If space is limited, then there are lots of
beautifully designed sofa beds around.

and a bad night's sleep – this Haru sofa
bed will fit a snug corner and will mean
that guests can stay in comfort. Add
a contrasting cosy blanket and snuggle
up with a classic movie.

A comfy armchair is a must for any
bookworm and, if you fancy splashing
out, this cobalt blue velvet version (the
Glen Elrich Chair) will add colour and
luxury to your living area. Be sure to have
a stack of books and a lamp nearby
for late nights when you just can’t tear
yourself from the page!

garlands using paper and card, but if

Artworks that are motivational are
perfect for dotting around your home.
Whether it’s above your workspace, in
the bathroom or next to your bed, place
a simple print somewhere prominent so
you view it regularly. Sarah designed this
one in collaboration with Department
Store for the Mind.

Opting for items that are multi-purpose
is the name of the game for compact
spaces. Vintage suitcases are a super
versatile item to add to any home. Keep
your eyes peeled at flea markets and
car boot sales; otherwise Scaramanga
have a great selection online, like this
Classic Canvas case.
