Featured in Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026

The Care Home Interiors Company is proud to announce that three of its flagship projects; Cotswold Gate, Lea Grange and Barley Manor Care Homes have been featured in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026.

The prestigious guide showcases the UK’s most exceptional care homes, recognising those that set a higher benchmark for later-life living through outstanding design, innovation and resident experience. This recognition reflects the company’s commitment to delivering environments where interior design is not simply aesthetic, but integral to how people live, feel and experience care.

Kerry Southern-Reason, Founder of The Care Home Interiors Company, said: “For me, luxury in care isn’t about creating something that looks impressive. It’s about designing environments that genuinely support people to live well, every single day. When design is done properly, it quietly enhances confidence, independence and overall wellbeing.”

Each home has been designed to support a holistic model of care, offering a choice of environments to suit different moods and needs. From light-filled lounges and cosy TV rooms to cafés, private dining areas, cinemas and gyms, residents are able to shape their day around their preferences.

A key feature across all three homes is the use of intuitive wayfinding, particularly beneficial for residents living with perception difficulties and dementia. Rather than relying on excessive signage, each environment incorporates recognisable visual cues such as furniture and familiar design elements to support navigation and independence.

Sustainability is embedded within the design and delivery of each project. By prioritising UK manufacturing, long-lasting materials and energy-conscious design choices. This approach ensures that sustainability is not an add-on, but a core principle that enhances both operational efficiency and resident experience.

The inclusion of Cotswold Gate, Lea Grange and Barley Manor in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide 2026 highlights a growing recognition that design plays a fundamental role in modern care delivery.

Kerry Southern-Reason added: “These homes demonstrate what’s possible when interior design is treated as part of the care model, not just the finishing touch. It’s about creating places where people feel comfortable, confident and truly at home enabling care to be delivered at its very best.”
