The White Stuff

Every summer it seems white becomes a big trend in the world of interiors; a brief visit to WHSmiths magazine section this month shows a multitude of magazine covers proclaim "White: The New Black", "The White Issue" and various other headlines.

And rightly so, because nothing evokes that summer-time feeling more than a crisp white interior. Not only do white furnishings give a polished, chic appearance - they pretty much go with every colour-scheme under the sun. Plus it also has the added bonus of making any room feel light and spacious - Great for small spaces, not so great for grubby fingers!

Summertime, and the living is easy...

It's so great to finally see some sun shining through after many months of rain and clouds, and it's always a nice feeling to leave work and outside is still bright, however it's definitly given us a hankerin' for a holiday................Barcelona, anyone?

With all the sunshine-induced euphoria rubbing off on everyone we've started to bring in a great new range of summer products in to get you in the mood.

We're especially loving this refreshing Kiwi work top saver from Joseph Joseph, which looks good enough to eat!
