Difference is part of the rich fabric of Dowsing & Reynolds. We like to think differently, and we embrace being different. Our business brims with neurally diverse individuals including the co-founders James and Ally. Ally is ADHD and James Autistic, ADHD and Dyslexic. We have a thriving LGBTQ+ community. No one here needs to hide from who they truly are.
The diversity of experience and thinking this provides enables us to do business differently.
We choose to make a difference in people’s lives – from our staff enjoying their day at work to our customers flicking on a beautifully designed light switch at home.
What is D&R…
Dowsing & Reynolds, or D&R for short, designs and curates beautiful home décor products to help you create a home you love. A home décor company founded in 2013 on family values and friendships.
Designed in Yorkshire
Most of our products start their life as an idea in the mind of our co-founder James Dowsing-Reynolds. These ideas come to fruition in his purpose-built design studio with the support of his experienced team.
They aim to give you stylish architectural design details that feel tactile, look beautiful and function brilliantly in your space.
How did we get here
D&R is a company launched almost by accident. It’s been a wild and exciting journey beginning back in 2012 with a burnt-out James wanting a different lifestyle, his encouraging wife Ally, concrete sculptures and vintage lightbulbs.
Fast-forward to a team of 60+, a design studio and in-house manufacturing (still involving concrete).
