About us
Cranberryhome
Cranberryhome evolved in early 2014 to provide high quality customer focussed interior design and home staging to home owners in the south of England. Our philosophy is to provide cost effective design that incorporates modern ideas and concepts but with a traditional heritage.
Since its inception, Cranberryhome has become recognised as one of the leading design houses in the area and as testament to this were awarded "Best of Houzz" award for customer service and design five years running. Recognition from BUILD real estate and property awards and from Global business insight awards - leading interior design company of the year 2019
We took delivery of our first sign written Van "Uri" in 2018 and then upgraded to a newer "Hetty" in 2020 to help us with all our fit outs and deliveries.
In 2018/19 we forged a partnerships with Estate Agents: Fine & Country and Taylor Walsh here in Milton Keynes to be their go to staging and styling company for clients.
Through 2021 Cranberryhome won the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle double award for interior design along with
Best Boutique interior design company from the Southern Enterprise awards and two awards from Houzz for design and customer service.
2022 saw Cranberryhome wining Interior Design Firm of the year Buckinghamshire from London and South East England Prestige awards and the prestigious International Property award for kitchen design 5* Cambridgeshire 5* United Kingdom and European award.
In 2023 we expanded the company due to demand and added an interior design assistant to the core team to assist with every day sourcing, styling and fit out. In November we celebrated another 5* award from the International Property awards this time for our bathroom design.
Recently Cranberryhome moved offices to Bedford, creating a more dedicated working space that reflects their design style. Their new home is now equipped with suitable areas to entertain clients and a studio stocked with samples.
Abigail
Junior Interior Designer
Abigail’s passion for design began early, gaining hands-on industry experience from the age of 15 and developing her skills throughout her teens and early twenties.
After graduating with a First Class Honours in Interior Architecture and Design, she joined Cranberryhome in 2023 as a Junior Interior Designer. Since then, Abigail has worked on a wide range of projects. From single-room schemes and thoughtful heritage renovations to a multi-million-pound new build. Her approach is centred on creating beautiful, functional spaces that feel effortlessly personal. She believes good design should reflect how clients live, combining aesthetic flair with everyday practicality.
Outside of the studio, she enjoys baking, cooking, and taking on personal design projects. Staying active through walking, Pilates, and regular gym visits keeps her energised, while travel remains a constant source of design inspiration and fresh perspective. She also values quality time with friends and family, recharging through shared meals, good conversation, and moments of everyday connection.
If Abigail were a Little Greene Paint colour, she would be "Aquamarine" for its gentle coolness and tranquility.
Hugo

&

Hugo has always had a passion for design and creating spaces from an early age. As a teenager, Hugo was in demand with landscape design, having hand crafted many large spaces for clients in mid Wales.
Hugo finely tuned his customer service skills when he went to work with Everest Ltd quickly winning best trainee salesperson in the UK, his years with Everest proved useful in client psychology and working with quality products.

He likes to unwind by enjoying travel which he says "gives me inspiration and design ideas" but on a daily basis loves fresh coffee, dark chocolate and running around the beautiful footpaths in Bromham, Bedford completing many half or full Marathons.
If a Little Greene paint colour, Hugo would be "Juniper Ash" because of it's warmth and intimacy without being overwhelming.
Work Experience Courses and opportunities
We often get asked for opportunities for work experience from colleges to people looking to get into the industry. We offer from time to time placements from 1 day to up to a week. If you are interested in how we can help you, do get in touch. Unfortunately we do not sponsor anyone under 18, sorry if this is you. Do follow our work on socials until then!
Our introduction to interior design courses have in the past been really successful, we offer unique 2 day courses in small numbers and include site visits to actual fit outs for that real experience. These have proved really useful as some interior design courses can be quite expensive.
We are always looking for new talent, so if you are interested in working with us, have a creative flair, practical skills, confident and sense of humour, get in touch with your CV today.
