THE WORLD OF MAUD HOUSE

Maud House is a world of fashion, antiques, objects and stories — brought together through curiosity, instinct and a love of beautiful things.

Rather than a traditional shop, I wanted to create a place that feels more like stepping inside a beautiful, slightly eccentric house: each room revealing something unexpected, each piece carrying its own history, and every discovery inviting you to look a little closer.

Maud House is a break from the speed and sameness of modern e-commerce. It is a place to wander, to be inspired and to discover pieces that feel personal — whether that is a rare piece of clothing, an antique object, an intriguing interior, or simply a story worth knowing.

My background is in Art History, having studied at The Courtauld Institute of Art, and I now work as a Designer Buyer Assistant within the fashion industry. Both have shaped the way I look at things: with an appreciation for craftsmanship, history, context and the details that make something truly special.

I have always loved travelling, exploring different places and finding the unexpected — from vintage shops and antique markets to beautiful houses, galleries and small discoveries along the way. Maud House is an extension of that instinct to collect, curate and share.

There is no strict formula here. The collection is guided by personal taste rather than trends, bringing together fashion, antiques and objects from different periods and places. Some things are rare, some are unusual, some simply made me stop and look twice.

Think of Maud House as a tastemaker's paradise — an ever-evolving house of things worth knowing, wearing, living with and remembering.

Come in, have a look around.

Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.

My Story

My relationship with interiors began long before I understood it as a discipline or an industry. It started with objects — their weight, patina, and quiet authority — and with spaces that felt lived-in rather than styled.

I grew up in Surrey, an environment that was comfortable but visually unremarkable. Everything changed when I was sixteen and my family moved to Shropshire, renting Morville Hall, a house previously tenanted by the interior designer Christopher Hodsoll. Walking through the house for the first time was a formative experience. I had never seen such a rich and layered collection of furniture, art, and objects, nor witnessed how history, architecture, and personal taste could coexist so harmoniously. It was the moment I realised that interiors could tell stories.

During our time at Morville Hall, I became deeply involved in shaping the space. I helped my mother source furniture, photographed every piece we owned, and created a detailed reference document to understand how each item related to the house as a whole. This process — equal parts analytical and intuitive — sparked an enduring fascination with curation, proportion, and atmosphere.

That instinct followed me to university and beyond. I graduated from The Courtauld Institute of Art with a First-Class degree, where my academic training sharpened my visual literacy and historical understanding. Even as a student, I resisted the transient, disposable approach often taken to interiors. Over three years in the same flat, I slowly transformed the space, favouring considered pieces over quick fixes — fairy lights firmly banned.

Since then, my passion has only deepened. Last summer, I drove to Provence on a trip dedicated entirely to sourcing antiques, and I continue to spend much of my spare time immersed in auctions, dealers, and research. Although I currently work as a Merchandiser at Joseph — a role that has given me a rigorous commercial grounding, fluency with numbers, and an understanding of stock and presentation — my heart remains firmly with objects and interiors.

I have hands-on experience working within the antiques world, including assisting on a stand at the Treasure House Fair with Thomas Coulborn & Sons, as well as extensive client-facing experience through my work managing wholesale showrooms in London and Paris. These roles have shaped my belief that successful interiors sit at the intersection of aesthetic sensitivity and practical intelligence.

This platform is a space to share my ongoing exploration of interiors, antiques, and curation — from personal projects and sourcing trips to the objects and spaces that inspire me most. My approach is rooted in narrative-led interiors: spaces that feel collected, personal, and quietly confident rather than overly polished.

I am endlessly curious, always learning, and deeply drawn to the beauty of things made to last.
