoven in to your style. With an elegant yet simple aesthetic, nothing we do will scream for your attention, but instead provide an uncomplicated beauty with which to layer your home.
About our founders
“With an entrepreneurial father I always knew that one day I would want to start my own business, yet it was really a lack of being able to find items that I found desirable which led me to want to fill a gap in the market - that gap being good quality pieces inspired by nature and travel at an affordable price without compromising on quality and style.”
"I am lucky enough to have spent much of my life in Portugal on the Algarvean coast. Soaring cliffs, scalloped bays and golden beaches provide a great sense of relaxation and calm. It's a place I call home and a source of great inspiration for our collection. I truly wanted to try evoke some of the same feelings I get when I'm there. Tranquil and calm. So it's really no surprise that natural materials feature heavily in our collection alongside a colour palette inspired by the great outdoors: soft beiges, muted blues, subtle greens. Never boring when you combine with an abundance of texture! We mix it up for the seasons adding in bolder tones for Autumn and Winter but you will never see attention seeking in your face colours from us or bold garish patterns, its just not our thing."
A family run business, Suzy's husband Paul is a full time partner in the business and their 3 children can often be found at the warehouse during the holidays and weekends, packing orders and restocking shelves.
"Every morning before he sat at his desk, my father would walk around his factory and talk to his team. As the business grew he maintained that closeness to the grass roots. It was an important life lesson for me. Which is why you will see myself and Paul splitting our time between the office and the warehouse and also why your feedback is so important to us, we like to stay close to our customers, its the only way we can gauge how you feel about what we do..so please keep in touch"
Running your own business is certainly not an easy path to take, think many late nights and 7 day working weeks but we are lucky in that we love what we do and we have a truly fabulous team. Its an extension of our family and we are now so glad to welcome you to be a part if it too...
