With the influences of Morocco still strong in our homes these floor cushions are the perfect addition to get the look. Available in various colours these cushions can double up as a sofa and bed.

Great for chilling out on with a book and becoming an addition bed for guests.

What a wonderful brand. Urban Size has a great history and beautifully designed pieces.

Explore their range of furniture and homewares perfectly suited for smaller living.

They say;

At Urbansize we wanted to create stylish ‘urban sized’ furniture which would fit into smaller, quirkier spaces unlike traditional standard issue furniture which often ignores the needs of people like us who live in small homes. We thought that small, functional furniture seemed to be seriously limited and we decided to fix that problem with Urbansize. 

The furniture we design maximises the space in a room. For example we have a ‘floating’ range, items with built in functionality (such as a bed with a foldaway bedside table) as well as more traditional items which are simply a bit smaller than comparable products on the market.

Urbansize is a small family run business. We are all passionate about design and interiors and are building on a long history of furniture making and design. Our family has been in this business for over 30 years, designing, manufacturing and importing furniture.

You may not have thought you need an octopus bowl but we think this might change your mind.

This beauty from homeware fave Audenza is an investment at £148 but what a statement it would make – especially if it had a chilled bottle of fizz in it, too.

It’s a clear glass bowl on an aluminium stand designed with an intricate moulding of an octopus. Clever, beautiful and a unique home accessory.

It seems the home accessory of the season is the pouffe. Firmly back as a key piece of furniture in a lounge (or any other room) and with floral flouncy ones a distant memory of the 80s; the pouffe is now the perfect accessory to add a splash of colour or pop of pattern into a room.

There’s a plethora to choose from across the high street, designer and online stores and whatever trend you use as your styling guide, there’s a pouffe to suit the look.

We’ve picked a selection of our favourites to suit current trends including – colour pop, embellished, midcentury monochrome, maximalist, traveller and artisan.

We like to find great little projects to share with you, and although this one looks a bit more higher skill level than our usual finds, they do insist it’s not hard – and what a super result you’d get.

This great wooden triangle shelf would make a fab feature on any room. The wood could be kept natural or painted up to match the room colours and even changed at a later date if the decor changes.

Adorn with herb pots in a kitchen, collated small curiosities in the lounge or cute little dolls and figures in a nursery. So versatile and a great little project to try out.

Head to MrKate for the tutorial.
