HOME IS WHERE THE STYLE IS... 'We pride ourselves on finding those amazing treasures that most people only find on the occasional holiday, or by chance in a boutique-style shop off the beaten track', said MD James Oliver. 'We are looking for those really special items that turn an ordinary house into an exceptionally beautiful home.' He and the other Directors are well-travelled (Christine having worked as airline crew for nearly 40 years) so they have a history of bringing back unusual and much-coveted items to the UK.
When the world is in a hurry we all want to come home to somewhere that is comfortable, safe and stylish. That has certainly been the case for the buyers behind Avenue 555 who, after a lifetime of travelling to the far reaches of all continents, know that home really is where the heart is.
Working with their Style Ambassador, Penelope Hartcroft, their products are chosen from suppliers in scores of countries - and are often also commissioned for exclusive sale by Avenue 555. Penelope predicts that the key to a well-dressed home this year will be about boldness, using more natural images such as those of plants and foliage and not being frightened to use colour, fabrics and earthy materials.
Set up by the Oliver family; James, Michael and Christine, the online furniture and accessories shop has a wealth of beautiful pieces, all personally picked and packed to offer exceptional style at ordinary prices.
'There has been a focus on minimalistic interior style over the last few years but we see a trend towards striking colours and contrasting, exotic textures. We are all looking for the antidote to our increasingly stressful urban lives and also a move towards eclectic inclusivity and global inclusivity.'
Whether you are looking for classy lamps, Parisian chairs, exquisite furnishings or unique decorative pieces, it is likely that Avenue 555 will be offering something you cannot get anywhere else.
Avenue 555 officially launched on March 1st 2020 from www.avenue555.com and will be constantly expanding its product list as they discover new and exciting pieces to bring to their showcase.
