Sometimes there is a design that just sticks around and never gets old, like these petal shaped armchairs from Oliver Bonas.

This distinctive design is being seen a lot in stores, but with OB the price, as well as the colour options make it a winner in our eyes.

Place in the corner of a living room or bedroom for a touch of 1920’s glamour.

It may not be a choice of colour that jumps out at you, but beige is to take over our lives and homes during 2019. No longer is it seen as dull, lifeless and dated, beige is actually a warming & calming colour which acts as a nuetral backdrop to bolder shades.

Layer up different shades of beige with accents of brass, gold, wood and additional colours of black and white, creating a very collated room.

January is definitely a good time for new interior ideas and DIY projects, and with purse strings being a little tighter after Christmas, a good affordable DIY is a good option.

We love this staggered upwards box shelving idea from Homesthetics which as well as being stylish, it’s practical offering a decent amount of shelving and storage for a company space as the space is gained going upwards.

Head to high street stores for affordable box shelves to work with in staggered formation up the wall. We found good options at IKEA, IKEA, Dunelm and MrHousey.

Such a beautiful floor lamp, and such a great discount. For a great new feature in the home, invest in the midcentury styled Milton floor lamp from Heals.

Blending mid-century styling with functionality, the Milton Task Table and Floor Lamp Range are compact enough to sit within any modern interior. The Milton range is designed in Banbury, and crafted from sturdy powder coated steel which is hand-painted to an antique brass finish becoming a solid design statement. The floor lamp is adjustable via a handle, allowing the user to direct the light perfectly over a sofa, or armchair when reading, or left to illuminate a room when at full height.

Still time to catch this great exhibition at the Design Museum. ‘Home Futures’ runs until March.

They say;

Explore today’s home through the prism of yesterday’s imagination. Are we living in the way that pioneering architects and designers throughout the 20th century predicted, or has our idea of home proved resistant to real change?
