A Personal Journey to Success
Founded in 2024 by Hannah Boffey, Livava Home offers a curated selection of stylish home accessories and decor. The brand’s success stems from its dedication to helping customers create warm, characterful, and inviting living spaces. Ms Boffey shared that the business originated from a deeply personal place, finding solace and joy in renovating and interior design following a challenging period in her life.
"Winning this award means a great deal to me and my family," Ms Boffey stated.
