Make your dining room the best for this christmas 2017

is getting closer than ever. And your plans for the perfect family get-together should be starting to take shape nicely ahead of the forthcoming rush. Getting the house ready forms the backbone of those pre-festive preparations, and the dining room is more important than most. After all, it’s where you’ll be spending the most memorable lunch of the entire year. Make your dining room the best for this christmas In truth, the rewards of designing a great dining room extend beyond the Christmas period. This space is crucial for daily family interactions. However, December 25th is the perfect excuse to make those interior upgrades. Here’s how to make that transformation in time. Colour & Space Consciously or otherwise, colour schemes have a huge impact on your interactions with a room. Bright shades naturally encourage a happier atmosphere.

Despite Brexit Online Furniture Sales Continue to Grow

Despite the looming inevitability of Brexit, it seems that shoppers in the UK are still no stranger to spending their money on the necessities in life such as online furniture. In fact, online sales have seen an increase and many major furnishing companies such as Furniture in Fashion are experiencing tremendous growth thanks to online sales. Despite brexit online furniture sales continue to grow. It’s not just furniture stores either. Online jewellery sales are surging and many retailers in general that focus on digital platforms are confident that their sales will continue to increase despite Brexit getting closer. This is in wake of the widespread reports that Brexit would force British shoppers into a strike of sorts. Even currency worth has stabilised and overseas sales are as strong as ever.

Students from Lahti University design furniture for displacement victims

The ongoing refugee crisis and the effects of natural disaster have become increasingly important topics for designers in recent years. This is why it interested us to read Dezeen magazine’s report this week about 10 students from Lahti University of Applied Sciences in Finland and their designs for a collection of essential furniture items for victims of displacement. The designs are the fruit of a research project called Rehome, which gave students from the school’s Institute of Design the responsibility of creating temporary products for those suddenly forced to leave their home without belongings. “Manufactured automatically with the lowest costs possible” One of the students, Iida Nordgren, said to Dezeen: “The main idea behind Rehome was to design temporary products that could provide an answer to humans’ primary needs when suddenly rehoused. The furniture designed within Rehome can be manufactured automatically with the lowest costs possible. For example, a cardboard bed can be manufactured around 3,500 pieces in one hour – and no tools are required for assembling.” The students devised a list of things that they described as catering to “the most urgent human needs”, which they identified as sleeping arrangements, privacy and social interaction. This led to their decision to use...
