home: favourite thing [ outdoor dining ]

Even with a small outdoor space or a balcony you can make the most of the space with the use of the great IKEA range APPLARO of outdoor furniture.

It’s mix and match with varying combinations of shelving, table, storage and wall systems.

We love the APPLARO wall panel with drop leaf table – perfect for creating a dining area and hanging planting feature even in a tiny space.

There is so much in the APPLARO range including lidded storage, chairs, sofa combinations, extendable tables and shelving.

£65 IKEA / wall panel + drop leaf table

home: favourite thing [ clock ]

We love this black and brass wall clock from Rockett St George. It’s simple design really stands out and it is a beautiful piece to look at.
It would sit perfectly against a dark blue, green or aubergine wall in a living room or office.
Perhaps hang it mixed with other wall decor like mirrors and pictures, creating impact.
Available at rockettstgeorge.co.uk [ £169 ]

home: favourite thing [ chair ]

Looking to get the house summer ready inside and out? This gorgeous IKEA rattan chair is from their new VIKTIGT collection, which includes ceramics, tableware, lampshades and rugs.

The chair is elegant and simple. It would bring a fresh light look to an interior, with a few throw pillows or perfect for lounging in the garden, conservatory or balcony. Rattan furniture doesn’t have to be old fashioned this chair has a great angular design, slim profile frame and ticks the monochrome box too.

home: favourite thing [ wall vessel ]

Another great way to bring plants indoors this Summer is with these concrete vessels in a wire diamond shaped frame from Umbra.
Available in two sizes we love the grey and copper combination. Mix the different sizes togther on a wall, filling them with a selection of plants. Alternatively use the vessels for stationary in an office, or combine both options, the choice is yours.

Large vessel [ £35 ]
Set 2 small vessel [ £25 ]

home: favourite thing [ light ]

The ‘Marlowe‘ smoked glass and copper ceiling light from Habitat is a beautiful piece of lighting that could work well in a cluster, or stand alone, and would look great with a feature bulb.

Habitat has a few great bulbs to choose from but many stores have huge ranges with great designs including squirrel, coil and spiral.

Designed by Aaron Probyn exclusively for Habitat, it’s an excellent investment at just £60 that will be a modern design statement within the home.

home: favourite thing [ concrete jar ]

We are partial to a concrete accessory or two around the home, so this storage jar from Rose & Grey is a winner in our eyes.
The simple design is contemporary as well as practical and would sit perfectly in a kitchen for storing foods such as coffee or pasta, alternatively it will look great as a decorative object on a shelf or unit, sat with other pots or vases.

Available in grey or white [ £10.50 ]

home: favourite thing [ arm chair ]

How to bring colour into a room and embrace the Nomad trend with this amazing colourful patterned Cotton Dhurrie Nomad Armchair from Hutsly.

The wool and cotton mix fabric in this great design sits on the classic deep seated chair with perfectly suited midcentury style tapered legs.

Invest in colour for £589.00

home: favourite thing [ Tiger ]

Last month we featured Tiger [ nice price ], and we still can’t get enough of the Danish brand. Continuing with their new Spring collection we see the addition of planters and pots in pastel shades. Choose from zinc buckets and plant pots, ceramic hanging planters and plastic corrugated flower pots [ starting from £2 ]. Great for indoors and out.

Don’t hang about, the best pieces can go quick.

home: favourite thing [ printable art ]

The power and impact of large scale art in a room is great. Make a statement or bring a strong colour or theme to a room with a huge print. It’s generally a fairly expensive thing to aquire but US online store, Sycamore Street Press, amongst the range of other fab paper goods and homeware, have the super idea of offering downloadable digital PDFs of brilliant photographic prints that can be printed yourself at your local printers to whatever size (up to 48” x 36” – which is huge)

We absolutely love this way of bringing the outdoors in, with their print range of cactus photographs. Fresh natural images taken from the cactus garden in Huntingdon, Pasedena (California) which create a airy feel and evoke the feeling of the outdoors – allowing the natural world inside and are almost window-like when hung. Either frame, stick or use hanging bars for these huge pieces of art.

Brilliant art at only $9 per download from the Sycamore Street Press.

home: favourite thing [ planter ]

For the green fingered of us, now is the time to start tidying the garden and getting ready for summer. For those who don’t have an outdoor space, or just like having plants indoors then these hanging planters from Factorytwentyone are perfect.

The simple wooden box with leather strap [ choose from five colours ] will look great hung individually on a small wall, or group together on a larger wall.

£29.99 from factorytwentyone.com
