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.

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.
Kirsty
Junior Interior Designer
Kirsty joined Cranberryhome in March 2026, bringing with her a genuine passion for interior design and a refreshingly diverse background. A graduate of Interior Design from De Montfort University, she has a natural flair for creating calm, balanced spaces that feel as practical as they are beautiful.
Her career began crafting bespoke furniture, before moving into a design role focused on curating handmade kitchens for both indoor and outdoor living. This hands-on experience has shaped her thoughtful approach, with a strong appreciation for craftsmanship and detail.
Before fully immersing herself in the world of interiors, Kirsty also graduated in Sports Rehabilitation from St Mary’s University Twickenham. She has also spent time working overseas, gaining valuable insight from different cultures and perspectives, an influence that continues to inform her design style today.
Alongside her professional journey, Kirsty has been a dedicated javelin thrower. This experience has given her a unique understanding of movement and performance, which she brings into her design work, carefully considering how spaces not only look, but how they feel and function.
Kirsty is particularly drawn to the simplicity and elegance of Japandi design, blending Japanese and Scandinavian influences to create spaces that feel calm, natural, and effortlessly refined.
If Kirsty were a Little Greene Paint colour, she would be "Obsidian Green" for its closeness to black!
Hugo
Founder
&
Design Director
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.
With training from the British Academy of Interior Design and House Doctor, after many years of creating beautiful, creative and desirable rooms for friends and family, Hugo set up Cranberryhome to provide a high quality, customer focussed intuitive design company.
Often found on the Ask an Expert stand at Grand Designs, Hugo is in demand for larger scale projects, space planning and project management.
Hugo has written for periodicals and interior design columns being featured in some prestigious national and international publications.
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.
