BB Designs (previously Bee Brand Designs) emerged in 2020 with a bold mission: to redefine interior design through sustainable practices. Founded by Ashleigh and Mikey, our company is driven by a shared passion for creativity and environmental responsibility. From our base in West Yorkshire, we craft spaces that inspire and prioritise sustainability, serving B2B clients in workspace growth for offices, as well as retail stores, restaurants, bars and hotels in the hospitality sector.

Our founders, Ashleigh and Mikey, bring a wealth of expertise in bespoke furniture and interior design to the table. Their combined passion for sustainable practices drives our team forward, shaping our approach to every project we undertake.

We are more than just designers – we’re advocates for change. As a sustainable interior design and build firm, we specialise in tackling large-scale commercial and retail spaces. Each project is meticulously planned and executed with a focus on minimising environmental impact. From the sourcing of materials to the construction process, we prioritise sustainability at every step.

Our commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of our work. Each project is designed with a low carbon footprint and high quality finish in mind, utilising reclaimed materials and non-toxic finishes to ensure that our designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally friendly.
