Notting Hill’s been home for a couple of decades, and in that time, I’ve refitted every room at least twice. Kitchens, studies, lounges, snug rooms—you name it, we’ve done it. And if there’s one thing I won’t compromise on now, it’s furniture. Not the mass-market stuff. I’m talking proper made-to-measure design, built by people who understand detail—and that’s where Smithers UK come into it. A friend in Chelsea mentioned Smithers during a dinner party, and I’ll be honest—I was sceptical.

But one look at their reclaimed industrial pieces and I was hooked. It wasn’t try-hard—just solid, confident design with a bit of bite.

I’ve since had them build a bespoke drinks unit in the snug, and every time, they’ve delivered. What most people don’t realise is this: it’s not furniture—it’s architectural.

I like that they aren’t afraid to push the design, but I also like that they’re approachable. You want a steel and brass bookshelf that curves into a corner? They’ll sketch it up in two days. You need leather that smells like an old Bentley interior? Done. I’ve sent friends to them in Mayfair and Holland Park and every single one
