Our aim

We are a small family run business, we offer a bespoke service where we can provide the whole design package from idea generation, through design development, manufacture to ensure that we can remain competitive whilst still manufacturing here in Ipswich.

We aim to produce high quality beautiful timeless pieces of furniture and products with a focus on the environment. We create useful objects or furniture with a fun element or a narrative that adds more intrigue or emotional value to the ideas to ensure longevity. We make high quality gifts using solid European oak and finishing them in Natural oils.

The Birth of Earthome

We started our journey at the bottom of our garden in a little timber shed not long after Sarah fell pregnant for the first time. We needed a way that Joe could use his skills as a designer whilst teaching and make a little extra that would help when Sarah gave up work. So we set about forming Earthome.

We came up with Earthome as it combines our surnames Earley and Thomas (Sarah's maiden name). It also sounded like what we wanted to do which is make beautiful natural products for peoples' homes. We got up and running one Saturday morning after we had a delivery of off cut timber from a local timber merchant. We started making a range of chopping boards and sold them to some local shops and then we applied to notonthehighstreet and that Christmas Breadboard turned out to be our first hit product that started our new venture.
