FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ATTENTION : DESIGN EDITORS and HOME FEATURE WRITERS DESIRE a CONTEMPORARY DESIGN CO. & SHOP TAKING ‘TRADITIONAL' HENLEY-ON-THAMES / HOME COUNTIES BY STORM

. Catherine Thomas (29) is the owner & MD of desire, which opened in 2002. It made a profit in its first year and this year has doubled in retail size. This success can be attributed to it offering varied and stylish design products that manage to be both contemporary and classic, at reasonable and affordable prices.

The expansion has given desire the space to create ‘room sets' allowing the customer to see how the products will look in their home.
Customers can choose from a wide range of furniture – much of it bespoke and designed by desire, and lighting, rugs, curtains and blinds, and smaller accessories like mugs, salt and pepper shakers, chess sets and much more.

Appreciating how stressful getting married can be, desire's wedding list service focuses on giving the couple a relaxed, stress free experience.
desire offer an early evening appointment for the couple to compile their list with the shop closed and a glass of wine in their hand. They can take as much time as they like and ask for personal assistance when needed, this comfortable approach has already been highlighted by Cosmo bride magazine

The interior design side of the business has quickly grown a great reputation and Catherine is now working on a diverse range of projects – from clients who want to transform one room without breaking the bank, to full refurbishments of whole houses, and alongside architects on large scale developments. Commercial projects include several shops and offices, and currently a boutique hotel in a French ski resort.

The website www.desireshop.co.uk includes shop and design images.
