Meet this month’s first guest

North Home – Co-Owner Kamil

Living in the UK for over 20 years and in Leeds for nearly a decade, Kamil has always balanced a love of hospitality with a passion for interiors. After studying psychology and hospitality at university, he built a career in restaurants and coffee shops before co-founding the award-winning Leeds restaurant Fettle in 2016 (later rebranded as FINT).

It was in Fettle that the idea for North Home was born. What started as a couple of shelves of crockery and tableware, inspired by customer requests, grew into an entire wall of curated design pieces by 2019. By the end of that year, Kamil and his partner decided to split the concept into its own business. Launching online at the start of 2020, North Home opened its first dedicated store in Leeds’ Victoria Gate that Christmas. Originally planned as a two-month pop-up, the store stayed for over a year before moving to its permanent home in the historic County Arcade in 2024.

Though self-taught in interiors, Kamil’s love for design runs deep. As a teenager, he helped his parents design the family home, and later in London he built lasting friendships with designers such as Vivienne Hayman, travelling with them to international shows in France. That lifelong appreciation of style and detail is at the heart of North Home: a concept store where people can see what’s possible for their own spaces while enjoying a glass of wine, coffee, or something new.

Entrepreneurial, creative, and warm, Kamil has a natural flair for spotting trends and creating spaces people want to spend time in. Outside of work, he’s a music lover with a particular passion for Róisín Murphy.
