About

My name is Aminat, and I am the proud owner and artisan behind this unique venture. I was born in South East London in the 80's to a single mother of 3 making ends meet. My very humble beginnings meant I spent a lot of my early years in survival mode and adapting to an ever changing environment. Creativity was always a huge escape for me and I dabbled in many crafts. Though I found many arts I identified with, like Art, Poetry, Acting and Fashion Design to name a few, nothing really ignited a true passion. This led me to explore various careers, but none truly resonated with that creative spirit. I had a family of my own to support so breaking free from the corporate world I found myself in was scary to me. After all, history had repeated itself and I was a single mum of 3! Being the sole parent to 3 dependants also meant I had to do it all. The cooking, the laundry, the cleaning and the DIY. That and finding every solution I could find on YouTube eventually led to me discovering my passion for woodworking. I now have a new lesson to teach the little faces watching me and that is no matter who you are, where you come from or what you have, you can achieve your dreams too.


~ Our Mission ~

At Home Sweet Noir, our mission is to bridge the gap between functionality and art. We believe that the everyday items we use can and should be beautiful, custom, and aesthetically pleasing. Each piece we make is crafted from scratch, ensuring that it reflects both quality and artistry. We take great care in sourcing the best quality materials available, selecting woods and finishes that not only enhance the beauty of our creations but also guarantee their durability. Our aim is to create items that will last and be cherished, passed down through generations.

At Home Sweet Noir, we specialise in handcrafted sustainable and environmentally friendly one off pieces that elevate your living spaces. Our passion for artistry and quality craftsmanship shines through in every piece we create. We believe that your home should reflect your unique style and personality without compromise, and our curated collection is designed to do just that.

One of the standout techniques we employ is called Shou Sugi Ban, or Yakisugi. This traditional Japanese method involves charring the surface of wood to enhance its natural beauty and durability. The process not only creates striking textures and patterns but also significantly increases the wood's resistance to weather, pests, and decay. As a result, our products are not only visually stunning but also built to last.

While this meticulous technique may make our prices slightly higher, the investment is well worth it. You’re not just purchasing furniture; you're acquiring a timeless piece of art that combines functionality with heritage. At Home Sweet Noir, we are committed to delivering exceptional quality and craftsmanship that you can cherish for years to come. Discover the beauty and durability of our creations and transform your home into a sanctuary of style and elegance.

What brings me the most joy is seeing people enjoy the items I create. Knowing that my work adds beauty and functionality to your home inspires me every day. I invite you to explore our collection and discover how Home Sweet Noir can bring a touch of elegance and creativity to your space.
