Named Global 100 Design Business of the Year 2026

The Care Home Interiors Company has been officially announced as the Global 100 Awards Design Business of the Year 2026, marking a significant achievement for the Hampshire-based specialist interiors firm led by CEO Kerry Southern-Reason.

The Global 100 Awards recognise outstanding achievements in business leadership worldwide, celebrating innovators and organisations whose dedication, expertise and forward-thinking approaches are redefining excellence within their industries.

The Care Home Interiors Company has taken the top international design accolade, a reflection of its transformational impact on care-home environments across the UK.

Under Kerry Southern-Reason’s leadership, The Care Home Interiors Company has gained a reputation for delivering interiors that do far more than look beautiful. Her approach blends design insight, manufacturing excellence, and research-informed best practice to create environments that actively support residents living with dementia, frailty and age-related conditions.

Working closely in collaboration with care-home operators, the company creates bespoke interiors tailored to each home including handmade furniture designed and manufactured in-house.

Kerry has long championed the need to move away from the stark, clinical aesthetics historically associated with care settings. Instead, her company’s design ethos prioritises homely, cosy, familiar and safe spaces; interiors that feel deeply personal and reflect the rhythms of everyday domestic life.

The Global 100 judging panel highlighted the company’s consistent innovation, its commitment to solving complex design challenges in the care sector, and its ability to transform lived experiences for older adults.

This international recognition places The Care Home Interiors Company among the world’s leading design innovators and shines a spotlight on the vital importance of thoughtful, research-led interiors within social care.

As the industry continues to evolve, the company’s work demonstrates how design can help people live well, safely and independently during the later seasons of their lives.
