Showroom Spotlight: A Look Inside the Transformed Tom Howley Wigmore Street Showroom
Nestled in the heart of London, our flagship showroom on Wigmore Street has been a symbol of bespoke design and timeless elegance for over a decade. Following an exciting transformation, this iconic space now reflects our evolving vision for modern living.
The showroom celebrates the craftsmanship and innovation synonymous with Tom Howley, offering an inspiring glimpse into how bespoke design can enhance your home. From stunning kitchens to multi-functional storage spaces and luxurious bedrooms, the newly renovated Wigmore Street showroom epitomises how thoughtful design can elevate everyday living.
A Design Philosophy Rooted in Lifestyle
Drawing on over 20 years of design expertise, the revamped showroom was inspired by the growing demand for multi-functional spaces. Post-pandemic living has redefined how we use our homes, and this transformation reflects that shift by creating interiors that are versatile, functional and highly personalised.
Creative Design Director, Tom Howley, describes the renovated basement as a harmonious blend of spaces designed to inspire the perfect lifestyle. Neutral tones, warm timbers, and elegant brass accents create a calming atmosphere throughout, reflecting recent client preferences and the latest trends from global showcases like EuroCucina.

With Tudor Oak finishes, burnished brass knob handles, and Calacatta Gold worktops, these spaces are truly a retreat from the everyday. In the bedroom:
- A beautifully upholstered, buttoned headboard provides a sense of grandeur and intimacy.

Meet the Team
At the heart of the newly transformed Wigmore Street showroom is our passionate team of design experts, who bring creativity, knowledge, and a personal touch to every client experience. We recently caught up with some team members about the transformation, their roles, and what makes this showroom unique.
Paul Wilson, Wigmore Street Showroom Manager –
Which part of the renovation are you most excited to reveal?
“The bedroom setting is my absolute favourite—it’s quintessential Tom Howley luxury. From the upholstered headboard to the Tudor Oak bedside furniture, every detail exudes elegance. And the walk-in closet? It’s a dream come true! I’ll admit, I have a little bit of bedroom envy.
The new kitchen display reimagines the ‘heart of the home,’ featuring built-in island seating, a media wall, and a bar area ideal for social gatherings.”
Emily Grundy, Sales Manager –
What sets the Wigmore Street showroom apart from others?
“The showroom now showcases all six Tom Howley ranges, allowing every client to explore a wide variety of styles and make well-informed decisions for their cabinetry.
Our central London location is another standout feature. Being just around the corner from Oxford Street and so close to everything London has to offer, clients often combine their showroom visit with other activities. The location makes it incredibly convenient, whether it’s seeing a morning exhibition or heading to the theatre in the evening.
It’s also ideal for clients working with interior designers. Our proximity to other suppliers means designers and clients can visit multiple locations in one day, making the design process seamless and enjoyable.
One of the most exciting aspects of the renovation is the opportunity to show clients a fully cohesive style for their entire home. In the past, we’ve talked about additional rooms with clients, but now we can physically walk them through how it all comes together.
The basement has been designed to feel less like a showroom and more like a beautifully installed project in a client’s home. This allows us to demonstrate how a Tom Howley kitchen—and the surrounding spaces—work in everyday life, from functional details to moments of luxury.”
