Empire Home & Garden

Welcome – I’m Richard, founder of Empire Home & Garden.

With a background in high-end construction and landscaping, I’ve spent my career working on projects where precision, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction are everything. From luxury homes to bespoke outdoor spaces, I’ve always believed that true design excellence is about more than appearance — it’s about how a space feels, functions, and inspires.

My passion for design started early. Growing up, I was captivated by shows like Grand Designs, Restoration Man, and Homes Under the Hammer — stories of transformation, creativity, and beautiful problem-solving. That curiosity grew into a lifelong love of interior design, architecture, and the finer details that turn a house into a home.

While the traditional path of becoming an architect didn’t align with my journey, the desire to help people achieve exceptional living spaces never left me. That’s why I created Empire Home & Garden — a curated destination for timeless, high-quality furniture and homeware that helps you craft spaces with elegance, purpose, and presence.

We specialise in pieces that balance form and function, blending modern luxury with lasting design. Whether you're creating a statement bedroom, a refined living area, or a garden that entertains effortlessly, our collection is built to support your vision — down to the last detail.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to personal service. I take great pride in being directly involved — offering advice, design guidance, and support to clients looking to elevate their homes. Helping customers create something truly special is the most rewarding part of what I do. Please feel free to send us some pictures of your space and we will be more than happy to offer our advice! 

As Empire grows, I’m actively seeking to collaborate with designers, stylists, and architects who share our passion for high-end, thoughtful spaces. If you're interested in working together, I’d love to hear from you. Contact us.

Thank you for visiting. I look forward to being part of your design journey.

– Richard
