HOW THE LIVING HOUSE CAME TO BE:

Our Story Begins…

2018
Our story began as three creative friends who worked together as interior designers for a large retailer. We loved what we did, it was our passion, and it was so rewarding helping people to transform their homes. However we would often question whether interior design was stuck in the past, with an elitist image, and high price tag. We could identify with customers who felt daunted by the idea of interior design, but equally wanted a beautiful family home. They wanted a home to be proud of, but to a more modest budget. The three of us were constantly being asked for help and advice on all things home by friends and family - and yet these were also the very people that would never consider hiring an interior designer. It was suddenly clear to us that people wanted guidance, but not the high costs or stuffiness associated with traditional interior design.

2020
Around the same time, Covid entered our lives - we all went into lockdown, people’s shopping habits changed and online shopping and zoom calls became our new normal. Sadly our beautiful flagship high street store closed it’s doors forever and our roles as Home Designers came to an end. But this also presented us with an opportunity. The kernel of an idea started to grow and we looked at how we could bring our 30 years combined experience and passion for interiors to more people.

So we got to work and created a different concept for interior design, with our core values being easy, online and within your budget!

We Believe Design Should Be:

Every family deserves a home that's beautiful, practical, and completely theirs. Not a showroom. Not a Pinterest board that looks nothing like real life. A home that actually works for the way your family lives, muddy boots and all.
Interior design can feel like something reserved for other people, bigger budgets, more time. We don't think it should be. Our whole reason for being is to make expert design support genuinely accessible, so you can stop putting it off and start loving your home.
We work entirely online, which means great design fits around school runs, packed schedules, and everything else life throws at you. We take the endless searching, second-guessing, and decision fatigue off your plate entirely, and replace it with a clear, considered plan you can actually shop from and follow with confidence.
No more late-night rabbit holes. Just a design that works.
A beautiful room that doesn't function for your family isn't really beautiful at all. Everything we create is designed around how you actually live, not just how a space looks in a photo. Calm, cohesive, easy to keep on top of, and genuinely enjoyable to be in. That's what good design feels like.
When your home works properly, day-to-day life just feels better. Calmer mornings, less clutter stress, rooms you're actually glad to come home to. That's the difference a well-considered design makes, and it's exactly what we're here to help you create.
