About Nest

Have you ever seen a wren's nest? I hadn't, well not knowingly, until I found two empty nests on the lawn which had blown from their hiding places. I was amazed at how beautiful they were - tiny, mossy structures which looked so cosy and warm.

The family of wrens decided to make their winter home in a swallow's nest just above the back door. At dusk, they were a joy to watch and if you kept very still on the doorstep, they would land on your shoulder or sit on the Christmas wreath.  

I had thought long and hard about a name for the business and wanted something short, sweet and to the point - the wee wrens led me to Nest. Once I had decided on the name, it was on to design and planning and Emily drew the lovely wren which appears throughout our branding. 

When starting to think about colour schemes, Dulux Heritage had just launched their new range of paint - perfect timing! I've chosen three classic, yet timeless colours - DH Oxford Blue, Roman White and Green Slate. These have inspired the branding, website and shed decor and complement the style of the products I sell. 

I have spent hours researching products from numerous suppliers to bring you a carefully curated selection of our favourites. I only stock items I love and would be happy to have in my own home - I hope you feel the same too!
