You can now visit our store in person to take a look around, to chat to the team, for a design consultation or to pick up your order using our Call & Collect service.
If you’re not ready to venture out just yet though, you can still book a virtual appointment for our Kitchen & Home Design Services or to explore our designs from home with the expert help of our team.
A warm welcome
Neptune Colchester has been in Stanway since January 2015. Part of the Neptune family of home lifestyle stores it offers two floors of beautiful home designs. From kitchens to bathrooms, bedrooms to gardens, living, dining, office, home décor and accessories.
Surrounded by eateries it is often mistaken for a fish restaurant, but behind the glass sliding doors you will find design inspiration for every aspect of your home.
In all of our stores we try to include as many of our designs as possible, but to give you a better idea of what you can find within the confines of Neptune Colchester, just keep scrolling…
Virtual store tour
Who you'll meet
We want people to feel like they’re coming to a friend’s house. That’s how we want you to feel when you drop in to Neptune Colchester. It’s all very relaxed and cheery with lots of conversation. You’ll probably meet Jasper, who runs the show along with store leader Danielle (who is also our home designer) and Andy. Then there’s Andrew and Paula – our kitchen designers – and five home specialists who know every Neptune design inside-out and will help with anything you need. We’ve got a curtain-maker and a painter in the team – we’re a creative bunch!
On display
All four of our kitchen collections are waiting to be explored so you can get a real feel for every aspect from cabinet design to worktops. You’ll find that each one is set side by side with a living or dining space so that you can see how they work together, be it in a city apartment, contemporary townhouse or country cottage.
Inside Neptune Colchester you’ll find nine of our most-loved dining tables with perfectly paired dining chairs, all dressed with a small selection of our tabletop pieces like pure linen tablecloths and hand-made crockery.
We’ve filled Neptune Colchester with a beautiful edit of our furniture collections, spanning the entire design spectrum from classic to contemporary. You can also explore home accessories that translate to any room, helping it to feel warm, welcoming and perfectly in balance.
In our bedrooms, you’ll discover serene and restful decorating ideas, capacious wardrobes and chests of drawers, and blissfully soft, Portuguese-made cotton and linen bedding. Then there’s our solid timber beds, of course, upholstered headboards and handmade, natural mattress Barrington. And like in our living rooms, trying them out for yourself is most definitely encouraged.
Next door to our bedrooms, you’ll also often find dressing areas and washrooms. This is where you can discover our natural timber and Carrara marble washstands, our made-in-the-UK bath & body collections, and our elegant storage solutions to help you create a calm and welcoming bathroom.
Our in-store design library is the place that you can really get to know all our decorating finishes – from paint colours and wall coverings to flooring and fabrics – and where you can pick up samples to take home with you. You’ll also be able to see many of these finishes in-situ as you walk around. And, when it comes to lighting, you’ll spot the Coates recessed ceiling lights in action throughout our store, not to mention many of our other ceiling, wall, table and floor lights dotted around.
We’re fortunate enough to have outdoor space large enough to create a terraced garden area where we can display a selection of our outdoor designs. We tend to only have them outside during the spring and summer months though so they don’t have to face the cold.

Need to Knows
We have our own dedicated customer car park with 12 generously-sized spaces. And it goes without saying that it’s free to park.
We have a step-free entrance and our ground floor is all one level, but we don’t have a lift, so the upstairs section has limited access. If there’s anything you would like to check with us before you visit, we’re just one call away.
There’s a little section of the store where you can park your pram should you want to. Inside, it’s lovely and spacious so even a double buggy will find its way around though. We also have colouring in materials to keep little ones entertained.
Well-behaved dogs are more than welcome too. But if you’re the proud owner of four Great Danes, we’d appreciate it if you perhaps left them at home.
