Welcome!

Hello! I am Jen.

I am so pleased you're here!

For years, I followed a path that seemed “right” rather than one that truly fulfilled me. Approaching 40, single, living in London with my little dog, Peanut, the weight of societal expectations — including plenty I'd put on myself — had started to feel like too much. I knew something had to change.

I took control of the only thing I knew how to at the time and started to redesign my home.

I didn't really know what I was doing. I just cleared out stuffed wardrobes, the junk under the bed and possessions I'd completely forgotten I owned.

I decorated for a clean slate.

And something profound started to happen.

As my home transformed, so did my energy. My creativity started to come back. My long-lost drive and aspirations, which had bee buried under lost confidence for so long, started to sparkle in my mind again.

And suddenly, everything started shifting.

I'd previously convinced myself that life and success had to follow a conventional path of working for other people instead of pursuing my dream of running my own furniture store but, finally, I felt like I might just have the confidence to try it.

So here are the fruits of my journey. A store that knows first-hand just how powerful our homes can be, and how much the things we surround ourselves with can matter.

I've tried to weave that into Home Hideouts through the pieces we love, the things we talk about and a newfound gratitude for creating a life that feels like our own — rather than the one we're told we should live.

I'd love to hear from you if you ever need to chat.

Love, Jen and Peanut x
