This one stopped us mid-scroll.

A story broke recently about flame retardant chemicals in UK sofas - and the science behind it is genuinely worth understanding.

As a designer, I spend a lot of time thinking about how a home feels. The atmosphere. The light. The materials on the surfaces we touch every day. But this was a reminder that what a home is made of matters just as much as what it looks like.

The chemicals don’t stay locked inside the foam. They escape into the air of the room you relax in every evening. The room you’ve spent time and thought making feel right. The regulations are changing and there are already makers building without chemical treatment entirely - plus vintage furniture made before 1988 that never contained them! Both worth knowing about.

I’ve shared the full piece on the blog. Head over to the link in bio, it’s worth a read!

What do you think - is this something you’d ever considered?

From the very beginning, James knew exactly how he

From the very beginning, James knew exactly how he wanted this room to feel.
Not the colours. Not the finishes. Just the feeling. Somewhere defined. Somewhere that was unmistakably his.
We talked about the atmosphere of a gentlemen’s club -dark wood, worn leather, a room that has earned its quiet authority. It sat at the opposite end of the spectrum from the rest of the house. And that was entirely the point.

What connects it isn’t the palette. It’s the warmth of the materials, the texture you want to touch, the personal pieces that make a room feel inhabited rather than styled.

The ceiling is painted in the darkest, most saturated blue-green, the kind of colour that doesn’t open a room up, it draws it in. Holds it. Makes it feel like somewhere you’d actually want to sit and think.

The joinery was designed by us and as ever, perfectly executed by @house_of_kane_joinery.

If you could dream your office space, how would it feel?

I think a hallway has a few small but mighty jobs

I think a hallway has a few small but mighty jobs to do.

1️⃣ WELCOMING
No one EVER says they don’t want their home to feel warm and welcoming.. so we take that one as a given.

2️⃣GOOD STORAGE
Easy to manage, flexible storage is another key ingredient.

3️⃣ VIEWS
Next up, if it’s at all possible to get a view from the front door through to an outside view or at least a ‘through’ view then you’re onto a winner.

4️⃣ PERSONALITY
And last but not least, it’s great if your hallway can give a little flavour of what’s to come as you walk through it into the next connecting space. Not only will you feel home as soon as you walk through the door, your guests will feel it too!

I think this hallway nails all four!
