decorating trend: the simple life
Wood stools in a stripped-back style take their cue from the salvaged look.
Great from any angle, this coffee table’s raw finish lets the wood’s natural character shine through.
Simple, stylish, seductive... a streamlined day bed ticks all our boxes.
With its low back and slim proportions, this elegant chair is a mid-century classic.
Cool collectables (or burnt offerings) will find a new home in a neatly sealed jar.
Who could imagine a garden vase would have such poise? Much too chic to be left outside...
Sleek yet sturdy, this handsome model will add a refined edge to any occasion.
This cosy chair wraps you up in style.
Tactile upholstery hits the spot – here’s one bed you’ll never want to leave.
