7 things I'd buy for my living room if money was no object!
We can all dream about what we'd buy if we won the lotto right? In fact, I think it's healthy to create an online wish list of things you'd pounce for if cash was at your disposal. It makes you really think what exactly you'd like in your home, and whether it's even worth picking up lots of cheap items rather than saving for bigger items you'll love for years instead.
I thought I'd share what's on my wish list at the mo. Some financially achievable, some seriously not.
Just ignore the price tag for now, and look at how rich and beautiful the hand printed silk, piped cushion is. I love the colours, the splash of yellow and autumnal reds and think it would go beautifully on our Chesterfield sofa in our living room. Sigh, if only I had £400 knocking around...
2. Winston Aniline Ash Leather sofa, and matching pouffe!
I love deep mahogany brown leather sofas. There's something so cosy, wintery and traditional about them that make them instantly give an expensive feel to a room. Furniture Choice stock a pretty nice range with small wheels that I think would look so cute as a mismatched sofa beside our Chesterfield. If only we had the extra space!
3. Wood burning stove for a country-chic open fire - without the mess.
We currently have a decorative fireplace with bare brick at the back and resting inside are some logs just waiting for a wood burner to be installed to fire up the chimney. Our next big purchase on the house will be something like this Ashdown wood burning suite from Next. It's long been Neil & I's dream to have an open fire and we can't wait to eventually get one built in come winter 2016.
4. Candlesticks galore from John Lewis, £15 each
Okay this doesn't break the bank if you buy just one, but I'd plan to buy a whole group of different sized candles with different coloured candlesticks and place them all together decoratively on the hearth. I have an obsession with copper at the moment, since buying a round copper mirror from Oliver Bonas, these would match beautifully :)
6. Wicker basket storage, Marks & Spencer, £39.50 for a pack of 3
Well, when I own so many Bronte blankets one day, I'm going to need some top notch wicker storage baskets to house them! I'm addicted to wicker. These baskets from M&S look like they're fantastic quality, and really not a bad price if you think about the cost-per-use ;) washing, products, towels, bed sheets, blankets, wicker baskets are so handy to have lying around and I love their countryesque traditional feel.
I speak for every woman that has ever stepped into Zara Home and smelled the sweet aromas of their wide range of infusers when saying, Zara Home is the epitomises dreamy home ware. If I was minted, I would deck my whole home in all things Zara, like this luxurious rose gold candle holder which would make a wonderful centrepiece to any table this Christmas.
I best start saving for the January sales eh?!
