For a company with more than two centuries of history behind it, Heal’s is looking remarkably fresh.
Home to both cutting-edge designs and some of the greatest furniture hits of the past century, the brand occupies a sweet spot between modern and classic, and it’s this alchemy that made it a deserving winner.
‘Our mix of established design classics and innovative work from emerging designers helps customers create homes that feel personal, considered and reflective of their own stories,’ says Sabina Miller, buying director at Heal’s.
What does modern heritage mean to Heal’s?
‘We believe in creating modern heirlooms: pieces designed to last for generations, combining enduring quality with timeless appeal. It's an approach rooted in our founder Ambrose Heal's vision of bringing together good design and simple, functional forms that reflect the way people live today. We’ve continually evolved our perspective on contemporary interiors ever since,' says Sabina.
Sabina's tips for a modern heritage interior
1) Invest in timeless, well-crafted furniture made from quality materials
Key pieces such as sofas, dining tables and storage designs anchor a space, offering a foundation of enduring style that will continue to evolve over the years.
2) Mix old and new
Don’t be afraid to combine vintage or inherited pieces with contemporary designs to create a considered, layered look that feels personal and tells a meaningful story.
3) Layer textures and materials throughout the space
Lighting, artwork, books and decorative objects helps create visual interest and warmth, resulting in a home that feels lived-in, collected and uniquely individual.
