Returning to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is always a privilege, but 2026 felt particularly special for us at Boon. This year marked our second consecutive year in the same location, giving us the opportunity to build on last year’s success and further establish our presence at one of the most celebrated events in horticulture and outdoor living.
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show continues to be an extraordinary meeting point for design, craftsmanship and innovation. This year’s show brought together inspiring gardens, makers and brands from across the industry, with a strong focus on sustainability, wellbeing and beautifully considered spaces designed for modern living. As always, Chelsea proved to be far more than a flower show — it remains a showcase for the very best in British creativity and craftsmanship.
For 2026, we wanted to create something that reflected how people increasingly want to live: thoughtfully, beautifully and with flexibility. The result was the Chelsea Cabin — a fully designed and built one-bedroom cabin showcasing what premium modular living can look like when craftsmanship and detail come first.
Featured at Chelsea for the very first time, the Chelsea Cabin is a refined version of one of our most loved builds: our one-bedroom cabin concept. Clad internally and externally in reclaimed timber, the cabin featured a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, living space and sleeping area, designed to feel less like a garden building and more like a boutique retreat. Complete with double-glazed windows, a feature barn door and wood-burning stove, the intention was simple: to demonstrate that compact living does not mean compromising on comfort, quality or character.
Collaboration is an important part of everything we do, and Chelsea 2026 gave us the opportunity to work alongside a brilliant group of brands who helped bring the Chelsea Cabin to life. We were delighted to collaborate with The Water Monopoly, who showcased the beautiful Rockwell Bath alongside Billi taps, helping create a bathroom space that balanced practicality with statement design. Throughout the cabin, Corston Architectural Detail supplied fixtures and fittings, adding the timeless finishing touches that elevated every space. Soft furnishings from GJ&P Baker brought warmth, texture and character, helping transform the cabin into a truly lived-in environment.
One of the proudest moments of the week was receiving a 5 Star Trade Stand Award, recognising the quality, design and execution of our space. To be recognised at Chelsea — among some of the most respected makers and brands in the country — is something we are incredibly proud of, and a testament to the hard work of our team and collaborators.
Most importantly, Chelsea gave us the chance to speak to so many wonderful visitors, clients and fellow makers throughout the week. Seeing people step into the Chelsea Cabin and immediately understand what Boon is about — craftsmanship, considered design and spaces that feel genuinely special — made all the months of planning worthwhile.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, supported us, and helped bring this year’s stand to life. We are incredibly proud of what was achieved and already looking forward to what comes next.
