    Our Story

    Luxury is
    in the detail

    So are we.

    Our Philosophy

    For more than 25 years, we’ve helped hoteliers with sourcing and selection, bespoke product development and complete project support.

    The Beginning

    Born from hospitality

    Built for hoteliers.

    Interior Images began in 1998 with founder Val Houston and a simple advantage: she understood hospitality from the inside.

    Having been a hotelier herself, Val knew that sourcing for a property was about far more than finding beautiful products. It was about knowing what a hotel actually needs — and finding solutions that deliver on brand, guest experience and quality while standing up to the realities of a working property.

    That understanding shaped Interior Images from the beginning. What started as a specialist hospitality supplier grew through relationships, recommendations and a willingness to solve problems when something couldn't simply be ordered from a catalogue.

    More than 25 years later, that same thinking remains at the heart of the business: understand the property, understand the guest, then create the right solution.

    Our Approach

    More than a supplier.

    Your hospitality partner, from concept to delivery.

    Every property is different. That’s why we start by understanding yours - your brand, your guests, your operational requirements, your budget and the experience you want to create.

    From there, we can guide as much of the process as you need. For new hotel openings, refurbishments and existing properties, our team can help determine what’s required, recommend the right products and specifications, source across categories, develop bespoke solutions and project manage the process through to delivery. Need something that doesn’t already exist? We can help create it. Our product development capability allows us to work with clients on bespoke products, custom amenity programs and signature scents designed specifically for a property or brand. From the initial idea through development, sampling, production and delivery, our team provides the experience and guidance to bring it together. We know the questions to ask, the details that can be overlooked and the practical considerations that matter once a product enters a working hotel. Whether you need one product, an entire program or an experienced partner to help guide a project from start to finish, we tailor our involvement to what you need. We hold stock across multiple locations and deliver promptly and cost-effectively, so supply never gets in the way of the guest experience. And our relationship doesn’t end when the project is delivered. We’re here for the long term - responsive, knowledgeable and ready to help as your property and guest experience evolve.

    What Guides Us

    Our Values

    01

    Relationships

    Business built personally. The strongest partnerships are built over time. We listen, advise and work alongside our clients - from independent properties and new openings to major hotel groups - with the same commitment to personal, dependable service.

    02

    Expertise

    Experience you can draw on. More than 25 years in hospitality gives us the experience to do more than supply products. We help clients navigate decisions, solve challenges, develop new ideas and turn a brief into a solution that works beautifully in the real world.

    03

    Responsibility

    Better choices, thoughtfully made. We help our clients make more considered choices through refillable solutions, reduced packaging, responsible materials and locally made products — supporting broader sustainability and corporate ESG goals without compromising the guest experience.
