Ray and Paul Interiors, a distinguished family business founded by Ray Shaw and his son Paul, has built a strong reputation over the years for its commitment to quality and exceptional service.
Currently managed by brother and sister team Mark Shaw and Kim Short, the business continues to uphold the values that have made it a household name.
Mark and Kim are dedicated to continuing the tradition of excellence, ensuring that Ray and Paul Interiors offers a truly comprehensive interior design service. They work with carefully selected and dependable partners to supply the best fabrics, wallpapers, soft furnishings, furniture, carpets, and floor coverings.
With 40 years of experience, Mark has witnessed many home fashion trends come and go. However, some principles remain constant: quality products and services, attention to detail, and a commitment to helping customers achieve their vision. “We turn houses into homes,” says Mark. “You can’t always change your room, but you can change how it looks. You can have a blank canvas, and we can turn your room into something amazing.”


Ray and Paul Interiors prides itself on offering a bespoke service, working closely with clients to understand their tastes and aspirations. Their in-house crafted curtains and blinds, often completed within seven days, ensure a perfect fit and great value for money “Ultimately, it is up to the client what they want, but we want to make sure that we give them the right guidance and ensure they achieve the look and feel they want in their home,” Mark adds.
Clients are invited to visit the spacious, friendly, and inspirational showroom, which boasts one of the largest selections of fabrics in the area, along with a wide range of carpets and flooring. Following an initial consultation with a design specialist, customers can receive home visits where samples are brought to see how they look in situ. If the customer decides to proceed, Ray and Paul Interiors handles everything from measuring, making, to fitting.
Window dressings have evolved significantly over the years, and Ray and Paul Interiors offers a wide range, including wooden, faux wood-effect blinds, plantation-style shutters, Venetian blinds, roller blinds, Roman blinds, and more. Mark highlights the increasing popularity of motorised blinds, which are not only convenient but also safer than traditional cords and pulls.


With the rise of smart home technology, Ray and Paul Interiors also provides voice-activated curtains and blinds that can be controlled via Google or Alexa. These can be timed to open and close, adding convenience and security to your home. Mark pointed out that the prices for motorized blinds have recently dropped, making them an attractive option.
Blackout fabrics can significantly reduce light, ensuring a good night's sleep, while thermal curtains help regulate temperature, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which can also help reduce energy bills.
While laminates, wooden floors, and high-spec LVT remain popular, there's a growing interest in carpets for their warmth and low maintenance. Ray and Paul Interiors offers a wide range of flooring options to suit every preference, style, and budget. Wallpaper is also experiencing a resurgence, particularly for feature walls that create bold statements and focal points in a room. Customers are becoming more adventurous with deep, bold colours and trending combinations like black and gold or blue and copper.
