Our Story
Crafted with love in Puglia, Italy
Meraki Boutique Home is an independent small business that began its journey in the UK. Founded in 2020 by the couple Simone (on the left) and Virginija (on the right), our brand was born from a fun craft project during lockdown. Much to our surprise, that initial spark of creativity blossomed into a full-time passion that we absolutely LOVE.
After over three wonderful years of crafting in the UK, we have recently relocated to the enchanting landscapes of Italy. From now on, all orders will be shipped directly from Italy, infusing our handmade items with a sense of Italian artistry and charm.
At Meraki Boutique Home, we specialise in creating stylish and functional home décor that brings warmth and sophistication into your living spaces. Drawing inspiration from the Scandinavian hygge lifestyle, we seamlessly merge functionality and aesthetics to infuse elegance and cosiness into every home.
Each item in our curated selection is meticulously handcrafted by us, ensuring the highest level of quality and attention to detail. As a small two-person business, we pour our hearts into every creation, and we hope that you will cherish them as much as we do.
Our collections encompass decorative trays, candle holders, plant pots, vases, wall clocks, table lamps, jewellery holders, coasters, table décor, ornaments, and seasonal decorations.
We take pride in our bestseller, the oval tray, which was featured in the April 2022 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine as a must-have kitchen accessory.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to sharing our handcrafted creations with you, now enriched by the beauty and inspiration of Italy.
Inspired by the Scandinavian "hygge" lifestyle
Our designs are inspired by Scandinavian hygge lifestyle, combining function and aesthetics. The Danish concept of hygge, refers to finding comfort, pleasure, and warmth in simple, soothing things such as a cosy atmosphere or the feeling of friendship.
Our Aim
At Meraki Boutique Home, we believe that our surrounding environment has a huge impact on our well-being and how we feel. Home is the place where we spend most of our daily time. It's the sanctuary we return to after long days at work. Therefore, we're committed to creating home décor that adds elegance and cosiness to any living space. Not every house might initially feel like 'home,' but our aim is to help you transform it into one - a place where you find comfort and inner balance.
"Meraki"
One word that perfectly describes what we do is “Meraki”. It’s a beautiful Greek word that means doing something with soul, creativity, or love – when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing.
We love what we do, we hope you’ll love it too.
