DeCotesworth — Colour. Charm.Folly.
Interior Transformation
Once upon a time all tangible matters were a spark of an idea, a thought of creativity, a dream in someone's mind. Mine is to offer the world an alternative to the mind-numbing dullness of colourless, catalogue, personality-bereft interiors that people sadly call home. It's time to show what's really possible - let's begin with the world of colour. Not for colour for the sake of colour but the joy of curating it and and the resulting magic that sees it come to life.
De Cotesworth is a dream and it’s taking form. We invite you to join us in this adventure as we solve the problem of terminally dull interiors. We begin by focusing on colour and the endless inspiration of it.
We have two lines - one is Gypsy Life by DeCotesworth which is kind of our everyman's market place approach to design and decorating. It's vintage, collectable, handmade, reinvented and restored.
DeCotesworth, the main brand, has more luxe and glamour but fully embodies the philosophy that we are designed to live a life that's enriched, that's anything but ordinary and that makes life sparkle.
