Meet the wonderful Lee Thornley...
We chat to Lee Thornley – founder of Bert & May tiles – about his stunning house renovation, his love of reclaimed materials and the importance of expressing yourself in your home interior design. And we've even been treated to a discount code to share! Use code POOKY10 for 10% off your next Bert & May tiles purchase*. Now let's dive in...
What is it like to live in the finished house?
[meet the interior designer – lee thornley]
"It’s great! The most important thing is it creates an emotion as soon as you walk in. People say ‘wow’ when they enter it, and very often they’ll say something along the lines of it feeling very ‘foreign’.
It’s a healthy space to live in. In this part of the world we have our seasons of short, dark days, and we have to make the very most of what natural light and warmth we do get: this house does that."

What makes Bert & May tiles special?
"All our colours are natural pigments. They’re colours that have been around for centuries, so they’ve stood the test of time. When you buy them you can be confident and know that they’re an investment. We’ve already done the work for you in sourcing timeless colours and tiles that you can pass down the generations."
Finally, do you have a favourite Pooky light, and if so, why that one?
[meet the interior designer – lee thornley]
"I’ve known Pooky for a long time – with our stores we’ve been neighbours in Chelsea’s design quarter for years. It’s tricky but if I had to pick one I’d go with the Pumpkin glass pendant lights, which I have hanging in a trio over the dining table."
