Fabrics and Soft Furnishing

Soft furnishing and beautiful fabrics make so much for a room that just changing the upholstery to an armchair or adding some cushions on the sofa, gives a new lease of life to a tired looking space. I've picked few brands, some high street and some independent and unique in order to revamp your living space.

This Retro Chaise by Florrie + Bill is gorgeous. Its style dates back to the 1950s while the fabric is inspired by the workspace where the two interior designers work. Actually this chaise is an original one and it has been upholstered after being restored. Florrie + Bill have got a range of cocktail chairs, armchairs as well as cushions which you can see a small range in the picture. They also can refurbish and upholster a chair that you love and that you can't think of being apart from. Check their website at www.florrieandbill.com

John Lewis has got a range of gorgeous armchairs, and this Liberty Fabrics and John Lewis Sterling Armchair is a great collaboration between two iconic British department stores. There are many fabrics to choose from depending on the decor of your place  and this armchair is great in the bedroom or close to the fireplace for a cosy corner.  www.johnlewis.com

This Biba Home Veronica Palm cushion from House of Fraser is gorgeous. Made of velvet and filled with feathers, it will be great scattered on a sofa. Now there is an offer in store where you can buy 3 and pay for 2, so it is the right time to revamp a living room. The gold and maroon colours are great with either light or dark  furniture. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
