🤍 9 Years of Willow & Olive Interiors 🤍

As I was looking back through old photographs this week, I found myself smiling at just how far this journey has come.

These are just a small selection of the projects I’ve been fortunate enough to work on over the years. There simply isn’t enough room to share them all.

What started as a small dream, selling on eBay and planning to work part-time, has grown into something I could never have imagined.

Today, Willow & Olive Interiors is approaching nearly 4,000 projects throughout Swindon, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and beyond.

From beautiful cottages and country homes to projects in Birmingham, Wales, Norwich and even Chelsea, London, every project has been part of an incredible journey.

Most importantly, behind One of every 63,000 + photographs taken is a wonderful client who placed their trust in me.

Many of you started as clients and became friends, and for that I will always be grateful.

Thank you for your support, your recommendations, your kind words, your reviews and your belief in my business over the last nine years.

I truly couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🤍

With love,

✨ We couldn’t resist jumping on the AI storefront trend… ✨

So, I asked AI to imagine what Willow & Olive Interiors might look like if we had our own showroom.

Nestled within a beautiful Cotswold stone barn, complete with olive green doors, exposed oak beams, beautiful fabrics, bespoke soft furnishings and handcrafted furniture, this is Willow & Olive Interiors through AI’s eyes.

A place where you could browse fabric books, see our Roman blinds and curtains displayed in full, sit on handcrafted footstools and gather inspiration for your own home.

A warm and welcoming space filled with everything we love most – beautiful fabrics, timeless interiors, craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Not bad, right? 🤍

And what would be the first thing you’d make a beeline for?

🤍 A Tribute to Ian Mankin 🤍

Today I wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to Ian Mankin, a name so highly regarded within the world of interiors, soft furnishings and upholstery.

I have included a few photos from the official tribute, alongside some of my own work using Ian Mankin fabrics over the years, including Roman blinds, curtains, upholstery and cushions.

As a maker, Ian Mankin fabrics are a collection I have always had such high regard for. They represent everything I love about good design, quality, simplicity, timelessness and fabrics made for real homes.

His designs have played such an important part in British interiors, from beautiful stripes and natural textures to practical, honest fabrics that work so effortlessly in both traditional and modern homes.

The soft furnishings and upholstery industry has lost a true creative figure, but his legacy will continue through the makers, designers, upholsterers, curtain makers and homes that still use and love his fabrics.

Long may his legacy live on in an industry he clearly loved and helped shape.

My sincere condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and all who knew him.

With love,
Rachael,
