The Local Crowd

Posted by Andrew Mear


Here at the Home Company we’re champions of all things local and British.

We love to shout about and bring products to our customers, that we know they’ll love - all made by our wonderful, skilled and independent craftsmen and women. We’re proud to be able to stock a number of beautiful pieces of furniture and accessories manufactured within the Yorkshire region as well as in and around the UK. Making Waves Woodwork is one of those local producers.

James Banham is the man behind the brand! He produces furniture and accessories in small batches from his workshop in Halifax using traditional methods and sourcing wood sustainably, James is self-taught and makes everything from towel ladders, wall art and candle holders, to bed frames, tables and media units – with some items available made-to-measure. A selection of his beautiful pieces are available to buy from our showroom. Hand made Olive Wood Coffee Table from Making Waves Woodwork.

The Yorkshire RAM

This range of beautiful, hand poured soy candles are made right here in Skipton by Rachel and Mark (RAM). With a selection of gorgeous scents for every occasion including, Lemongrass and Ginger, Lime Basil and Mandarin and Linen Soy, there’s something for every nose!



Baa Stools

The name says it all, Baa Stools offers a collection of beautifully crafted pieces of furniture, from bar stools, footstools, chairs and benches – all made right here in the UK. Using premium grade sheepskin from UK flocks of sheep, furniture is manufactured using a mix of modern and traditional methods, ensuring every piece is guaranteed to make people smile when they walk in the room.



We absolutely love Baa Stools and our customers do to. Gracing many a glossy interior magazine, we’re so lucky to stock them right here in our showroom!
