Zoffany the internationally renowned quality fabric and wallpaper house, has introduced four striking collections into their extensive range of beautiful fabrics and wall coverings.

These timeless new collections encompass a rich array of designs in three textile collections and a complementary wallpaper collection.

Each of the classic designs, some dating from as far back as the 17th century, has been adapted from original documents in the Zoffany archive or from museum collections. For example:

The ‘Fleurs Rococo’ papers move away from the trend for statement wallpapers and towards designs that are still aesthetically stunning yet easy to live with.

The collection includes eight traditionally designed wallpapers, which range from a quintessential classic stripe to a flamboyant oriental trail.

The wallpaper designs have been printed with a range of traditional and new techniques to introduce both textural and metallic finishes to the papers.
Pictured here are: Fir Trees FLW02003 and Periwinkle Sage FLW08008.

The ‘Fleurs Rococo’ weave fabrics offer an elegant selection of embroidered brocades, richly patterned with classic and stylised designs.

The colour palettes within the collections, range from the authentic and the traditional to more contemporary combinations.

The new Habitat spring/summer 2008 catalogue launched on 11th February 2008 is bursting with a bold new take on furniture and home accessories.

The collection entitled, ‘Our Kaleidoscope’ is possibly the brightest and boldest statement Habitat has made in recent years, taking inspiration from the compelling and contrary combinations of colour, texture and pattern found in nature.

For spring/summer 08, Habitat is doing what it does best – encouraging customers to think differently about the places they inhabit and the ways in which they live - Habitat’s distinctive attitude towards innovation and creativeness in design are as prevalent as always.

As the season develops from early spring to high summer, consumers will be inspired to style their homes in bold bursts of colour, with three key stories:

• Natural – Predominantly white furniture and accessories; this theme is an easy way to brighten living quarters by keeping things simple yet stylish; heralding an altogether purer looking environment.
• Neutral – This theme is home to most of the eco friendly products. It incorporates their organic bath collection made from pure cotton, natural oak products and an earthier colour scheme.
• Jungle – Using a varied colour palette from warm browns, to bright saffron’s, this theme invites people to be more inspirational when it comes to using colours in the home, with a mixture of multicoloured accessories perfect for any room – this is the most daring and unique of the three.

Shoppers can acquire inspiration with the new catalogue, by picking one up in store, or ordering online:

The chic white furniture design house, New England Lifestyle has opened a new flagship retail store at 54 New Kings Road, Fulham; all of the main items from the hand made and exclusively designed furniture and furnishings range are displayed there on two floors.

New England Lifestyle founder and designer, Nick Burrin, started the company six years ago from a small workshop deep in the West Sussex countryside; the company now features some of the most sought after furniture of its type in the UK.

“I love white because it never goes out of fashion” Nick explains, “Once you’ve tried it in one room, the whole house tends to follow; white is very restful and has a wonderful calming effect on a home.”

Featured here, is the Vermont range- elegant and timeless 2.5/3 seater sofas with swan necked arms, £1468/£1668, Armchair £898, all of which provide a high standard of comfort and quality.

The beech frames are hand made with zig-zag springs, upholstered with fixed covers in the following colours: white, linen, sandstone or cameo.

Nick designs all of the furniture and the unique look is created by combining white emulsion walls and wooden flooring - oak, maple, beech or just simple white painted floorboards – with the colour supplied through curtains, cushions and throws.

This elegant yet simple backdrop, united with the timeless design of the furniture, creates a stylish, unfussy environment, which radiates light, tranquillity and space.
