Our Story

Thoughtfully curated, with a love for both timeless and joyful design

French Grey was founded in 2006 by Sally Marks, born from a long-standing love of interiors and the belief that our homes should reflect how we truly live.

I created French Grey to curate pieces that feel considered, characterful and easy to live with - whether that's something timeless and neutral, or a piece that brings colour, personality and joy into a space.

Our approach

I've always believed the best homes are layered and personal.

At French Grey, our collections balance classic design with more trend-led finds. Alongside natural materials, soft textures and calming tones, you'll also find playful colour, modern shapes and pieces that feel current and uplifting.

I don't follow trends for the sake of it, but I do love introducing fresh ideas that sit beautifully alongside more timeless favourites.

Inspired by the Cotswolds, but not limited by it

Living and working in the Cotswolds shapes everything I do.

The landscape, the slower pace of life and the character of old stone buildings all influence the way I curate our collections. That sense of warmth and authenticity sits at the heart of French Grey — always balanced with a love of evolving interiors and modern living.

My aim is simple: to help you create a home that feels welcoming, relaxed and full of personality.

A small, woman-founded business

French Grey is proudly founded and run by women, and remains a small independent business with three beloved stores in the Cotswolds.

I'm involved in every part of the process, from sourcing and styling to packing and sending your orders. Supporting small businesses truly makes a difference, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to shop with us.

Thank you for being here

Whether you're searching for something special or simply browsing for inspiration, I hope French Grey feels like a welcoming place to explore.

Thank you for supporting my small business.
