You may have realised from our love of floral upholstery and cat tapestry that, although we’re all for contemporary prints and patterns, we certainly favour chintz interiors – coming across photographer Retts Wood’s canal boat home on The Selby and her adorable duck stovetop reaffirmed our love and with that said, one of the items…

On Monday 12th we visited Earls Court for Pulse London, a design show which hosts over 500 brands showcasing the latest in interiors, fashion and accessories. There’s quite a mix at Pulse, from established brands to up-and-coming designers. Asides from the great fashion pieces and jewellery we spotted, the homewares were wonderfully inspirational. Travel-inspired homewares…

The Summer months are around the corner and what better way to lighten up the home then with some neon brights. Happy Jackson have a great range of whimsical slogan kitchenware – David even has the ‘Yay lunch’ lunchbox! – and Oliver Bonas have great accessories including these wire candleholders which are ideal for jazzing up…
Read MoreIf you go down to the woods today…
Inspired by one of David’s most recent purchases, we wanted to round up some of our forest favourites! The woodland trend has been around for some time now. Owls, foxes and hares have all had their 15 minutes of ELLE Deco fame. It is however, a trend which we still love. What better then whimsical woodland interiors…

Ever since we saw the L & A letters decorating the apartment walls of Lauren Conrad on The Hills, we knew we wanted to incorporate something like this into our flat. However, we want to make it a little extra special, so we are on the hunt for reasonably priced vintage-style fairground letters! We first…

Firstly, for anyone who is looking to have a gander in to sewing and is looking for a beginners sewing machine we would definitely recommend this one. An easy set-up and simple settings make this perfect for a non-pro…

Mark’s wardrobe is where the breton print goes to die – he is never one to turn down a nautical striped tee or jumper and his love for stripes continues in the home. Here’s our round-up of products that keep us on the straight and narrow… As you can see, stripes don’t need to be…

It’s wonderful when a piece of interiors tells a story. We’re huge fans of old fables and children’s stories (David actually collects old Edward Gorey books), and there’s just something about these pieces from Lush Designs that evokes the child within us! David was first introduced to this brand a couple of years ago when…
Read MoreParadise found
A holiday to a tropical paradise might be a pipe dream to us right now while we save to furnish our dream flat, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be inspired by exotic vistas and serene beaches while we ponder interiors. Until we can board a ten-hour flight to somewhere hot and sunny, we thought…
Read MoreThe perfect sale for urban finds
Ever since Mark saw a coloured chandelier hanging from the Urban Outfitters store in Glasgow he’s been obsessed with their home section.
