“At our family-run workshop, every sofa is crafted with care, built to last, and designed to feel like home. Quality isn’t just a promise – it’s our tradition.”

About us.

 

At Nu-Trend Interiors, we’re proud to be a small, family-run business with a lot of heart and an ever-growing passion for beautiful, high-quality furniture. Our story began in 1996, when Gary and Maggie opened the doors of their first shop in Nottinghamshire. It was a humble little space, but they made it work, filling every corner with the love and care they put into their craft.

Gary has been in the furniture industry since 1979. His journey began making sofas in Glenbery, Long Eaton, before moving into a smaller workshop nearby when that factory closed down. Through every transition, Gary and his team’s commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a personal touch has remained the foundation of everything we do.

By 2011, things were going well, but there was one small problem—parking! Our showroom didn’t have enough space for our growing number of customers, so we took a big leap and moved further down the road. This new location didn’t just solve our parking woes—it gave us the opportunity to create a dedicated workshop right above the showroom, where Gary & his team could once again craft beautiful bespoke sofas on-site. It also meant we could keep everything in-house, ensuring the same high standards across the board.

Now, we’re excited to take the next step in our journey: going online! We want to bring the charm and quality of Nu-Trend Interiors to homes all across Great Britain. We know you can shop for sofas anywhere, but here’s why we believe you’ll love what we offer:

  • Handcrafted with Love: Every piece we create is crafted with care. From the bespoke sofas made on-site by Gary himself to the stunning oak furniture we hand-select, we pride ourselves on creating furniture that stands the test of time.
  • Quality & Affordability: You don’t need to break the bank for beautiful, well-made furniture. We offer the same price range as large retailers like Next, but our products are built with superior quality, using materials and techniques that set us apart.
  • A Personal Touch: As a family-run business, we believe in building lasting relationships with our customers. Many of our customers return time and again because they know we truly care about their needs and go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy with their purchases. Whether you need help choosing the perfect sofa or advice on the best layout for your space, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
  • Sustainability & Durability: We believe in creating furniture that’s not just beautiful but also durable. Our pieces are made to last, and we focus on sustainable practices to ensure our furniture has a positive impact on your home and the environment.

We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come, and none of it would be possible without the support of our loyal customers. From our first small shop to where we are today, it’s been an exciting journey—and we can’t wait to see where it takes us next.

So, is it time to make your house a Nu-Trend home? Whether you’re looking for a bespoke sofa that fits perfectly into your space or stylish oak furniture to complete your home, we’re here to make your dream home a reality.
