Hey, I’m Holly—owner and creator of Ilex Home! I started this venture in 2021 after exploring creative self-employment, and it has since grown from crafting macramé plant hangers in my living room to designing handmade home decor in my West Yorkshire art studio. Today, I create a range of one-of-a-kind jesmonite designs, trading at artisan markets across the UK.

Over the years, my work has taken many forms—from houseplant accessories to Pride-inspired rainbows to functional art that helps organise the home. The common thread? A love for bold, expressive decor that reflects individual style. I believe your home should be a sanctuary, a space that feels like your own, and my goal is to craft pieces that help make it feel even more special.

You can find me trading at artisan markets in Leeds, Sheffield, York, Manchester, and Liverpool—a huge part of my journey! Markets allow me to connect with customers face-to-face, hear your thoughts, and refine my designs based on real feedback.

I hope you find something here that sparks joy—or even the perfect thoughtful gift for a loved one!
