Easy Living


Easy Living 


Bagsie Love Seat from Loaf for £1275. Seriously the cosiest armchair I've seen to date!
Big enough to curl up with a good book and a snuggly blanket

My last blog post on fashion-inspired home decor included pieces that were luxurious and on-trend. This week, I've been researching something a little different - interior design that lives up to the 'easy living' ideal: comfortable, rustic, and practical. It's an ideal that's compatible with the new Spring season so there was no shortage of home decor pieces available right now. Have a look below for furniture & decor from Loaf, La Cornue, Mandarin Stone, Jane Churchill, Orla Kiely, John Lewis, Ayres & Graces and Pottery Barn.
