Interior Design Inspiration
Written By Simon Mayhew

At TXTURED, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke interiors that embody both sophistication and individuality. When it comes to luxury home interior design in Manchester, it’s often the unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that elevate a space from simply beautiful to truly exceptional. Over the years, we’ve explored the city’s hidden design gems to find custom elements that bring lasting value and style to both residential and commercial spaces.

1. Independent Artisans and Custom Furniture Makers

To achieve genuinely bespoke interiors, we collaborate with local artisans who specialise in custom-made furnishings. From handcrafted dining tables to tailored storage solutions, these pieces are designed to fit perfectly into your space—whether it’s a luxury residential renovation or a high-end commercial design. Manchester’s community of skilled furniture makers and craftspeople ensure each element is defined by quality, durability, and timeless appeal..

2. Vintage Markets and Antique Stores

Manchester’s vintage markets and antique shops offer character-filled items that inject history and charm into any interior. By sourcing vintage lighting fixtures, antique mirrors, and beautifully aged furniture, TXTURED adds layers of personality to luxury home interiors or exclusive hospitality projects. These one-of-a-kind finds blend effortlessly with contemporary accents, resulting in curated spaces that feel both warm and distinctive.

3. Local Galleries for Custom Artwork

Art plays a pivotal role in creating exclusive design elements that elevate a room’s ambiance. Manchester’s thriving art scene provides abundant opportunities to source original artwork—from modern paintings to striking sculptures. Whether it’s a statement piece for a sophisticated hotel lobby or a carefully chosen canvas for a high-end living room, we integrate artwork that complements your vision, showcasing the depth and refinement characteristic of truly luxurious interiors

4. Specialist Showrooms and Fabric Stores

Quality textiles are essential for achieving that tactile luxury associated with bespoke interiors. Manchester’s specialist fabric showrooms and high-end retailers offer premium materials—velvet upholstery, handwoven rugs, and natural linens—that bring texture and comfort to any space. At TXTURED, we select these textiles thoughtfully, ensuring each fabric enhances both the aesthetic and the atmosphere of your residential or commercial setting.

5. Sustainable and Local Design Sources

Sustainability and ethical sourcing matter now more than ever, and Manchester’s design community reflects that growing trend. We partner with suppliers committed to eco-friendly materials and responsible production methods. Whether it’s reclaimed wood furniture or locally sourced stone, these sustainable choices help us create interiors that are not only luxurious but also respectful of the environment—a quality increasingly sought after in both homes and businesses.
