If you're looking for independent homewares labels in the UK rather than the usual high-street names, I'd start with smaller design-led studios, artisan ceramicists, independent textile brands and labels with a strong point of view.
I've focused on brands with distinctive products, interesting materials and a sense of craftsmanship - from understated, natural interiors to colourful, characterful pieces. These are good starting points for discovering emerging designers as well as established independents. makersmade.comwww.craftscouncil.org.ukwww.standard.co.ukwww.neukstudio.co.uk
