Price Points: Metal garden benches

Metal garden benches

We keep getting little glimpses of the summer to come – and then the cold and rain returns to remind us to be patient. We’ve spent a fair amount of time in the garden already this year – clearing, pruning, planting and generally pottering. We’ve even had the opportunity to have a couple of al fresco meals and cups of coffee.

There are a few favourite spots where we often pause – to just enjoy the experience of being outdoors; one is the bench outside the front door. A feature of living where we live is the amount of rain and damp weather we have to contend with – the wooden slats on our garden furniture doesn’t like it one bit.

When the time comes, we’ll be replacing them with metal garden benches. These three are among the ones that have caught my fancy. The yellow one exactly matches the colour of our doors and windows. The shade of green of the mid-priced one looks great in any garden, and the curvaceous shape looks like it would be a very comfortable seat. The antique version has weathered at least a hundred years of being outdoors, I’m sure it could withstand our Welsh climate,

Durability

You must invest in good quality furniture that can satisfy all the specifications and requirements that you need. Thorough research on the materials is important. A Le Corbusier chair is a great option if you’re looking for durability. The frame is constructed from high quality stainless steel – robust and virtually indestructible. The seats and headrest are top quality leather – comfortable yet hard-wearing leather. Both of these principal materials are also easy to clean and maintain. All these factors combine to give you a piece of furniture that should last a lifetime.

Design

The main aim of a chair is to offer comfort and restfulness. This is a factor to bear in mind for chairs in every part of the house, but it’s particularly important in the living room as it’s an area intended for relaxation. The Le Corbusier brand of chairs has a unique and elegant design that was made to satisfy human comfort. The chairs adjust to the user’s desired position, holding and supporting the human body perfectly whether sitting or reclining.

Price

Chairs are a necessity for every living room. They differ hugely in price depending on design, materials and style. Some may be expensive, yet the quality doesn’t correlate. You must invest wisely to acquire a good quality piece that still offers value for money. With this in mind, the Le Corbusier brand of chairs is certainly something to consider; and the price tag is affordable. The durability and timeless style also mean that it’s a long term investment – this furniture will serve you well for many years.

Pair of vintage leather club chairs | H is for Home

Anyone after some vintage leather club chairs? We picked this pair up last week and they’ve just gone into our shop space.

Detail of a vintage leather club chair arm | H is for Home

When we bought them they looked very tired, dry and dusty. So we had a TLC day applying leather cream and wood wax – and also tacked and glued some small rips and loose Hessian lining. We’ve put a bit of warmth and colour into them. The patina will continue to improve with continued handling (rubbing your hands along the arms as you sit in front of a wood-burner with a glass of wine always helps!).

They’re very comfortable indeed, so sitting in front of a fire with a glass of wine shouldn’t be too much of a chore. They’re available to collect from here in Todmorden – they’re priced at £795 the pair. Any questions, just drop us a line.

Price Points: Quilted seating

Selection of quilted seating options | H is for Home

Quilted homewares are nothing new. There have a long history of (mainly) women – around the world – getting together to sew, share and support each other as they create magnificent works of art.

Recently, we’ve been noticing a big resurgence in quilted soft furnishings; this time, it’s no longer confined to blankets, bedspreads and throws. Quilted seating is offering up a twist on the classics with all new patterns, colours and materials.

Quilted chairs and sofas are so tactile and inviting – sitting or reclining on one is like getting a big warm hug!
