Baileys Barn has shabby chic home interiors hand curated by Neil and the Bailey family tucked away in a corner of Wistow Rural Centre. It’s near the entrance but easy to miss for first timers. Make a point of visiting you will not be disappointed.

I love home interiors, textiles, soft furnishings and the main stream offering in high street stores is all the same for me and not the best quality. Why I like to shop at Baileys Barn an off shoot from Baileys Garden centre, a super cute interiors store which reflects the modern English country vibe.

It’s Christmas at Baileys Barn at Wistow Rural Centre and there’s not a better time to visit for me if you want to see something hand picked and good quality. This gorgeous home interiors emporium where you will find one of a kind pieces and beautiful furniture made to order goes up a level at this time of year, no better way to merchandise Christmas than in a store full of gorgeous furniture and homeware accessories from lamps, to mirrors to picture frames.

My absolute favourite space at Baileys Barn, a family run business for over 26 years is the rug room, I love a handmade carpet, everything about them from the smell of the vegetable dyes to the feel of a Persian carpet underfoot. Whether it’s an Afghan or morrocan Kilim rug you are searching for to finish off your kitchen or something more luscious under foot Baileys have an excellent selection in a variety of sizes to work into your space.

The prices are around the same as say John Lewis, so not cheap but I think good value for shop for life pieces. This is not disposable home furnishings you keep for a couple of years and then change up.

You can tell why this business has endured for almost three decades. It’s a wonderful place to have a nosey and browse, get creative inspiration even if you are not quite ready to shop.
