Room to Grow
George Spencer Designs has a pedigree stretching back nearly 80 years, but what it didn’t have was an overly generous space to present its collections of fabric and wallpaper. A recent move from Chelsea into the redeveloped third floor of Design Centre East has changed that. “We thought our old showroom was a bit overwhelming, and we wanted to increase what we were showing and create a feeling of space,” says managing director Tim Walters. “We’re trying to offer is something a little bit more eclectic – interesting design and colour, and not necessarily all one look.” From its own collections of traditional block-printed wallpaper to unexpected gems such as Australian brand Quercus & Co, there’s now extra pleasure to be had in sourcing beautiful products, thanks to the new space.
