Head to furniture store Glasswells and check out the sale. We picked their ‘Leon‘ range as our favourite pick. The various discounted options (sofa, chair, snuggler and footstool) come in many different fabric choices and with the retro-style midcentury silhouette, any piece is a perfect way to update a lounge.

With the Leon, you can design your own sofa collection from a wide range of statement fabrics, a choice of vibrant co-ordinating scatter fabrics and five wood finishes. Four sofa sizes, a snuggler and a standard chair offer flexible ‘seating in style’. An optional headrest can be added by simply slotting in and out of the sofa where and when required. Constructed from traditional hardwood. The seat and arms are upholstered in high quality foam for superior comfort and support. The back cushions are fibre filled and supplied in removable zipped cases.

A little bit of Scandinavian perfection in from lovely Swedish brand Minus Tio. Having featured their coat rack last week we felt this store needed to be shouted about.

Their legacy and basis for all their designs are summed up with a perfect collation of words… ‘Sweden in the 80’s – Dark winters, cross county skiing, Sigurd Lewerentz, Alvar Aalto. Pine, rocky islands and concrete, Saab and Nintendo. This is often where we start our projects.’

With a talented team of designers they have exquisite design, using sustainable materials and their range includes chairs, tables and accessories; furniture for both the home or commercial use.

Minus tio is all about the love of furniture. Our collection is unique, contemporary and locally produced. We design, we manufacture and we sell.

home: trend [ greenery ]

The last year has seen a massive increase in greenery in our homes, not only in painted walls and furniture, but also the increase in indoor plants [ faux and real ] spread throughout a room. Layer them up to create texture and shade.

Green is a calming colour and not only do leaf and plant prints bring the outside in, they also create interest and focal points. The plants themselves do the same.

Last year we saw green combined with millennial pink and this continues, although the tone has changed slightly and is more of a berry colour…think pale raspberry.

Work with these shades together through accessories with either the green or pink taking the walls.

Guide:

Top row – vase from trouva.com [ £22 ], wallpaper from rockettstgeorge.co.uk [ £135 ], print from desenio.co.uk [ from £6.95 ]

With just a flat bed sheet, some fabric paint and a little creativity (or head to Pinterest for inspiration) you can make your own unique table cloth – tailor it to your event, theme, colour way or home interior!

Depending on your table size you can buy cheap cotton flat sheets across the high street ( including Dunelm and John Lewis) to use – a great way to get a large ready-hemmed piece of fabric. Alternatively you could visit a fabric store or even try a charity shop for second hand bedding sheets to use. Next pick your colour/s for fabric paint widely available online and craft stores ( Hobbycraft ).

Then visit any of these great blogs to give you easy tutorials to follow ;
