Colourful floral tub chair
The tub design of chairs continue to be a popular style and this chair, with its lively pink orchid floral patterned design, would work very well as a feature or focal point in a lounge.
If pink floral isn’t quite you, then the Quartz tub chair is also available in five other plain or patterned fabrics.
There’s a small saving of £20 on the price of the chair at the moment, and it will set you back £219 from DFS.
Ornate frame
Multi photo frames are great for displaying several of your favourite photos, or for grouping together shots of family members.
A lot of the multi frames available are pretty standard, with plainish frames, so it’s nice to find one that is stylishly ornate. This collage frame by Sicura holds three photos and the cutwork detail around the edge of the frame is almost lace-like in its detail.
The triple frame is well priced at only £9.99 from Home Sense, so you could even afford to get a matching pair!
Nest of three tables
If you often need extra tables for putting drinks on when entertaining, but don’t have masses of room to always have a table there, then a nest of tables is the perfect solution.
This set of three solid oak tables are gently curved to produce a kidney bean shape and are a pleasant change from simply having rectangular or square small tables.
The light wood, with its oiled finish, produces a nice colour hue and the three tables, in graduating sizes, slide neatly together when not in use.
The Tevis nest of three tables is sold by Barker and Stonehouse for £229.
Pretty as a picture
If you’re looking for a photo frame for a special picture, then this ornate silver frame would be ideal.
The freestanding Camilla frame is sprayed with silver and has an array of swirls and fancy decorations adorning it.
It looks like it should have an expensive price tag, but prices start at only £10 for a 6″ by 4″ frame.
To buy the Camilla silver photo frame, head over to Oliver Bonas.
Antique style clock
It may look years and years old but this clock is really a clever reproduction by clock specialists Newgate.
Based on a clock found at an antiques market, this version has a traditional convex metal dome and has been carefully printed to look aeons old.
We think it would suit a kitchen or lounge and you can snag it for £65 here.
Recycled, handmade blanket
Every self-respecting cosy home needs a snuggly blanket or two – especially in our current weather!
Crochet patchwork blankets are making a comeback and if you don’t have the skills to make your own, take to thrifting from car boots or Ebay, or snap up one of these recycled blankets from moozlehome at NotOnTheHighStreet.
Every blanket is unique, made from recycled yarn and they come in a variety of colourways including mixed, white and brights for £45.
Lilac bookend
We’ve seen all manner of novelty bookends but never have they been as pretty as this.
The lilac heart has a gorgeous rose pattern and a smooth back that makes it look more like a stand alone trinket than a useful book stop.
Doesn’t every book deserve a happy ending? We think so too.
It’s £18.50 at Graham and Green.
Every home needs a basket
We can’t think of a single home that couldn’t benefit from a basket or two (or seven).
Toys, blankets, spare toiletries – baskets store anything and everything.
Park it in the bedroom, bathroom, toy room or lounge and you have something signficantly more stylish than the ubiquitous plastic box. What’s not to love about them?
Zara Home sells these vegetable fibre west baskets for £19.90 each.
Monsoon Rosabel cushion
This delicate pale pink cushion is part of the Rosabel range from Monsoon Home.
The long boudoir cushion, which is perfect for popping on your bed or a special chair as a finishing touch, or for gently resting your head against, features dainty hand embroidery and appliqued designs.
The cushion is filled with feathers and measures 30cm by 55cm. It’s available in the sale from Lytton and Lily, who have it on offer for £20.
