Stourbridge homeware business wins national small business award

The company, which sells a range of stylish home accessories and décor, was founded in 2024 by local Stourbridge business owner Hannah Boffey and has been recognised for its thoughtful approach to home styling and its focus on helping customers create spaces filled with warmth and character.

The stylish brand was born from a very personal story and the name brings together two special children who shaped its values. Liv was the baby daughter of Hannah’s best friend who sadly passed away at six months old from a rare neurological condition, and Ava is Hannah’s own daughter who joined the family through adoption after a long journey with infertility. Their names come together to represent love, warmth and hope, which sit at the heart of the brand. It was during this period that Hannah found comfort in decorating and styling her home, which eventually inspired her to set up a business selling carefully selected accessories, decor and products for the home.

Since launching in 2024, the business has gone from strength to strength with Livava Home, having grown a significant online following this year, rising from 2,000 followers to more than 84,000 on Instagram (@livava.home). This growth has been driven by a number of Hannah’s styling reels, featuring the brand’s products, which have caught the attention of viewers across the UK and helped introduce her homeware to a wider audience.

Hannah Boffey, from Livava Home, said: “Winning this award means a great deal to me and my family. Livava Home began as something very personal to me following a challenging chapter in life where I had found comfort and joy through renovating and interiors. I wanted to make it easier for others to find pieces that make their own homes feel special and bring them joy, at an affordable price.

“To receive national recognition within 18 months of setting up is something I’m incredibly proud of. This award is a real boost for a small business like mine. I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported Livava Home so far and I hope this recognition encourages even more people to discover what we do.”

The Small Business Awards have been running for ten years and shine a light on independent companies making an impact across their industries. This year’s programme celebrates businesses from marketing and wellness to clean energy and property services.

The winners reflect the strength and determination of small businesses across the UK, with a strong ability to stay connected to customers and industry developments while delivering a personal and trusted service.
