INTERIORS

art IN THE home

BY LISAMARIE LAMB

Your home is the one place you have complete control over – you can decorate it to match your
personality, fill it with things that make you smile, and make it truly unique. Art today isn’t limited
to the canvas or potter’s wheel, but can be found in furniture, kitchenware, bathroom accessories,
and even utensils. Everything can be art – it’s just a matter of knowing where to look.

Best Double
Vertigo Pendant
Cooker Hood

Chest of Drawers – Margate Collection
Zoe Murphy’s
hometown of
Margate has always
been her muse, and
reusing and
regenerating
furnishings that are
no longer seen as
useful into
something that no
home should be
without is this
designer's MO. By
exploring different
materials and
colours, and
matching them to
the piece of furniture
in question, art is
made – and this art
cannot only be
enjoyed visually, but these aesthetically pleasing products can be used as
everyday items, such as this stunning chest of drawers.
Price on application – each item is unique.

Silk smooth curves
and shining stainless
steel combine in this
exquisite Double
Vertigo cooker hood
to give you the ultimate
in chic cooking
equipment. The
elliptical shape is
elegant and modern,
and not only does this
hood look good, but it
works incredibly
efficiently as well, with
touch controls,
halogen lights, and a
charcoal filter that
eradicates grease
whilst cooking.

Constellations Bed

Perhaps the most important piece of furniture you’ll own, your bed should
certainly say something about you, your style, and your taste. It is where
your dreams are made – literally – so why not pick a bed frame that reflects
that? This fairytale bed design is made from handpicked driftwood, and the
designers and crafters believe that each piece has a story behind it. What
stories will this bed tell you?

Quirky, original, yet comfortable and stylish, it perhaps seems odd that not
more stools are actually knitted. Using sustainable materials and employing
knitting techniques that product chunky, original, and unique designs, ClaireAnne O’Brien’s big knitted patterns are perfect for creating the most cosy
and warming feeling of home.
