Inspirational Patterns
If you have been reading our Newsletters and following fashion and décor trends it will come as no surprise that not only are bold colours a thing, but so are patterns. This trend has been emerging for a while and Interior Gurus are loving it.
Patterns are bold, funky, and colourful with florals taking centre stage. Mixing and matching patterns and colours unleash your creativity and create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your guests to lounge in. Classic florals and geometrics are being updated to be bolder and bigger. This forms the perfect base to build your colour and pattern scheme.
If you feel a bit overwhelmed by trying this new trend, start by getting different patterned cushions in the same colourway, and add a neutral throw and a patterned carpet. Finish the whole look off with accessories highlighting the colourway and adding visual interest.
Not all patterns appeal to all people, so bear in mind, that the most important part of the process is to choose patterns that talk to you, colours that bring you joy, and accessories that make you smile.
A Story About Curves
Since arriving on our shores, the Balmain Collection has become a firm favourite with both us and our clients. Balmain exudes sophistication with its curved organic lines and lustrous Teak textures. The Balmain Collection is a nod to the past, but where did this curvaceous trend first gain momentum? To discover that we need to travel back to the 1970 when the angled, rigid forms and shapes of modernism gave way to softer and more inviting pieces. Rounded mirrors and sculptured tables mixed with soft velvet fabrics captured everyone's imagination, drawing you in so you would linger longer. Curves are an elegant nod to the mid-century modern trend that has seen a huge revival of late, so If these comforting curves remind you of a giant hug, let the Balmain Teak Collection draw you in.
Now available at both our branches.

We’re Stretching It
From a 6-seater to a 12-seater! (2m20 to 3m30)
It might seem like we are stretching the truth about our Livorno Tables, but we have proof that The Livorno Collection is the perfect outdoor Table. Powder-coated aluminium, to resist whatever the weather might throw at it, and beautiful all-weather ceramic tabletops for a low maintenance, elegant experience.
The Livorno Table Collection is so easy to operate that it only requires 1 person to pull the table at each end and expose the hidden tabletop insert. The insert lifts seamlessly into place, and the table ends can be pushed back together to create a 12-seater table. The Livorno can stretch from 2m20 to 3m30.
To add to the low maintenance charm of The Livorno Table Collection we can offer you the Sevilla Dining Armchair. All Aluminium, powder coated with a high backrest supported with Textilene all-weather fabric.
