UNIQUE DESIGNS, beautifully made.
As seen on the cover of Country Living magazine, October 2024 issue.
Kettle of Fish Designs is a unique type of interiors and gift service with an impressive range of original, desirable products on its virtual shelves. Everything you see here, with the exception of the vintage wares, has been designed and made by me. I work with other UK based makers for my supplies and also offer you the opportunity to collaborate with me to create truly bespoke pieces for your home or for gift giving.
“My favourite shop in the whole world - I have a collection of things dotted around my house that will be treasured for a lifetime.”
I create unique designs for interiors, using a wonderful library of historical photographs, illustrations and artwork. Through digital enhancement, modification and the use of unexpected materials I breathe new life into the images to create a juxtaposition of art and design, perfect for eclectic homes.
Using vintage book illustrations and paintings by renowned artists such as Vermeer, Rembrandt and Van Gogh, I create pieces that re-present these works, incorporating them into art prints, fabrics and home decor that can be unique to you.
Let Kettle of Fish Designs bring a little magic into your home!
These images showcase a variety of special commissions, alongside some beautiful pieces that are currently available in my shop. If you have any questions or need further information about any of these items, please feel free to send me a message and I will be happy to help.
If your tastes are quirky, original, maybe a little unconventional, and you love the thrill of a vintage find, then I’d say you’re in the right place!
