As the seasons change to cooler days and longer nights, our attention now turns to spending more time inside and creating warm cosy corners in our homes. Adding layers of lighting will bring warmth and add softness to quiet corners, helping to define your living spaces.

These lampshades are perfect way to add interest through texture and print. Albert celebrates the ancient art of hand block printing to create his beautiful nature inspired prints on 100% heavy linen fabric. Add a shade to a floor lamp or table lamps on side tables and sideboards to create pockets of warm light which you can nestle under in your favourite armchair for the evening.

Get cosy, keep lighting levels low by switching off overhead lights and flicking on the lamps!

Emily is our store manager here at Derwent House who brings a wealth of sales and logistical experience to the day to day running of the showroom. Part of her role is keeping the showroom looking fresh by introducing new makers and tending to the visual merchandising of the store which includes regular window display changes.

Emily has a love of interiors and helping clients to pull a scheme together. A self- confessed Farrow & Ball geek who loves to inject colour into a design, she can often be found with a paint chart or colourful swatch book of Romo Linara fabrics close to hand!

As well as a Certification in Colour Consultancy and a Diploma Certification in Interior Design from the My Interior Design School, Emily has masterminded striking renovations of 2 of her family homes, one of which featured in Ideal Home Magazine.

The Solid Wool collection of chairs and tables made from the beautiful fleeces of Herdwick and Welsh Mountain sheep is Emily’s favourite range at the moment. “I love how each piece is unique!” She is caught here taking 5 having a cuppa, reading the monthly copy of the Wildflower magazine perched on the Hembury Chair!

The colours, texture and grain of wood generate warmth, comfort, and relaxation by connecting us with nature. Studies have shown that along with the naturally hypoallergenic qualities of wood, living in home environments using wood lowers stress levels and improves our well-being.

At Derwent house we celebrate great tradition of British craftsmanship and showcase furniture makers that have been selected for their excellence in design whilst demonstrating the skills and respect for the sustainability of the woods and materials used. The result is an exciting curation of wood pieces that are meaningfully designed to last and become the heritage pieces of the future.

Come and see these quality of craftsmanship in person in our showroom and the attention to detail that is applied to finish these truly beautiful pieces for the home.
