In a world flooded with mass produced interiors items, salon emerges as a refreshing haven for lovers of thoughtful and timeless design. Co-founded by Alice B Davies and Hannah Harris, Salon is more than just an online shop, it’s a curated platform that blends luxury interiors with storytelling. SALON isn’t your typical shoppable platform. Its mission is simple, to bring together the interiors industry’s finest craft-led makers, responsible brands, and curators. The focus is on slow, considered design, not following trends and pieces that are built to last, crafted with care, and imbued with meaning. The platform celebrates materiality, durability, and artistry over fleeting trends or mass-market production. Shoppable rooms, designed by experts in interior decoration, colour and styling, what could be better? Edward Bulmer's original drawing plan for the room Table by Alfred Newell.

His work is a beautiful reminder that tradition and innovation are not opposites but partners and that it is more than possible to create spaces that honour the past while embracing new makers and designs. For us, this partnership felt like the perfect shorthand around the ethos and ethics of all the makers SALON work with and the way our room designs come together, bringing a mix of antique dealers, art curations and new brands and products in one place”. Alice B Davies, co-founder of Salon and House and Garden rising star “For SALON, Edward chose to design a bedroom, “because it’s something we all have to do,” – sleep, I presume he means, though one can’t help but wonder where he finds the time. And Georgian, “because it’s still the dream,” he says, with a smile. “But I stopped myself from doing a nice, polite Georgian mahogany bed and thought how nice to have a brass bed instead and a painted brass bed looking at your Cornish Bed Company”. In compiling the scheme, Bulmer has followed the same codes he applies to Britain’s most impressive period houses. “ Interview with Georgina Lucas for Salon. Showcasing some of the industry’s most beloved makers, including Lorfords Antiques, House of Hackney, Delft, The Cornish Bed Company, and HOWE London—you might think creating a room with these beautiful pieces would be effortless. But as Edward Bulmer explains, “It’s like music—the details that finish a scheme, gilt frames, brass poles, brass fenders, little incidents, they all need to sing together.” Bringing these elements into perfect harmony isn’t as simple as it sounds. That’s where SALON comes in. This carefully curated collective of brands and makers champions true craft and slow design. “They’re a lot like me,” Edward says, “all channelling long design traditions, but tweaking them just enough to feel modern, relevant, fresh, and fun.” Shop the room and discover SALON HERE
