Vision
​The saying "handmade with love" is the core value at Zenterior's professional workrooms. The team at Zenterior get a great deal of enjoyment, pride and fulfilment from their work, a fact that is arguably not only observable, but infectious. Recognition of the importance of these values is why Zenterior will never outsource and has no intention to grow for growth's sake.
​
As an interior design company operating in Cornwall, they are aware that this is a region of disparity that is both dependent on, and a victim of the downsides of the second home and holiday let market. As the majority of their work comes from exactly this sector, the promotion of local artists, craftspeople and the extraordinary talent that Cornwall has to offer forms a central core to their operation, ensuring the local economy gets the highest benefit possible from their work. Cornwall is blessed with many small businesses working at world class standards and levels of creativity. It's easy to find inspiration on your doorstep.
​
Zenterior's impact on the environment is very important to them. They actively focus on using sustainable sourcing, upcycling, repurposing and recycling materials and minimising their carbon footprint. Preloved furniture is given a new lease of life in their projects, and furniture that is being replaced that is still in good condition is donated to local charities.
​
The future for Zenterior involves continuing to strive for increasingly sustainable sourcing and manufacturing methods, whilst putting a growing number of eco focused Cornish artists and crafts businesses at the centre of their work.

"We love what we do and are just as happy making one, perfectly fitting blind in the ideal fabric as we are designing and fitting a chain of hotels. It's wonderful to help make any project the best it can be."
