Create a Relaxed Living Room with a Moroccan Twist

Posted by Steph, on June 19th, 2009, under New England News, RSS

The cover of June’s Ideal Home Magazine features our Boston Coffee Table in a room with a very Moroccan feel. Ideal Home’s stylist Sophie says “Restful colours like lilac and grape are the perfect choice for a soothing living room.” Incorporating this season’s hottest trends, they have created a very relaxed, romantic look for summer, keeping the look light and fresh with shades of silver and pure white.

Ideal Home Magazine June 2009

Our White Coffee Table, with its shapely legs fits in beautifully with the look. Its strong styling enables it to create a stong centrepiece in any living room.

The article continues to feature a bright dining room with white dining table and chairs, and white console table.  Sophie recommends giving definition to a white on white scheme by using a strong shade on a feature wall. Continuing the Eastern inspiried theme, she chose a deep plum for the feature wall, and repeated the colour in the accessories. White painted floorboards keep the room looking fresh and simple.

Home Office Storage Ideas

Home Office Storage Ideas

Everyone knows that a cluttered work space is not an inviting space to spend any time in, so when planning your home office make sure you include enough storage to house all your files and paperwork.

Office storage need not compromise on style. Our clear fronted New Hampshire Cabinet is our recommedation to hold all of your files. With three fixed shelves, each with a minimum height of 35cm, the unit provides plentiful storage. There is also a useful storage drawer below to hold smaller items - or why not add some baskets on the shelves?

It is always useful to provide a comfortable chair for visitors, or as a quiet spot to sit and read. Our Lincoln Chair (shown left in white) fits the bill perfectly. Handmade in England on a sturdy beech frame, the Lincoln Chair is available in white, cameo, linen and sandstone. Our fabric is 60% cotton and 40% linen, and scatter cushions are also available to match.
