The Decorative Collective has a mixture of decorative and traditional dealers from around the UK and Europe, with new stock going online constantly, tempting clients to pop back in to see what’s new! It is well known for consistently showcasing high quality pieces of interest for the home and garden, and has become an online destination for both the world's most influential and respected interior designers and private clients alike.

Nearly 30 years ago Rachel Simpson, director of The Rug Studio, began collecting rugs, kilims and textiles during the course of her travels. Over time she came to appreciate that an understanding of the geography, culture and migration of the tribes influenced the design of these pieces. A lifetime of studying the subtle nuances and handling rugs and textiles has enabled Rachel to discern copies from genuine fine examples of antique pieces.
