This is art for living, collecting, and loving forever.
The Forever Curates is the place to shop for original art and design-led pieces for the home. Our focus is on colour-rich, handmade works by artists and makers who celebrate craft, individuality, and emotional connection. From contemporary art and sculpture to ceramics and textiles, every piece is selected for its authenticity and lasting impact. We exist for colour seekers — those who value the story behind the work, and the feeling it brings into a space.

MEET THE MAKER
CC Rhubarb is a studio known for its whimsical, hand-painted antique furniture — especially those unmistakable stripes. Breathing new life into forgotten pieces, turns them into joyful, characterful staples that feel both nostalgic and fresh.

THE ART OF LIVING STYLISHLY
Your home should be your sanctuary — a deeply personal space that mirrors your values, passions, and sense of self. It’s not about mimicking the pages of a magazine or chasing the fleeting promise of “what’s next.” It’s about listening inward, curating outward, and surrounding yourself with pieces that feel like you.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Before The Forever Curates, Karen Thomas built a career buying and curating for global fashion names like Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. Her eye for detail, passion for storytelling and timeless design, laid the foundation for a creative journey that would evolve beyond fashion into the world of art, interiors, and lifestyle.

NEW HORIZONS
What began as a creative outlet during the pandemic—an Instagram page exploring art, design, and daily beauty—quickly attracted a community of like-minded aesthetes. As the audience grew, so did opportunities: partnerships, styling projects, and brand collaborations set the stage for something bigger—an immersive, curated lifestyle destination, championing talented artisan and kindred spirits.
