Heather - Manager
Hi, I’m Heather, I’ve been managing The Granary for 6 years. I have a degree in fashion and textile design. I’ve always loved fabrics of all kinds, inspired by my grandmother, who was a lacemaker. After working in fashion for 8 years, I took my career on a tangent into the art world. This really brought my attention to what people love the most, their home, and my interest in interiors developed from there.
Designing a space is fun to me, although I understand so many people don’t feel this way and can be daunted by the thought of changing their room. I aim to be a partner that will inspire enthusiasm and confidence in their decisions and take the difficulties out of the decision.
Looking into the future, there is so much change in the world, and I’m very interested in living in a sustainable way. I love finding solutions that will work and adapt as people’s lives and needs change. A good piece of furniture will translate well into different scenarios, sometimes this means switching things around a little, adding a bit in, taking a bit out, repurposing in a different way, there are so many ways to be creative with your home!
Top Tip: Everything we do in the home, from a quick tidy up, to treating yourself to a newly designed room, is an investment in your personal environment. It’s so important in this fast paced and changing world to ensure your home functions for you, on every level; physically, emotionally, mentally, aesthetically. When my eyes are happy with a room, I can relax, and let the world disappear for a while.
Anna - Sales Consultant
My passion is helping others make their house feel like a home.
For me it is not about chasing every current trend in Interior design but matching great design with our customers personalities. With 15 years’ experience working in the unique and special Granary I enjoy building relationships with our shoppers, from helping them pick out that extra special wedding present to helping them find their perfect sofa, it is all about interaction for me.
Alongside my work in the sales team, I am also run my own creative practice making bespoke rugs. I call it “painting with wool”. I use many of the communication skills I have learnt in store in my creative work.
Top Tip: When designing a room, I always advise customers to look at what existing things must go into the room; this is part of putting your heart and soul into a space and it not just looking like a show room. It can help you select a colour palette and pick up on shapes and styling creating harmony among the furniture and accessories.
