I'm Alana, a founder of Delve Interiors. A complete interiors addict since I was a kid, I have been involved in interiors and construction since 2008 when I started my first job in soft furnishing design straight out of college. I then went on to study at the KLC School of Design and have been working in the industry ever since.

For the past two years my partner Stephen and I have been renovating an Edwardian cottage, slowly stripping away the 1970s decor and bringing the character back into the house.

I have always been conscious of my impact on the environment and we challenged ourselves to try and source second hand and recycled building materials where possible. In doing this I realised how expensive salvaged items are unless you search them out yourself. It takes patience and sometimes endless searching to find the right piece for your home. I wanted to make finding sustainable homeware more accessible and cost effective hence the Delve Interiors shop was born. Offering one off preloved and upcycled pieces that add personality to your space without costing the earth.

I am so thrilled to start this new adventure and I really hope you enjoy my little shop.
