Vintage style interiors meets classic Nordic design with an industrial edge.

Bevelled edge mirrors

Mirrors have been in existence since 6000C although wide spread production of them started in venice in the 16th century. Mirrors have come in many different shapes and sizes, pocket size reflectors through to looking glasses and vanity mirrors and bevelled edge mirrors. Mirrors have always been a part of home décor and although most have a cosmetic use, a mirror or looking glass placed correctly will brighten and enlarge a room. More recently, bevelled edge mirrors have become very popular this is because the of curved shape and bevelled edges give the mirror a practical use but also creates a decorative centre piece and focal point for a room that resembles a picture or artwork more than a practical mirror.

Log baskets and bags

Wicker log baskets, have, for a long time been the tradition way to carry and store logs in the house, whilst traditions are great, it’s always fun to find new and interesting ways to accessorise your home. We have found that metal vintage French grape collecting baskets, make for great log baskets and again add a rustic style to your home and if that’s not how you like to store logs then our handwoven jute bags are great for the task and in the summer months make for great toy bags.

Lamps and lighting

Electric lighting was first invented by Thomas Edison in 1878 since then, lamps and lights have evolved in any number of ways; Pendant lamps, hanging lights, indoor, outdoor, bedside/desk lamps and floor lamps are all present in any home today. Perhaps one of the major steps to incorporate both practicality and style was the Anglepoise lamp. Invented in 1933, the Anglepoise light was modelled on the constant tension principle of human arm. The lights first use was for factory workers to illuminate their work but it soon became clear that the Anglepoise was equally at home as an accessory desk lamp or reading light. For more information on Anglepoise, the Design Museum has a lot more information. http://designmuseum.org/design/anglepoise developing the idea further, necessity of invention and evolution of interior design bought with it the floor lamp, more specifically the flos Arco floor lamp, designed by Achille Castiglioni.

Pendant lights

for a many years halogen lights were the objects of choice for many people designing their own home. Now, with the interest in vintage and Scandinavian design, pendant, rise and fall hanging lamps are found in the kitchens, hallways and sitting rooms of the design elite. Many people prefer to buy new lamp shades from companies like loop the loop but others like the rustic/vintage appeal of old enamel factory lamp shades, we visit flea markets and architectural dealers on a regular bases and have supplied many customers with their perfect lamp shades.

Shelves and storage

Currently interior design magazines are full of different types of shelves and stylish storage solutions. Building on our vintage and Scandinavian style we have found that reclaimed industrial style wire shelving works really well in the bathroom, kitchen and utility room. These retro storage shelves have often been reclaimed from factories and locker rooms and when added to your home in the right place add a real industrial vintage twist as well as being practical. Glass keepsakes display cases offer the same stylised storage edge whilst at the same time retaining a charm that only comes from displaying your trinkets and keepsakes.

Storage, hooks and knobs

A well placed cloakroom hook rail in the hall way or wooden coat trellis in the kitchen can add a real stylised edge to you home while at the same time incorporating the practicalities required for a real homely home. Also add that industrial or old locker room feel to you home with our antique galvanised hook rail or if you prefer you home ware accessories to be more decorative then our white bird coat hooks are perfect.
