Our friends at AttikoArt are a mother and daughter duo, Michelle and Melissa, who create stunning abstract and landscape art prints.

Meggy & Me

Meggy & Me was founded by Leah during her maternity leave with her daughter, Meggy. She embraced the opportunity to turn her passion into a business, and we absolutely love it! Their goal is to offer a curated mix of beautiful cushions, drawing inspiration from the seasons, culture, nature, and texture. Their collection is truly stunning, and we often incorporate their cushions into our customers' design schemes. The cushions are perfect for achieving a transitional and lived-in look. One of our personal favorites is the Ikat neutral cushion, it pairs effortlessly with other patterns like stripes and checks. Whether you're looking to refresh your living room or add a cosy touch to your bedroom, Meggy & Me's cushions are sure to elevate your space.

Secret Linen Store

Secret Linen Store was founded in 2013 by two sisters, Molly and Harriet. We love that they are not only a female founded business but also a sister duo. Their collection features beautiful and luxurious bed linen at fair prices, along with a range of other gorgeous products. Their linen curtains, for example, offer a relaxed and laid back look. One of our favourites is their olive green twill cotton linen curtains. If you’re on the lookout for quality bedding, look no further!

Totter + Tumble

Totter + Tumble was founded by Susie, who couldn't find a playmat for her daughter that was both safe and stylish. That’s when Totter + Tumble was born, built on the principles of being simple, stylish, supportive, and safe. Their collection features a beautiful range of playmats that blend effortlessly with your home decor. One collection we’re especially fond of is the Morris & Co. range, which offers so many gorgeous designs to choose from, perfect if your home has a traditional style.

Frenchic

Frenchic was founded by Pam in 2014, starting from her dining table. She set out to create an eco-friendly paint that was certified safe enough for children's toys, didn’t bubble or lift, contained minimal VOCs, and could be used both indoors and outdoors. We love recommending Frenchic to our customers who want to upcycle their existing furniture, and we’ve even used it in our own homes! Frenchic is a fantastic product that is easy to use and can completely transform a piece of furniture. Catherine has painted many items in her home using the colour Blackjack, such as a coffee table and lamp bases, while Sophie used the shade Stone Rosie to transform her downstairs loo. If you're looking to upcycle a piece of furniture or even refresh your kitchen cupboards, Frenchic is the perfect product!

Ellenvale Interiors

Ellenvale Interiors was founded in 2021 by Annie Johnson. Not only was it a business venture for Annie, but it was also a passion project, driven by her desire to blend the timeless charm of English country design with the modern aesthetics of today. Ellenvale Interiors offers a wide range of beautiful cushions, featuring scallop edging, frills, patterns, textures, and more! Sophie recently purchased three of their cushions to style her bed, and they work seamlessly with her transitional master bedroom. They offer a variety of sizes and feather filled inserts (which we always recommend for full and plump cushions). If you're on the hunt for affordable yet stylish cushions, explore their beautiful collection.

Brown and Ginger

Brown and Ginger was founded by Jo and Amelia, who are childhood friends (what a lovely story!). Brown and Ginger share in their story that they curate beautiful, elegant, sometimes bonkers, and fiercely bold pieces to enhance your home. We recently used their vintage style gold cabinet in a customer’s open plan kitchen/dining room, and it worked perfectly to add personality and a vintage touch to the space. Whether you’re looking to add quirky furniture pieces to your home or accessories to complete a room, Brown and Ginger has a fabulous range!

Ruggable

Ruggable was founded by Jeneva Bell, and it all started at the kitchen table. It took years of development to create the original Ruggable machine washable rug. As Ruggable shares in their story, the rug had to be just right and the perfect washable option for homes where life comes first. At The Living House, we LOVE rugs! We believe they complete a room, and since we design for families, Ruggable is a perfect match for us with their beautiful designs and the practicality of being able to simply wash your rug in your washing machine. Becky recently purchased the gorgeous Sarrah Sage Rug for her open plan kitchen/living room, and she can confirm it is truly beautiful! If you haven’t checked out Ruggable yet, do it now!

Rockett St George

Rockett St George was founded in 2007 by working mums Jane Rockett and Lucy St George. They wanted to create a homeware store that was unique and broke free from the offerings of chain stores, and they certainly have! If you’re on the hunt for something unique that will express your personality, Rockett St George is the place for you. Whether it’s as quirky as a cowgirl boot vase or eclectic artwork that makes you smile, you’ll find it there.
