Candy Queen Designs was established in 2003 By Karoline Mileham.

A designer and maker from the South East of England, Karoline has a 1st Class Hons Degree in Art and Design. The ´Candy Queen' concept was born in 2003. Fed up with the amount of mundane ‘white’ room accessories available and with a love of making and creating Karoline designed and made a small range of ‘Candy’ inspired light switches and matching cupboard knobs in her parents garden shed.

Eight years on and the range has grown incredibly and outgrown it’s ‘Candy’ name. Every single light switch and cupboard knob is still handmade in Hertfordshire by Karoline, her family and her team of makers, at the ‘Candy Queen’ workshop in a listed barn on a farm.

Karoline thrives on making and is constantly working on new ideas in the workshop and creating all sorts of weird and wonderful items. Like a Magpie is drawn to silver Karoline swoops on all things brightly coloured and has a passion for plastic!
