About us
Back in 1997 I opened Blomster Designs Flowers in Stoke D’Abernon, and over the years the range of home accessories I offered alongside the flowers, grew. After I met Claire, we discovered a shared love of Scandinavia; the people, the landscape and their natural flair for interior design and, after we were married, Claire and I started working together. With close friends in Denmark, we have spent a lot of time developing our understanding of what home means there and launched Blomster Designs online to offer a carefully curated range of Scandinavian inspired contemporary homeware, candles, accessories and gifts.
We personally select all the items we offer from our favourite brands including Georg Jensen, Kähler, Ester & Erik and Bjørn Wiinblad and want to ensure that only the highest quality products are showcased in your home. We are lucky to have built up our own collection of items over the years and are more than happy to advise our customers on their choices.
Although we love the work we do, we also cherish the time we can take away together. We have toured around much of Europe and often find ourselves back in Scandinavia. When we are out in nature we are always inspired by the beauty of our surroundings and are reminded how important it is for us to bring these elements into our home. The natural woods, calming palettes, organic forms and mixed textures used by many of the brands we work with ensure that their products combine to help create a sense of peace and balance.
Eco Awareness
Our awareness of the impact we have on the planet has increased hugely over the years and it is something that we cannot ignore, not as individuals nor as a business. As a business we are not only mindful of the products we sell and the companies that we work with but are conscious of the way we send out items to our customers. As much as possible we reuse and repurpose packing materials that we ourselves have received items in but where we can’t, we have replaced the polystyrene packing pellets we used previously with waste card and paper that we shred ourselves; we have replaced the traditional plastic based packing tape with paper tape and have replaced our plastic mail bags with paper ones.
When we looked at what we could do to lessen our businesses impact, we took it back to the basics and aimed to try to reduce our consumption, reuse what we could and recycle what we couldn’t, because that simple phrase, ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ is a very good starting point for us all. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
