HOT FROM THE HIGH STREET
Habitat
For sunshine shades and bold prints, check out Habitat’s Global Artisan spring/summer 2023 collection. With pieces for dining, living and sleeping, you can transform your home into a bohemian-inspired retreat. Add burnt ochre and terracotta hues using soft textiles and pair with mid-toned wood and golden metallics.
Cool collab
Sofology’s latest collaboration with TV presenter and architect George Clarke takes inspiration from his love of the simple beauty found in Japanese design. George says of the Sapporo sofa, ‘I love how the curvilinear shape is emphasised by the quilted arms and sides, creating a comfy yet sensory collection you want to relax into.’
SAVVY STYLE
We love browsing the homeware aisles during our supermarket shop, and we’ll be making a beeline to our nearest Tesco for its Chapter B collection, created by TV personality Billie Faiers. Pick up purse-friendly pieces such as cushions, glassware and scents in a colour palette of blush pink, cream and gold.
