OVERVIEW.
This year, our focus has been on purposeful growth, driven by significant brand investment, continuous product innovation, and a deeper commitment to our communities. Alongside successful trade events and product launches, we have proudly expanded our charitable partnerships and initiatives. As we look toward 2026, we are excited to build on this momentum by introducing new products and continuing to grow alongside our valued customers and communities.
At Riva Home, 2025 has been all about growth, innovation, and giving back. Between a packed events calendar, investing in our brands, and developing new products, we’ve also made it a priority to support charities and make a positive impact in everything we do.
Throughout the year, we have strengthened our charitable efforts, placing community and responsibility at the core of our business. This year saw the continuation and expansion of initiatives designed to raise funds, awareness, and meaningful support.
Key highlights included our sample sales, Pink Day, and our decision to support two new charity partners, St Gemma’s Hospice and Mind. We’re also continuing our partnership with Martin House, which began in February 2024. In addition to active fundraising, we contribute 1p for every unit sold, donate stock to their charity shops, and provide soft furnishings to support their new facility.
These initiatives, backed by our teams and trade partners, reflect our belief that success should be shared. For us at Riva, giving back isn’t a one-off event, it’s an ongoing commitment that guides how we grow.
Alongside our charitable focus, 2025 was a busy year for us! We welcomed our trade customers to our SS25 VIP Open House in January, where new Spring/Summer and Outdoor collections were introduced alongside a preview of AW25.
At Spring Fair in February, we showcased Sanderson & Morris, unveiled new Outdoor and SS25 ranges, and connected with partners across the industry. Customers also joined us for our AW25 VIP Open House and INDX in September, where we presented AW25 newness, including Christmas and Cosy ranges, while offering an early look at SS26.
2025 also marked significant investment across our brand portfolio. The Furn rebrand, launched in February, was supported by refreshed packaging across the range to deliver a more cohesive and elevated brand presence. With the rebrand of our bestselling Meridian cushion now part of Furn’s core essentials, we’ve made our product range even clearer and more consistent across the brand.
This year, we kept our focus on product development with some exciting launches and range expansions. We introduced Yard Bathroom and Rugs, expanded our curtain and throws collections, and rolled out new fabric pattern books to give customers more resources and better support.
As we move into 2026, we remain committed to growing with purpose, continuing to invest in charitable initiatives while further enhancing both the customer experience and our product offering. A key development for the year ahead will be the launch of Riva Home Trade Portal 2.0 as well as our self-service portal, designed to deliver greater transparency and flexibility. This enhanced platform will provide more options for when items can be ordered, clearer visibility of expected delivery dates, improved transparency around order status, and the ability to download invoices both individually and in bulk.
In 2026, we’re excited to be adding fresh, innovative products to our offering! These new designs are thoughtfully crafted to fit perfectly with our current collections, bringing you stylish and practical solutions. It’s all part of our commitment to helping our brands grow and thrive. Come check them out in person at our SS26 Open House from January 12th to 21st. We can’t wait to show you what’s new!
2025 has been a year of meaningful progress, combining strong commercial performance with a renewed focus on giving back. As we look ahead to 2026, we thank our customers for their continued support and look forward to growing together, with charity, community, and collaboration firmly at the heart of everything we do.
So, from all of us here at Riva Home, thank you for a wonderful year, and we look forward to continuing to grow with you in 2026!
