home: event [ another year of great interiors ] 

Here we are reaching the end of 2016 and we are celebrating both a cracking year for design and vision for homes and interior design but also the support and following of many great people who seem to appreciate our daily bite sized features. 

It’s another great year for design across all departments, updates and new twists on trends we’ve seen before, new emerging brands and designers, and high street stores constantly surprisinging us with designs led style but at affordable prices. 

We look ahead to finding new trends in 2017, giving us reasons to bring out the paint brushes and create new looks, getting to know the new brands at next year’s Design Festival and new collaborations with brands we love. 

We’ll be sure to offer more great giveaways, the latest in interiors news and constantly listen to what you’d like to hear about and include everything that we can, as well as be ever grateful to your support, likes and shares. 

[another] home:blog wishes you a very Happy Christmas and all the best for an exciting new year!

Perfect stocking filler or small gift, make someone’s home smell gorgeous with a scented candle.

We love London based, Batch One natural candles (£20) which come in three gorgeous scents; Wild Fig, Silver Birch + Black Pepper and Sandalwood + Amber. 

With around 40 hours burn time it’s excellent value at £20.

For typography and font lovers this would make a great present just to be ornamental, but it’s real aim is for kids. Why not treat them to these beautiful wooden block letter alphabet set to be both educational, tactile and look lovely!

There are a plethora of Christmas fairs across the capital (and country) throughout the lead up to the big day but we loved the look of the Kindred DesignerMaker Fair on Portabello.

Kindred Studios & friends are launching their first ever Portobello Market Christmas Fair, showcasing over 45 emerging artists and artisans ready to take over Tavistock square on the North end of Portobello Road.

A wide range of unique, handmade and affordable gifts will be on sale- all made locally. ‘

With less than six weeks to go until Christmas day we all need to start thinking about our yearly decorations dilema. Do we re-use last years, treat ourselves to some new additions or perhaps a complete overhaul is needed.

Whatever the decision now is a great time to start buying, and a favourite shop of ours is Paperchase. With a huge variety of styles from colourful animals to traditional nativity scenes there is something for everyone, and currently there is a 3 for 2 offer on selected hanging decorations  [ from £3 each ]
