If you think you can just pick up toiletries, hardware and bargains for the garden, you’d be mistaken – there’s a broad range of homeware and furniture, available both in store and online. 

We had a browse and selected some favourite pieces which would create a great new simple modern look for a lounge including table lighting (from £15), soft knitted grey throws (£22), patterned rugs (from £40) and great industrial style ceiling lights (from £12). They stock a good broad range of paint colours, also, so a complete room make over is easy to achieve.

Green is a colour associated with nature, harmony, safety and has a restorative effect. Olive green specifically is traditional colour of peace which is strong evidence that it’s a wonderful colour to use in the home. It’s a great colour to use on a big scale whether it’s wall paint, tiling or a large rug but what is particularly effective is layering up shades of a green and building a strong on trend look with the throws, sofas, cushions, paint on walls – all being in that olive tone. There are various shades of olive so the look can have a tonal variance. 

Create texture by using knits, weaves and patterns in soft furnishings all in green and use pewter, warm or dark wood and black in other furniture with metallic highlights in small homewares. 

1 Tiling from Bellissimo from £26 

2 Hygena Lexi Sofa from Argos £349.99 

3 Paint from Wilkos £10 

4 Rug from a selection of green rugs from Benuta

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. ‘

When glasses get outdated or worn through repeated washing it’s time to find some new ones. 

So you don’t have to feel guilty about spending to much money, we found these sets of 4 tumblers from Made.com

The sets come in various colour combinations but we think the rich dark tonal colours set is perfect for winter and would look great for the Christmas table.
