How to Choose a Bedroom Chair for a UK Master Bedroom

Choosing one well takes a little planning, especially in UK rooms where every centimetre counts. This guide walks through the practical questions to ask first, from the job the chair needs to do to the floor space you can spare, then looks at fabrics, finishes and how to coordinate the chair with the bed and cabinets.

How to Style a Sofa Bed So It Looks Like a Proper Sofa During the Day

A sofa bed earns its place in a UK home by serving two roles. At night it welcomes guests, and during the day it should read as a considered sofa rather than a folded mattress waiting for its next use.
