Our Story

Empire Home and Garden was born from a shared passion between two friends who wanted to bring their love for design, craftsmanship, and functional living to life. Richard, a seasoned builder with a lifelong fascination for architecture and interior design, teamed up with his close friend, Nick, who specializes in creating spaces that are as practical and usable as they are beautiful.

Inspired by TV shows like The Dream Home Makeover, Amazing Interiors, Grand Designs, and BBC’s Your Home Made Perfect, Richard wanted to help others achieve their dream homes without the expensive overheads of traditional architectural services. Together, they envisioned a business that combines high-quality furniture, personalised interior design, and a focus on functional, everyday living spaces.
