The finishing touches made to a home are what really make it a home.
We popped in to Top Drawer at London Olympia earlier this year to look at many, many of those finishing touches. The event showcase designers and makers of home accessories, clothing, artwork, and more, and is visited by buyers for shops and outlets across the UK.. The reach of the event is underlined by the presence, for example, of a Japanese sock making company (more than one, in fact, as we think we saw another as we paced the lengthy alleyways of Top Drawer).
We project manage by helping our clients visualise the outcome of a new build or renovation. How will the home look, feel, and work? What details will make it perfect and mean that their dreams are realised? It is not for nothing that from the earliest consultation we draw up a wish list of how things should be and strive to deliver on that wish list as closely as possible.
Talking of lists, at Top Drawer 2025 the Museums & Galleries section captured some of the most iconic designs in history, from famed artists to famed interior designers, and periods from Renaissance and Art Deo and Art Nouveau, and artwork, cards, calendars, and wrapping paper that is sold in some of the most celebrated destinations owned by English Heritage, the National Trust, and independently.
Heritage on tap, and on shelves.
Colourful, stunning, and humorous.
Cheeky and memorable. By Brut.

Fun light options from Amber Bright Creations.
Why shouldn’t a wish list include how a place smells? We like to think of everything.

The only problem you might find with Top Drawer is that it isn’t an event for everyone, but for industry professionals like ourselves, and especially buyers. However, the public can certainly get in touch with us and benefit from our insights and expertise, and hear about the latest trends we have picked up from this event and other fascinating behind-closed-doors opportunities.
