Last weeks post Alternatives to Tiling Your Bathrooms, saw us swooning and coveting the Italian brand, Wall and Deco’s wall coverings. If you enjoyed that post, you’re in for a real treat today. In fact it’s even more swoon worthy as we talking all things Italian. Heal’s are celebrating 100 years of Italian Interior Design, and I’ve been kindly asked to tell you all about it. Not that I really needed asking! Heal’s First up, I thought you might like a little background to what has…

You may have already come across their designs, but just in case you havent, they are a predominately a fabric and wallpaper design company.

To be honest, as I don’t actually own one (YET), I have become a bit of an Eames…
Eco Friendly Designers – Tom Raffield Today, we are all consciously aware of our environment and the detrimental effects we have on it. The knowledge that we have available to us, and the choices that we make in our day-to-day living, hopefully, mean that we are all doing our bit for future generations to come.

Mid Century Love – Series 7™, Chair Design Can you believe it’s Friday already?! This week has gone super fast and the summer holidays are fast approaching until my youngest breaks up. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, so for now, I am going to concentrate on a little bit of furniture design to block out those feelings of disbelief and panic that are setting in!
