Restoration Hardware, now simply RH, is the look that took over the American luxury home: oversized, neutral, Belgian-linen calm, sold through Galleries the size of museums. It barely reaches the UK, and its most-loved pieces are also its most copied. Every RH piece here is a genuine original, not a dupe, authenticated and restored, then delivered across the UK in 1 to 5 days. Originals only.
Restoration Hardware (RH): American Design in the UK
Restoration Hardware was founded in California in 1979, when Stephen Gordon began selling high-quality fittings he could not find while restoring an old house. It grew into America's defining luxury home company, renamed simply RH in 2012, known for vast Galleries, Outlets and a members' model rather than ordinary stores. Its aesthetic, oversized, tactile and quietly neutral, shaped a decade of interiors.
RH sells almost entirely across North America, with only a handful of European Galleries, so getting the real thing in the UK has meant shipping, duties and long waits. It is also one of the most copied looks in furniture: the deep, slipcovered sofas in particular are endlessly imitated. The difference between an RH original and a lookalike is real, in the frame, the fill and the linen.
REHAUS closes that gap. Every original here is a genuine RH piece, authenticated and restored, already in the UK and delivered in 1 to 5 days, well below the price of new and with none of the import wait. Design doesn't depreciate. The Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial mean reduced risk on furniture built to be lived on. Browse the originals.
Restoration Hardware: frequently asked questions
What is Restoration Hardware?
Restoration Hardware is an American luxury home company founded in California in 1979 and renamed RH in 2012. It is known for oversized, neutral, tactile furniture sold through enormous Galleries and Outlets rather than ordinary stores, and for an aesthetic, deep slipcovered sofas and industrial-leaning dining and lighting, that shaped a decade of interiors.
What is the difference between Restoration Hardware and RH?
They are the same company. Restoration Hardware rebranded to RH in 2012 as it moved upmarket into full luxury, and now trades and operates under the RH name. Older pieces may carry Restoration Hardware labelling and newer ones RH, but both are the same brand, and both are what REHAUS authenticates and sells.
Can you buy Restoration Hardware in the UK?
Only just. RH sells almost entirely in North America and has only recently reached the UK through a single Gallery, so buying new usually means importing, with duties and long lead times. REHAUS is the simpler route: genuine RH originals that are already in the UK, authenticated, restored and delivered in 1 to 5 days.
Where can I buy authentic, pre-owned Restoration Hardware in the UK?
REHAUS sells authenticated, original Restoration Hardware in the UK. Every piece is checked to confirm it is genuine RH rather than a lookalike, restored where needed, and delivered nationwide in 1 to 5 days, with the Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial. Stock changes often, since each piece is one of one.
How do I know my RH is genuine and not a dupe?
RH's most popular pieces are also the most copied, so this matters. Genuine RH furniture is identifiable by its construction, labelling and materials, the frame, the fill and the specific linens, which differ from the lookalikes. REHAUS authenticates every piece against these before listing, so you are buying the real thing, not an approximation of it.
How much is Restoration Hardware, new versus pre-owned?
New, RH is priced at the top of the market, and in the UK that price usually comes with import costs and a wait. A pre-owned original at REHAUS, authenticated and restored, typically costs well below new, is already in the country, and is ready to deliver in 1 to 5 days. The difference reflects buying the original second time around, not a discount on a copy.
How is it delivered, and can I return it?
Each piece is delivered across the UK in 1 to 5 days, with white-glove delivery complimentary on qualifying orders. Every order comes with a 30-day home trial, so you can live with it before committing. If it is not right, returns are straightforward. Because each piece is one of one, it is only truly yours once it has shipped.
Why buy Restoration Hardware from REHAUS?
REHAUS sells originals only, never the lookalikes RH is so often copied by. Every piece is genuine RH, authenticated, restored to a high standard, and already in the UK, delivered fast with the Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial. You get the real American design without the import, the wait, or the doubt.
