Carmen - Interior Design Guru
When it comes to transforming spaces, Carmen is the one who makes it look easy. After honing her skills at the London College of Fashion, she led an exhilarating 18-year career in the fashion industry, collaborating with renowned clothing brands. But her passion didn't stop at fashion! The allure of interior design beckoned, leading her to an equally fulfilling chapter in home styling and design. With 18 years home decor experience under her (very stylish) belt, Carmen is here to share her fabulous knowledge. When she’s not sourcing our latest eclectic products or tracking the latest home trends, Carmen can be found poring over paperwork - because someone has to keep track of our deliveries!

Trevor - Sales Ninja
If you want a good chat about which of our products have featured in what film or programme, Trevor’s your guy. He’s the voice behind our friendly advice and the banter behind our till. With his encyclopedic product knowledge and fabulous people skills, Trevor will always point you in the right direction. You’ll come looking for a simple cushion and leave with a brand new lounge chair, or you could absolutely hate green and he’ll wow you with a fabulous emerald carpet. That’s the Trevor effect!

Our resident tech guru, website wizard and self-proclaimed Oscar Wilde of Instagram captions, she keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, from keeping our website up to date with the latest goodies through to coming up with the latest blog topic.
