Simply Living is the creation of Brigitte Fraser, an Austrian who has been living in England for more than 20 years having married an Englishman and raised two children here. Brigitte founded an interior design business in 1992, operating initially from her home.
She quickly ran out of space and moved the business to a retail unit just outside Colchester. As part of her interior design service, Brigitte was often asked to try and find furniture, lighting and accessories to complement her customers’ rooms. This prompted her to open her own shop where she could showcase some of her favourite finds.
Simply Living opened in 2002 and has quietly flourished through word of mouth recommendation as being a shop full of pretty and stylish items. Then in September 2009 Simply Living relocated to 89 Crouch Street where bigger premises have enabled Brigitte to expand the range of furniture on show. The website reflects Simply Living’s ethos of being able to buy chic and affordable accessories for traditional and contemporary homes. We hope you enjoy browsing through the website.
Happy shopping!
