Fine dining • If you want to add drama to your dinner table, step away from matching seating and opt for chairs in a different design instead. Choose bright colours to make a statement or complementary tones for an understated look. Eating in has never looked so good…

Plant power • We all love the riot of colour that florals bring to the garden as it emerges out of the winter slog, so why not bring a bit of that energy into your kitchen, too?
