September stories.

September 15, 2023

The start of September always ushers in a raft of emails in my inbox, showcasing the new season collections from some of my favourite design brands. While I don’t believe anyone needs to be updating their home decor on a yearly – let alone seasonal – basis, I’m always excited to see new lifestyle imagery from the brands whose designs I’m always most drawn to; to gain inspiration for new ways of arranging my home, new colours I might like

Hands up if you have an item of IKEA furniture in your home. Silly question; who doesn’t?! I hadn’t realised until moving up to Manchester that one of my new local IKEA stores in Warrington, Cheshire, was actually the first to open in the UK, back in October 1987. Growing up in South London my first experience of the big Swedish blue-and-yellow store was when the Croydon outpost opened in the early 90s on the site of the
