Marble has become increasingly trendy this year – on a recent peek around Sainsbury’s home section we noticed beautiful marble and wood chopping boards, it’s such a gorgeous combination of rustic yet keeping it luxe. For us though, it’s lighting which is a winner this season. From floor lights to table lamps, marble base lighting…
Read MoreWe Made.com quite a find on Gumtree..
When it comes to our lounge we’re pretty content. However, there is one little corner that could potentially do better.

Read MoreGetting charged with IKEA’s new smart range
Now most of us hate wires, the hassle of plugs and the annoyance of losing chargers. But, hallelujah, because those clever sausages at IKEA have created a range of furniture with built in wireless charging spots. So it seems the future of furniture has landed.

Read MoreWho said being a skinflint was bad?
Anyone who has a rented flat will know sometimes they don’t come with inspiring light fittings. However, always keen to make our place a little cosier with alternative finds, we stumbled across a little company called Skinflint – and we’re a little bit in love. If you’re an avid follower of our blog, you’ll know…

With that said, here are a couple of our favourite rugs along with some geometric homewares. 1. Cushion by Ellie Hyde from Graduate Collection, £40 | 2. Terracotta Pendant from Clippings.com, £36 | 3. Rug…
Read MoreA touch of theatrics
David’s mum is rather good at this one – bringing theatrics in to the home. David recently was pondering what he’d do if he had infinite money for homewares, Mark’s answer was one of worry and doubt… “our flat would turn in to your mum’s house”, he cheekily said. However, he’s right. At David’s mums,…

Christmas is fast approaching – we’re already popping some wish lists together – and now, amongst all the Christmas decorations, pop-up gift shops, festive markets and events, you’ll also notice Christmas creeping in to the home.

Read MoreOur wishlist from Burlanes
Now that Halloween is out of the way, it’s time to utter the C-Word… No, not THAT one – Christmas. We’ve just returned from the hell hole that is Oxford Street and we’re already not looking forward to the present-buying process. Couple that with the fact we both travel home for the festive period, an…

On Wednesday night we were invited to the Habitat Design Reunion party at the Platform exhibition level of the King’s Road store to celebrate the brand’s 50th birthday.

Read MoreLong live freecycling!
En route back from a much needed power nap on Wandsworth Common we were deep in flat planning thoughts when we spotted a lonely lamp with a little disclaimer… Now, it’s not the most desirable of shades, however, David weirdly was mentioning how we needed to get a floor lamp for the new flat so…
