Westcot House began in 2013, in a house of that name in Oxfordshire. I had been a magazine editor, and with my children at prep school I started making cushions, memo boards and Christmas fair treasures, then curtains for friends. Word spread, and the business grew from there.

Today we make exquisitely finished furnishings for clients across London and the home counties, and offer a full interior design service. Our work has featured in House & Garden, Homes & Gardens and The English Home magazine, among others.

What hasn’t changed is how we work. I collaborate with a small group of incredibly talented makers, from seamstresses who finish every hem by hand to upholsterers, fitters and cabinet makers. All share a love of detail, and I’m proud that our work helps keep these traditional crafts alive.

I’m also lucky to have a growing studio team around me, who look after everything from samples and orders to drawings, presentations and fitting dates. Together with our freelance designers, we can take on more, while still giving every client the same personal attention.

Every project, large or small, begins with a conversation and usually a visit to your home, so we can understand the house, the brief and the way you live. Whether we’re making a single pair of curtains or redesigning a whole house, we’ll take you through each stage, and we’re happy to work alongside your architect or builder.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY…

  • "Tor and her team have been a pleasure to work with. They have been involved in the design and creation of some beautiful curtains and roman blinds. The fit was always going to be complicated in an old house that has no straight walls or floors but this did not deter the team at Westcot House and we felt confident to trust them with some beautiful fabrics. We were delighted with their competitive pricing, outstanding quality, timely delivery and attention to detail and Tor and her team were eager to listen and to engage in our vision, providing guidance where needed. We were even able to use every last scrap of fabric for some matching cushions! Thank you all."

    Niki, Oxfordshire

  • "The team at Westcot House has so far produced a wonderful roman blind and window seat cushion for our kitchen - and also some beautiful floor length curtains for our hallway. From a position of not really knowing where to start, Tor was brilliant in helping us to focus and to consider colours and patterns that were just our sort of style and that would also complement our existing furnishings/decor. The quality is superb and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our house has many more bare windows that need dressing in the months/years to come and we will definitely be calling-on Tor and her team to help us again!"

    Ellie, Buckinghasmhire

  • “Tor has an impressively wide range of beautifully made home furnishings which epitomise country chic and at very affordable prices, overall a wonderful personal service which I shall continue to use."

    Louise - Oxfordshire

  • “We are so pleased with all of the projects we have had with Tor. Westcot House has made curtains, roman blinds, cushions and recovered an armchair, an ottoman and a headboard, all to a high specification and quick delivery. It is a pleasure to interact with Tor and her flexible approach and eye for detail have guided me to get the look I was aiming for in our home. Keen to start another project!”

    Eva Lotta - Oxfordshire

  • “Westcot House has made me interlined triple-pleat curtains, roman blinds and plush cushions. Apart from the exceptionally high quality of the finish, I've had help with choosing fabrics (Tor has excellent knowledge of all the designers you've heard of, as well as plenty that you haven't), styles, fixtures (poles and blind fittings) as well as the finishing touch.... putting the finished product in place. I couldn't recommend Westcot House highly enough.”

    Tiggy - Oxfordshire

  • “Tor is a pleasure to work with. She always interprets a commission exactly as you have imagined it, or sometimes with a new twist, and always in good time. She has done fantastic work turning my tapestry work into luxurious, quirky cushions.”

    Emma - Oxfordshire

  • “Over the years, Tor has been my go-to person for all soft furnishings – cushions, blinds, sofa covers. She gives great advice, but never overrides her client’s preferences. She is honest about timescales and the finished product always looks wonderful. If there’s a problem afterwards she will take the same trouble in resolving it as she did in delivering it in the first place. Highly recommended!”

    Diana - London

  • “This is the second time Westcot House has worked on our sitting room, both with excellent outcomes. We were delighted with the combination of colours and textures, and the highly professional and personal service Tor delivered. She went out of her way to ensure we were 100% happy - which we were!”

    Val - Gloucestershire

  • “Tor is not only a talented designer, she is also a fantastic person to work with. During our consultation, she gave us lots of ideas and options, all within our budget and we never felt pressured – in fact, the whole process was great fun! We are so thrilled with the end result, both the design and quality are absolutely beautiful. We would not hesitate to use Tor on our next refurbishment project and would highly recommend her.”

    Lucy - Oxfordshire

  • “Tor is wonderful! The work done for a recent project was excellent and beautifully made, we look forward to working with her again!”

    Tracey - London

  • “Tor is so very versatile in the world of curtains, blinds and soft furnishings. The quality of her work is excellent and she has a really can-do attitude! She is a great listener and communicator so is able to transform the client's ideas into reality very quickly.”

    Sharon Suffolk

  • “Work beautifully done. Lovely craftsmanship and care. Listened carefully. Could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend Westcot House.”

    Vanessa - Cotswolds

  • "Tor has undertaken a number of soft furnishing projects for us including curtains, blinds, valances and cushions. Her work is exemplary - always taking trouble and care, and carried out to a high standard. My go-to soft furnisher!"

    Flora, Hampshire

  • "Working with Tor on my house renovations has been an absolute pleasure – I love pouring over fabric ideas with her and she’s always able to come up with ideas and knows all the suppliers inside out. Her installation team has been superb who I fully trust with getting it spot on every time. She has also built up a wealth of knowledge on other aspects of interior design with lots of recommendations and contacts which I’ve definitely taken advantage of. A huge thank you to Tor – and I’m continuing to work with her on new requirements."

    Suzannah, Weybridge, Surrey

  • "Tor has helped me with all the blinds and upholstery in my new house and I absolutely love working with her. It's been a fantastic collaborative process with lots of samples flying back and forth to make the ideas come to life. She is great at understanding my vision and finding ways to bring this to life. The quality of the work is impeccable and the team are really friendly and flexible when they come for installation. Looking forward to more projects together. "
