Our take
Founded in 2014, Havenly Brands has grown to be a major player in the online interior design space. It operates the brands Havenly, Interior Define, Burrow, The Citizenry, The Inside and St. Frank - delivering ways for people to more easily make their spaces their own.
One of the ways it does this is by connecting consumers with professional interior designers and product purchase recommendations through the Havenly platform. These consultations put the company ahead of simple visualization services, by making what is typically an inaccessible service affordable to more people.
Along with the sector at large, Havenly Brands has seen a healthy upswing in recent years. As it continues to build out its family of brands, its unique approach to the interior design business could see it win big.
