I need to blog more so I have been told.. so here goes!

I thought I’d share a few of my favourite things from Idyll Home, which is not an easy thing to do when I like everything we sell. I love our new Ikat polymats,  Mistral planters and luxurious Velvet throws, all of which I have my eye on but really just can’t justify taking more things from the store room!

I also love some of our mango wood products which are all FSC approved and hand crafted in India. These products are all Fair Trade items too ensuring the artisans who make them are fairly rewarded for their skills. The natural grain of the wood is just beautiful.

It’s been a while since we have blogged at Idyll Home, but we just need to shout out about these stunning new John Robshaw Ikat cushions in Topaz and Rose! The bright colours are perfect for brightening up living rooms and bedrooms with Spring just around the corner.

Get cosy as the nights draw in and escape the chill with our great range of rugs, log baskets and votives.

Nothing beats a real fire or log burner for comfort and warmth and we have some great rugs to go in front of it, our reindeer rugs are the ultimate in cosy fireside rugs. Pretty votives give off soft candle light and great baskets to store logs for the fire. Perfection!!

At Idyll Home we have sourced some really interesting and unique lighting and lamps that are not easily found on the high street. From very pretty Moroccan style overhead lighting made from hammered metal and silvered glass to industrial vintage style lighting.

We have a great selection of retro style desk lamps in various colours and sizes and unusual stylish lamps such as the iron lamps with old tent canvas shades.

Our stylish lanterns are perfect for indoors or out on warm summer evenings, like this beautiful tin plated copper and fabric lantern from Morocco.

Ikat Cushions are designed in New York by John Robshaw and hand block printed in Thailand by local artisans skilled in ancient traditions. See them in this months Living etc Magazine’s “Ideas to steal” from Derek Mattison’s amazing Hollywood Hills home.

Metal pendant light “Shack” has a natural tin finish on the outside with a white painted enamel inside. This pendant light has a rustic vintage look that is both simple and chic. See it in Living etc’s New Essential buys for under £100 this month.

Tine K’s bamboo garden furniture is now available from Idyll Home.
