Our Story · House of Hush

House of Hush was born from a love of home. Not simply how a home looks, but how it makes us feel.

The rooms we grow up in. The furniture we remember. The little details that become part of our everyday lives and, eventually, our fondest memories.

We believe a home should be more than beautifully decorated. It should tell a story, reflect the people who live within it and feel entirely their own.

Founded by Henrietta and Juliet, House of Hush brings together a shared love of art, interiors and traditional craftsmanship, creating thoughtful, individual pieces with character, imagination and a little unexpected charm.

Inspired by the English countryside, the changing seasons and the beauty of things made by hand, our work is rooted in nostalgia but designed for the way we live today.

From a hand-painted headboard to a child’s bedroom filled with wonder, each piece is created with the hope that it will become part of someone’s story.

Something to live with, love and treasure as an heirloom.

Craftsmanship

Traditional in its making

We work with natural linen, fabric paints and paper templates. Characters are drawn in pencil, cut out at full size and tried on the wall before anything is painted. Upholstery is done by hand, one piece at a time.

The House of Hush feeling

A home that doesn’t try too hard

A home filled with collected treasures, familiar comforts, beautiful fabrics and pieces that have a story to tell. The afternoon light falling across a bedroom. A child discovering something magical painted on their wall. The familiar creak of an old floorboard. A favourite chair beside the fire.

Our style is distinctly English, gently nostalgic and quietly playful. Traditional in its craftsmanship, yet fresh and unexpected in its expression.

Never overly polished.
Never mass-produced.
Never simply following a trend.

Just beautifully considered pieces, made with care, designed to feel as though they have always belonged.

Our ambition

We don’t aspire to fill homes with more things. We aspire to create the pieces that matter.

A studio known for imagination, integrity and a little unexpected charm, working closely with private clients, interior designers and beautiful spaces.
