Harrogate interior design specialist opens new £100k showroom

Richard Grafton Interiors is spotlighting its rapid expansion by opening a third Harrogate showroom, which will showcase the services of its joint venture with interior architecture company Grafton Freestone.

Located on the corner of Montpellier Street and The Ginnel, the new 1,000 sq ft showroom is also adjacent to Richard Grafton Interiors’ existing furnishings and interior design showroom and studio in Harrogate’s Montpellier Quarter.

The company has an additional 2,000 sq ft warehouse showroom - opened in 2013 - in the Beech Avenue Business Park, also in Harrogate,

The newest showroom will display the design services of Grafton Freestone, which was launched in May 2013.The business delivered over £500,000 of bespoke room projects across Yorkshire in its first year and is continuing to grow rapidly.

As well as designing and installing bathrooms and wet rooms, kitchens, dressing rooms, Grafton Freestone also supplies cabinetry for a variety of rooms, and partners with technology providers to install tailored audio visual systems and cinema rooms as part of the build.

Andrew Freestone, the director of Grafton Freestone, said: “This showroom allows us to bring to life what we can offer to clients who want a really special, uniquely designed and state-of-the-art home,” said director Andrew Freestone.

“As well as being able to browse our portfolio of projects, clients can touch and feel the quality of our wood cabinetry, sit in our room spaces and play with the sound and vision systems and gadgetry that really complete a project.”

Richard Grafton, Freestone’s fellow director and business partner, added: “Grafton Freestone’s services usually involve architectural work such as staircases, cabinets and furniture installations, flooring, bathrooms and home entertainment. All this complements our interior design service that is the focus of our showroom next door, and across both companies we share the same commitment to providing the highest quality of design and service.

“The Montpellier Quarter has a long history as an antiques centre, but we are seeing more new designer clothing boutiques and interiors businesses come to the surrounding streets each year. We are proud to be part of this resurgence that is bringing jobs to the town and making the area around Montpellier Street and The Ginnel a design destination both within the county and also by attracting visitors from further afield.”
