Welcome to the first blog post from The Orange Tree – a small family-run lifestyle & interiors store in East London that is also online at www.orangetreedirect.co.uk.
I’m Rachel the owner and together with my fabulously dedicated team – Mandy, Frankie and Rose - have a passion for creating unusual and chic interiors with our clients using the stylish design-orientated brands that we stock such as Designers Guild, Cole & Son and Sanderson.
My background is in art, advertising and jewellery design so just love looking out for new talented designers we can feature at The Orange Tree! Mandy is a trained interior designer with a wonderful eye for pulling together inspiring interiors schemes. In the four years since we took over The Orange Tree we have seen our take on quirky lifestyle and contemporary modern living go from strength to strength. We believe we are where we are because of our hard work and commitment to provide a a great shopping experience with friendly and excellent service, and quality designs. Our aim is to help customers create a home that’s homely and unique, not a soulless showhome!
To this end we source unusual home accessories from small design companies that are predominantly London-based, and love mixing textures and bright colours from the likes of Cath Kidston, Lush Designs and Avoca Ireland textiles with our vintage finds and contemporary pieces. If you’re a local designer/maker in East London we’d particularly like to hear from you at shop@orangetreedirect.co.uk.
So that's us. We will regularly post some news so please come back or write to us.
Rachel
