Officially the Best Lifestyle Store in Norfolk 2025

Reflecting on an Incredible Milestone 🏆

Last year was a moment we will always be grateful for.

In 2025, Norfolk Luxury Furniture (now Norfolk Luxury Lifestyle) was crowned Best Lifestyle Store in Norfolk by the Muddy Stilettos Awards - and even now, it still feels just as special.

When we look back, we feel an overwhelming sense of pride and gratitude. To receive that recognition so early in our journey was something we could only have dreamed of.

Building a Business - and Still Being Mums

Behind the scenes, this journey has been about far more than just business growth.

In between sourcing collections, styling the shop floor, lots of late nights, updating the website ourselves and planning new ideas, we are still mums. We are doing school runs. We are making packed lunches. We are managing homework, family life and running households - just like so many of you.

There have been early mornings and late nights. Laptop sessions after bedtime. Conversations about stock orders in between family dinners.

Building Norfolk Luxury Lifestyle has never replaced our roles at home - it has grown alongside them. And while that balance isn’t always perfect, it makes this achievement even more meaningful.

This award wasn’t just recognition of our business. It was recognition of the juggle.

What made it even more extraordinary was that we had only been open for six months when we were nominated.

Six months of building.
Six months of curating.
Six months of styling, learning, welcoming customers through our doors, and pouring everything we had into creating something truly special for Norfolk.

To be recognised in our very first year felt surreal. It was a reminder that taking the leap - and believing in ourselves - was absolutely worth it.

More Than Just Furniture

October also marked another huge milestone for us.

We made the decision to change our name from Norfolk Luxury Furniture to Norfolk Luxury Lifestyle - a move that felt bold, exciting and completely aligned with who we had become.

We realised we were no longer just about furniture. We were about:

• Lifestyle
• Thoughtfully curated living
• Interior styling
• Accessories, gifting and Norfolk brands
• Fashion
• Pet Care
• Sport (Padel)
  

The new name felt limitless. It allowed us to grow, evolve and expand without boundaries - and reflect everything we stand for.

What That Award Meant to Us

Winning Best Lifestyle Store in Norfolk wasn’t just a title. It was:

- A vote of confidence from our community
- A moment that solidified Norfolk Luxury Lifestyle’s place in the county
- Recognition of our hard work and dedication

It validated the late nights, the careful product selections, the seasonal tablescapes, and every decision we made with intention and heart.

A Year On - Still So Grateful

Since then, we’ve introduced Personalisation into the shop, embossing bags and accessories with customers and loved ones initials, and brought in some of our favourite Norfolk brands - including The Noor Company and Norfolk Natural Living.

We are continuously refreshing our shop and updating our website with new arrivals too!

Looking Ahead to 2026

Our plans for 2026 are all about continuing to grow:

- Expanding our lifestyle collections
- Growing our interior styling services
- Collaborating with inspiring brands
- Late night shopping events

Last year’s win will forever be part of our story. And as we step into 2026, we do so feeling proud of how far we’ve come -  and excited for everything still ahead.

With love and gratitude,

Laura & Katie
