I am a designer by trade so when I saw a shop with something they called a 'design workshop' inside I was intrigued and had to go inside. What's strikes you is that that they do sell a lovely selection of homeware, not to my taste necessarily, more for the middle-aged yaught owners wife, but I'm sure they have a plethora of work that I didn't get to see from one trip into their store.
There is a retail side to the business and you can buy things like wall paper, plants, tins of paint, contemporary light fitting and cushions they also have an incredible range of fabric.
But I got the feeling that their speciality was designing homes for people, homes that people would really love. Apparently you make the desicion about how you want your home and they can make it happen (No Laurence Llewelyn Bowen Changing Rooms style fiascos here). From one visit I got the impression that they can deliver you the totally redesigned space you want, from just observing their attention to detail in the fixtures and fittings they sold. A lovely interior design
company.
I still never found that workshop though. read more
