Decorex 2024 Charity Partner
Decorex's bar design for this year draws inspiration from the hummingbird, a symbol of hope, good luck, and the end of challenging times. This symbolism aligns perfectly with the mission of Furnishing Futures, our 2024 charity partner that creates professionally designed, furnished homes for vulnerable women and children who are rehoused in empty flats after escaping abusive relationships.
The hummingbirds in our bar installation will be crafted from bespoke fabric, forming a beautiful flock. By donating a small amount to cover the cost of one hummingbird, you can support these women and children in starting anew. The installation will be donated to Furnishing Futures for their housing projects alongside exhibitor donations.
About Furnishing Futures
Furnishing Futures creates fully furnished, healing homes for survivors who have been rehoused in unfurnished social housing after fleeing domestic abuse. The charity does this by partnering with leading brands and studios from the interiors industry, who donate new or ‘as new’ furniture and accessories that could otherwise have ended up in landfill.
Furnishing Futures provides a range of support from bespoke full home interior design and decoration services for survivors who have been given unfurnished secure social housing tenancies that does not even include flooring or white goods, to individual items of furniture and appliances for women and children in emergency or temporary accommodation.
All Furnishing Futures staff are trained in trauma-informed practice and the charity uses trauma-informed and biophilic design principles to create beautiful, transformative healing homes for women and children to recover in and rebuild their lives from.
Furnishing Futures’ support increases women and children’s physical and psychological safety, reduces poverty and supports physical and emotional wellbeing.
The charity was founded by interior designer and social worker Emily Wheeler in 2019, and is based in Leyton in East London.
