The Twisted Knot

Quality home decor store

Hello and welcome to The Twisted Knot.. our new art decor and woodworking company created on the branches of www.solidoakdesigns.com (check us out)- specialising in bespoke furniture design and now more commercial projects as our work and imagination expanded, so did our growing range of quality home decor and gifts..
The idea then came to us to keep both ventures separate and give them more room to grow and thus The Twisted Knot was created. We are a small team which both designs and creates all of our high quality products with great care and craftsmanship. Although we remain joined and working together in our picturesque workshop and showroom based in Yorkshire, we strive to ensure all of our customers receive the best service possible.

Creating quality home decor pieces, gifts, beautiful keepsakes, a range of personalised products, specialising in photo printing and giving special occasions that little touch extra.. we put love time and care into everything we make big or small. We also offer bespoke design work for both commercial and non commercial so get in touch and let us help bring your ideas to life.

Thank you so much for reading and we hope you love our shop and range a much as we do creating them.

HELLO

Hi, so a little bit about me and where it all began.. I'll try and keep it brief haha, I have always enjoyed being crafty, from being young I always enjoyed drawing and painting, my dad was always 'arty' and I remember him always drawing and making when I was a child.. during school, art and design always came first and I loved it (definitely over Maths and English for me :-)..which wasn't as much my strong point) naturally leaving school I did a couple of years in art college, studying graphic design. My second love is helping people so leaving college I did various jobs in care for 6 years, finishing when I was expecting my first child Brooke.. During this time my husband Gavin was made redundant from his job, a tough scary time for us, however him being a talented joiner with A LOT of determination he decided to set up on his own (nervous), so 'Solid Oak Designs' was born (our now sister company), starting small and working very long hours he built this up into a fully working bespoke furniture workshop... with a lot of off cuts :-)))... I began using these to make little nic nacs here and there and joining small craft fairs.. this home decor side soon grew and grew, I taught myself how to print photos to wood and soon after how to create and design programs for our laser engraver to bring my ideas to life. More bespoke work started coming and luckily we became very busy. I always wanted to find a way to have customers come to the workshop to bring their ideas to life, so blood (usually Gavs), sweat and tears (definitely mine haha) , we turned a stable and a disused garage into our creative workshop.. and so The Twisted Knot was born! Hurray! Its busy, messy, fun and the best job I could ask for. Running the workshops with large groups of people, making bespoke gifts, helping brides with their wedding days... bossing team Solid Oak Designs about 😉 (juggling our young family as our son Joe was born in the middle of all the above haha) and so much more... I could honestly I Love every minute.. If you're ever in the area feel free to pop up and say hello :-)))

“I ordered a personalised sign for my son and it was a one off made by Holly at The Twisted Knot, it’s absolutely amazing and it means so much too as I haven’t found any others from anywhere. Hollys customer service was amazing and was in contact from design to payment and postage and very good communication throughout. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thankyou Holly ?”

Rho Matthews

“Good communication from the start. Items were received before they were expected and in good condition – it was clear care had been taken to wrap them carefully. I bought the prints on heart shaped oak…they were finished beautifully, are good quality and solid. I love them!”

Naomi Ervine

“Fantastic quality products at affordable prices. They are very adaptable and go out of their way to ensure that the customer is totally satisfied. Brilliant company ?”

Lyndsey Bickerstaffe

“Can’t recommend this seller enough. So friendly and kind. Holly made and posted the sign within a couple of days of my first message to her. I ordered a plain wooden name sign with the intention of painting it to match the rest of the party decorations but it actually looked really lovely on it own so we only added a bit of beeswax to it and it completely finished off the party decor for my little nephew. Everyone loved it! He’s now going to have it in his bedroom above his bed :)”

Lucy Eaton

“Really gorgeous item, so pleased with it. Fantastic service, well packed with fast delivery. Thank you so much!”
