Furniture has been individually sourced for its simplicity and style using solid wood, metal, reclaimed timber, and crisp linens . Weathered oak is the mainstay of the collection, because it can blend seamlessly with both contemporary and more traditional interiors, and a white oiled finish is hand applied to retain the grey-white look. Oak pieces are based on classic French and British styling but with a more pared-back feel, and more contemporary, industrial metal and wood pieces add a touch of glamour. Four different and unusual table lamps complete the look , such as the metal ‘weathered grey urn and tall turned lamps’, with a whitened, distressed matt surface .

It takes advantage of the natural light provided by the skylights in the centre of the store. House of Fraser chose to include a living wall to improve air quality in their stores for both staff and visitors as well as improving people’s sense of wellbeing. The living wall brings nature into the heart of the store. To include this wonderful aesthetic into commercial or residen- tial designs call Scotscape’s friendly team, we offer a CPD about living walls which has assisted many designers to understand more and specify living walls with confidence.
