High-quality homewares from independent UK businesses

Here at Smiths our aim is to provide unique, high-quality products from small, independent UK businesses.

We all have a responsibility to try and do our bit for the environment no matter how small.

Our hope is to find suppliers as close to us as possible, using eco friendly materials and not forsaking the passion and care that comes from somebody personally taking pride in the reputation of their business. We are not completely there, we still have work to do but we have made a start.

See below for some of the homewares that we currently stock, from independent suppliers throughout the UK.
