Not always at the top of most peoples list of homeware brands, Urban Outfitters is a must visit store. Full of Boho styled furniture and accessories, as well as lots of fun gift ideas.

With a much bigger range online than in stores, it is always best to check on the website first. And the pricing isn’t bad either.

Currently we love their Woodrow King Bed, Petra 6 Drawer Dresser & Mikko Coffee Table (all pictured). Rattan and woven furniture is sticking around!

home: found this [ floor lamp ]

This gorgeous floor lamp from oliverbonas.com is an ideal piece for a bedroom or living room, and we love it. The mix of wood and metal is just right and gives a slight nod to mid-century design.

You can adjust the lamp shades for a more direct light. At the moment it is only available in green, but we are hoping more tones will become available.

If not, this green will do just fine!
