About

Every space, object, and material holds a story… it’s in the curve of a chair, the way light moves through a room, the balance between colours and textures.
Inspiration comes from noticing, the quiet details most people walk past.
I believe beauty lives in the everyday, and that thoughtful design isn’t about perfection, it’s about connection, atmosphere, and feeling at ease in your surroundings.
Rume is built on this way of seeing, slowing down, observing deeply, and finding meaning in the details.
Every piece in the store is chosen with intention, the textures that invite touch, the tones that soften light, the balance that makes a room feel calm.
People often describe Rume as peaceful, and that’s exactly what I hope you feel - a sense of ease, belonging, and quiet inspiration.
What I do (besides rearrange the furniture constantly)I am an expert hunter, too. If there’s something specific you’re after - that just-right pendant light, the elusive dining table of your dreams - I can source it for you, even if it’s not currently in our collection.
Rume's collection
The range is constantly evolving. I like to keep things fresh and curated, so what’s on the shelves today might not be here next time you visit. I follow design trends loosely but always trust my intuition when it comes to what to add to the range in store and online.
Every season, you’ll see a slightly new edit. I believe in quality over quantity, soul over sameness and homes that reflect the people who live in them (like you!).
Drop by the shop, browse online or get in touch if you need a wee bit of help with anything styling - Everyone knows I love this stuff!
