How is it September already?! The temperature has definitely dropped, the sun is lower in the sky and the nights are getting darker. It feels like it is time to get the throws back out and get all cosy again at home. I love the start of a new season, to see all of the wonderful new and beautiful homeware coming into the shops. I’ve noticed lots of reds this autumn, not just in homeware but fashion too. I think it's definitely going to be big this season along with other rich colours like plum and burgundy that will make your home feel cosy. On my look out for all things autumnal, I wanted to share my favourite pieces with you.

If you’re searching for a new bed and you’re lacking storage in your bedroom, an ottoman bed could just be the solution that you’re looking for. With hidden storage to store anything anyway, whether that's suitcases, shoes, bedding, or, like me, all your summer clothes, they are the perfect bedroom storage solution. With this being said, it can be tricky to find an ottoman bed that is as beautiful as it is practical. That’s why I’ve done a roundup of my top 10 ottoman beds, and the best bit is that one of them is under £350! 

I have recently decorated my home office, and now I’m on the hunt for a sofa bed. I have searched endlessly, as the sofa bed I’m looking for needs to be a certain size, fabric, and colour. On my quest to find the perfect sofa bed for my home office, I've discovered some beautiful sofa beds that I wanted to share. From sofa beds with pull-out mattresses to storage sofa beds, chairs, and footstools, yes, I really have trawled the web! To save you time, I have a roundup of my top 10 sofa beds from well-known high street brands.

Summer seems pretty much nonexistent at the moment (please come out soon, sun!!). Even though we’re waiting for warmer and sunnier days, it doesn’t mean you can’t brighten up your home. While designing for our customers, we have found so many beautiful summer inspired interior finds that we just had to share them with you. If you’re wanting to give your home a little summer update, check out these great homeware pieces we have discovered. Whether you're on the hunt for something colourful and bold or light and airy, there is something you’re sure to love.

To inspire you I have a roundup of my favourite outdoor pieces from well-known high street brands. There’s bags of inspiration here with my favourite finds so that you can make the most of your garden. Throw open those doors and get started on creating a beautiful outdoor space that your neighbours will envy and you will enjoy all summer long!

At The Living House, we love to discover sustainable brands when designing for our customers. We are often asked by our customers to design their rooms with sustainability in mind. This can range from finding pre-loved furniture on Facebook Marketplace to eco-friendly paint and sofa fabrics.

We can shop from anywhere, so if caring for our planet is high on your agenda too, we have shared five of our favourite sustainable brands.

At last, the sun is starting to shine, the dark evenings are fading, and the flowers are starting to bloom. I’m delighted that spring is just around the corner, and I have already been on the lookout for some beautiful spring inspired interior finds.

We love to discover and find new brands that we can use in our design schemes. We have done a roundup of five kids interior brands you need to know about to create a beautiful, fun, and interesting kids bedroom that you all will love!

We’ve shared with you our favourite curve and arch pieces that we are loving right now. Whether you want to splash out and invest in the trend or start with smaller pieces, we have found both!

November already? How did it come round so quickly?! Time to pack away the autumnal decorations and enter Christmas mode. It feels like Christmas hits the shops and online earlier each year, giving you that buzz to get organised and start shopping for your friends and family.

It’s a new year, the Christmas decorations are all packed away and your home looks a bit, well, empty? Right?

I know there are definitely a few empty spaces in my living room, so here at The Living House we have had a look at the new collections hitting the shops and put together our favourite interior finds. Take a look and see if there is something just right to fill that gap in your home and spruce up your room for the new year.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without adding to my collection of baubles every year! It’s always so tempting to just add a couple more. And once the children get involved, they always see something that they just have to have!! But I don’t mind. For me it all adds to the traditions of Christmas, and the memories from each year - trying to remember who was responsible for the crazy Santa on a motorbike decoration they chose when they were four.

Everyday we meet lovely customers and chat to them about their homes, and their design problems and dilemmas. And although every customer and every home is unique, there are also themes to the questions that we get asked. Below we have answered 5 questions that have cropped up recently in our chats to customers.

We are all feeling the pinch right now and it looks set to continue for some time to come. I don’t know about you but I remember when ‘winter is coming’ was just a phrase from Game of Thrones! For this reason, we thought we would share some of our favourite finds from the high street, supermarket stores and independent shops to show that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a big impact.

A few weekends ago, I enjoyed a birthday weekend away in the beautiful city of Bath. It had always been a place I had wanted to visit and I was not disappointed with its gorgeous buildings, history and of course wide array of lovely home stores to browse for hours!

I have shared with you four of my favourite home stores I visited and loved. It was great to come across so many beautiful stores that I can share with you!

In the spirit of Spring and change, we have rounded up our 10 favourite new shopping finds that we think you’ll love. Take a look at our favourites to get you inspired for Spring.

We love using independent home stores when designing our customers' homes. You can always find interesting individual pieces that you can’t always find on the high street. And most importantly, we love supporting amazing small businesses!

This week it’s all about rugs! We have searched far and wide to bring you a roundup of our top 10 favourite rugs - which of course are affordable too!!

There are so many blinds available - every colour, pattern and style possible. So where do you start when choosing a blind for your window? It can be hard to know what you need, or want.

Summer is right around the corner (no, really it is!!) and if this past year has taught us anything, it's to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate our gardens!
