6 Coffee Station Cabinet Ideas for UK Open Plan Living Spaces

Open plan homes leave coffee setups in full view, so the cabinet that holds your machine has to look as good as it works. We share six practical ideas for UK open plan living spaces, from sideboard style coffee bars and slim consoles behind the sofa to display cabinets, drinks units and TV walls that quietly absorb the morning routine. Each idea is grounded in real layouts and the way British households actually move through their ground floor. Along the way we cover ventilation, sockets, sightlines and the small styling habits that stop a coffee station looking like a kitchen unit on holiday in the lounge. A short FAQ at the end answers the questions we hear most often when readers plan a coffee corner....

How to Choose a Coffee Station Cabinet for a Kitchen With No Counter Space

Finding room for a coffee setup is tricky when your worktops are already full. A dedicated coffee station cabinet creates a tidy, intentional zone for the machine, mugs and accessories without stealing counter space. In this guide we look at how to measure properly, what storage actually matters, which finishes suit small UK kitchens and how to plan power and ventilation safely. We also explore how a sideboard or mirrored cabinet can stand in as a coffee station when space is at its tightest, and how to style the top without crowding it. Whether you live in a flat, a terrace or an open plan home, the right cabinet quietly transforms the morning routine while still looking the part next to the rest of your interior. A short FAQ rounds off the practical advice....

How the Furniture in Fashion Own Brand Range Has Developed Since 2007

How the Furniture in Fashion Own Brand Range Has Developed Since 2007

The Furniture in Fashion own brand range began quietly in 2007 with a single idea. Bring well made modern furniture to British homes at fair prices, and back it with proper service. Almost two decades later, the same principles still guide our work, although the collection has grown far beyond its high gloss beginnings. In this article we look at how the range has evolved, from those first sleek sideboards and TV units through expansions into wood, glass, marble effect and brushed metal, to the calmer, room led design language we use today. We also share how UK homes themselves have shaped every step of that journey, and where the own brand is heading next....

Best Adjustable Floor Lamps for UK Home Offices

An adjustable floor lamp is one of the most useful additions to a UK home office, and one of the most overlooked. Where overhead lighting flattens a desk and small task lamps leave the rest of the room in shadow, a well chosen floor lamp solves both problems and adds a quiet design statement at the same time. In this Furniture in Fashion guide we set out what to look for in an adjustable model, including arm articulation, bulb choice, finish and stability. We also cover practical placement around computer desks, corner workstations and dual purpose rooms that share space with the living area, so the lamp earns its keep across the working day and beyond....

6 Ways Lighting Can Make a UK Hallway Feel More Welcoming

Hallways quietly carry a lot of weight in British homes, yet they are often the last space to receive any real attention. The right lighting plan can change that within an evening, turning a narrow or north facing entrance into something genuinely welcoming. In this Furniture in Fashion guide we share six practical approaches that suit real UK properties, including layered fittings, warm bulb choices, well placed mirrors, low level glows and lighting that works hand in hand with storage. Each step is achievable without rewiring or rebuilding and is designed to lift the feel of the space without overcomplicating it. Whether your hallway is long, short, narrow or oddly shaped, there is something here you can apply this weekend....

How to Use Lighting to Add Drama to a UK Dining Room

A dining room can shift from practical to memorable with nothing more than a thoughtful lighting plan. In this Furniture in Fashion guide we walk through the layered approach that gives British dining rooms real atmosphere, from the statement pendant or chandelier above the table to the softer wall lights, table lamps and candles that build genuine depth. We cover hanging heights, colour temperature, dimmer choices and the small placement details that separate a flat scheme from one that feels properly considered. Whether your dining space sits in a Victorian terrace, an open plan kitchen or a compact city flat, you will find calm, practical advice on adding drama without overhauling the rest of the room or chasing trends....

Whether you are furnishing a compact city bedroom or a busy family lounge, you will find practical, calm guidance on choosing a reading lamp that genuinely earns its place rather than simply filling a corner....

How to Pair a Dressing Table With the Right Mirror in a UK Bedroom

A dressing table is one of the quieter pieces in a bedroom, but the way it pairs with a mirror sets the tone for the entire corner. Choose well and the routine of the morning feels considered. Choose poorly and the corner never settles. This guide walks through how to pair a dressing table with the right mirror in a UK bedroom, starting with the table itself and working outward to mirror shape, width, finish and lighting. We cover the realities of British ceiling heights, the difference between fixed and free standing mirrors, and how to keep the palette of finishes tight enough for the eye to rest. With practical advice rooted in real UK rooms rather than generic styling, the aim is to help you build a corner that works as well at six in the morning as it does at six in the evening....

A Guide to Shopping the Exclusive FiF Own Brand Range at Furniture in Fashion

Shopping an own brand range usually means accepting whatever the high street happens to be selling that season. The FiF range at Furniture in Fashion was built differently, with a consistent design language, materials chosen for longevity and proportions sized for real British homes. This guide walks through how to approach the collection, starting with the statement piece in each room and layering supporting items around it.
