In Bermuda, interior projects are shaped by more than aesthetics alone. Climate, logistics and long lead times mean that every decision carries weight, and experience matters. SALT was created to simplify the process, offering a curated space where homeowners and design professionals can view, compare and source interior finishes with confidence.
Founded in 2017 by Jacob Hocking and Lauren Grayston, SALT began as a cabinetry showroom featuring Christiana Cabinetry and Miralis. The concept grew naturally out of more than two decades of hands-on work designing, supplying and installing cabinetry and interior finishes through their design studio. Over time, recurring challenges became clear: fragmented sourcing, limited access to samples, and difficulty visualising how individual elements would work together once installed.
Today, SALT operates as a supply-focused interior finishing showroom, bringing together millwork, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, tile, flooring, lighting, countertops, furniture, soft furnishings and artwork from both overseas and trusted local suppliers in one curated space. The goal is not to overwhelm, but to provide a clear and practical way for clients and design professionals to see materials together and make informed decisions.
SALT’s primary role is as a sourcing and supply resource. Clients typically begin with a showroom meeting to outline what they are looking to source and any constraints they are working within, either independently or alongside their designer. For standard products such as plumbing fixtures, lighting, tile or ready-made vanities, the team provides landed cost pricing and lead-time estimates. Cabinetry and millwork projects follow a more detailed process, with layouts and finish selections guided by drawings, and site measuring and design services available if a client chooses to use them.
What distinguishes SALT in Bermuda’s small and complex market is depth of experience and local understanding. The team brings more than seventy years of combined experience across interior design, sourcing and installation, which informs not only aesthetic decisions but also how products perform over time. In Bermuda’s tough environment, materials must be selected for where and how they will be used, whether interior or exterior, sun-exposed or protected. Products are chosen with longevity in mind, and nothing is recommended unless the team is confident it will hold up well locally.
Timelines and budgets are addressed early and realistically. Straightforward projects using ready-made cabinetry can move from design sign-off to delivery in as little as four weeks. More customised kitchens typically require a minimum of three months to allow for planning, production and shipping. Clear communication throughout the process helps ensure expectations are aligned from the outset.
Cost drivers are approached with the same transparency. Changes made after ordering remain one of the biggest contributors to increased cost, which is why the team at SALT considers it critical to establish priorities from the outset. Customisation level and major finish selections also influence budgets. Recently, tariffs have begun to affect pricing. SALT continues to work closely with its vendors and seek out new supplier relationships to help mitigate these impacts.
SALT’s portfolio includes both new builds and renovations. The work is evenly split across residential and commercial sectors, reflecting the broad role the showroom plays within the local design and construction community. Looking ahead to 2026, the team sees continued demand in favour of customisation and high-quality products that balance visual impact with durability and lifespan in Bermuda’s environment.
When asked to recount a standout project, rather than pointing to a single job, the SALT team speaks to the consistency of its collective body of work. Across new builds and renovations, often shaped by real-world constraints such as budget, logistics and environment, the focus remains consistent—thoughtful sourcing, informed decision-making and homes that are stylish, functional spaces that clients are happy to wake up to every day.
