The Mushroom table lamp has three
different brightness settings, so
can be used for tasking and
relaxing. Also it is rechargeable
and portable, ideal if the
socket’s in another area.

Happy feet!
After a nice stroll with our canine companion on
a crisp, autumn day, it’s such a magical feeling to
come indoors to a cosy home and kick off the
walking boots. We’ve clocked up our steps for the
day, so it’s now time to relax with a hot cuppa and
sweet treat in your favourite chair and let your
feet sink into a wonderfully snuggly, plush rug!
I love this Lagoon rug by Louis De Poortere.
The organic, abstract design evokes a sense
of stillness and calm. It’s also available in four
nature-inspired shades, so you’re sure to find one
that complements your colour scheme.

up different sized rugs and create a bit of interest
with contrasting colours, texture or pattern.

flooring, don’t forget you’ll be needing those cosy
and comfy slippers too!
