Trend News: Desert Chic July 21 2017

One of the year's hottest trends, desert chic takes its influence from a desire to travel and escape to far-flung places; drawing inspiration from Mexico and South America, to the plains of Africa. This bohemian infused trend is easily adaptable and can add an instant calmness to a space. Alternatively add a little colour for a fun and vibrant look!

To get the look in your home, choose from quirky cactus infused home accessories, faux botanicals and glass terrariums, to bring a touch of the outdoors in; to textured stone finished vases, rustic seagrass storage baskets and printed cotton woven throws...

Trend News: Hygge November 16 2016

There's one word that we keep seeing pop up this season time and time again and that's 'hygge' (pronounced 'hoo-ga'). Hygge isn't so much a 'thing' as a way of life, a lifestyle, a feeling. Confused? Let us explain...

Hygge, which originates from Denmark (named the happiest nation in the world) is all about creating a warm, cozy atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life, with people you care about. Lighting some relaxing candles or having a long soak in a hot bath is hygge. Snuggling up under a blanket with a good book is hygge. Sipping a mug of hot chocolate in front of an open fire with your family is hygge. Inviting loved ones round for drinks or a home-cooked dinner is hygge. Long walks along the beach with friends is hygge.

    
Inspiration source: Pinterest 

Although generally associated with winter and Christmas, hygge is very much an all year round way of life and although it's become somewhat of a trend this season, it's certainly not something new and it's a lifestyle concept that we're more than happy to embrace! 

To get you and your home hygge ready, we've pulled together a few of our favourite pieces from our autumn winter homeware range...

  ;  

From left to right, from top: Seagrass Storage Baskets (pair) £29.50; Diamond Woven Cotton Throw (£49.50); Gold Pineapple (£19.50); Star Tea Light Holder in antique silver (£4.50 each); Large Stag Hook (£12.45); Bronze Geometric Ceramic Vase (£19.90); You Are Awesome Cushion (£17.50); Industrial Reclaimed Dining Table (£399.00); Wire Illustrated Bike Paper Clips (£3.90); Friends Are The Family You Choose Enamel Mug (£7.95); Simple Industrial Wire Cage Pendant Ceiling Lights available in cylinder, rose and cone (£79.00 each) and round Rustic Rattan Storage Basket (£28.00).

Salvaged Vintage January 14 2015

If you're anything like us, you'll be more than familiar with that warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling you get when you come across a new (well, technically old!) vintage or salvaged find for your home. Whether it's something practical that you've been hunting for for a while, or something, well that you don't actually need, but you know just the place to display it!

The real beauty of vintage and salvaged is that no two pieces are ever the same. Those minor flaws and the general wear and tear that's accumulated over the years, not only tells a story but adds character and an unrivalled charm and beauty; in turn adding a sense of individuality and uniqueness to a home.

Below are just some of the interiors, channelling vintage and salvaged, that inspire us...

Now, get the look with some of our favourite vintage and salvaged finds, from milk churns and surveyors tripod to wooden crates and leather luggage - all available exclusively through our online store...

Also, don't be afraid to mix vintage with contemporary and industrial. Interior design may be influenced by trends, but it's about creating a space that's personal to you and your style.

Trend News: Industrial Revolution October 16 2014

Originating from New York, the trend for industrial décor and urban loft style living shows no sign of slowing down. Here at The Den & Now we have a range of stylish industrial homeware to browse, including furniture, home accessories and lighting.

Our handcrafted Reclaimed Industrial Wooden Selving Unit is the ultimate statement in industrial home furniture. Made from vintage wooden crates and reclaimed solid oak wood top, its iron frame is reminiscent of the steel girders found in industrial factories and warehouses. The stand can be used for functional storage or shelving, or simply as a decorative statement piece in the home.

When you think of industrial seating, you naturally think of the humble Industrial Café Chair - the epitome of Parisian style and industrial living. Traditionally found in the bistros and cafés of France, the stackable industrial café chair also features rubber feet to protect floor surfaces. Meanwhile our three-legged Industrial Adjustable Bar Stool is made from antiqued pewter metal and has a reclaimed solid oak seat. Each unique stool is made by hand, so dimensions of frames and wood grain vary slightly. 

Add a raw, salvaged touch to any room or hallway with our Industrial Mirrors - hang individually or as a collective to create a statement on a wall. The lightweight metal frame is hung from natural rope. 

For quick storage solutions, we have a range of industrial influenced home accessories. Our versatile and lightweight Wire Wall Rack is perfect for filing away cards and letters and can easily be fixed to a wall. Meanwhile our quirky Wire Magazine Rack is ideal for larger items such as magazines and books. Made from metal, it has a protective brown industrial rust finish. Simple but functional, our metal Wire Baskets can be used for storage or as a stylish wastepaper bin. Available in small or large, the baskets are protected by a brown rust finish. 

And finally. Creating mood and ambience in a living space is so important and choosing the right lighting can often be challenging. But fear not, we have a carefully curated range of stylish handcrafted industrial lighting to choose from. Our Industrial Cage Desk Lamp, can be used as a desk or side lamp. The bulk head can also be removed so that the light can be hung from a ceiling hook. Our Simple Industrial Wire Cage Pendant Ceiling Lights are stripped back to their barest form and have a distressed rust finish. Available in cylinder, rose and cone shaped cages, the pendants can be hung individually or as part of a cluster to create a unique and stylish installation. Made from brass copper, our Industrial Brass Copper Dome Ceiling Light has an industrial retro design with an antique vintage finish. Hang on its own, or as part of a series to create a dramatic lighting feature above a dining room table or kitchen workspace.

Get Organised For Autumn September 02 2014

It may not be the official start of autumn for another couple of weeks, but as the kids go back and the new school year starts, it marks the end of the summer holidays (*sob*) and the start of a new season (*happy dance*).

So, as we pack away the suncream and sandals for another year, it's time to turn our attention to our homes and getting ourselves organised for the autumn.

With this in mind, we thought we would pull together some of our favourite home accessories and storage solutions to help you declutter and give your home an instant lift!

Meanwhile, our versatile and lightweight Wire Wall Rack is perfect for filing away smaller items such as cards and letters and can easily be fixed to a wall. Simple but functional, our Metal Wire Baskets can be used for storage (we like to use ours for firewood!) or as a stylish wastepaper bin. Available in small or large, the baskets are protected by a brown rust finish. 

Add a little ambience to a room with our handcrafted Industrial Cage Desk Lamp. Ideal as a study lamp, or use as a side lamp in a bedroom or living space. The bulk head can also be removed so that the light can be hung from a ceiling hook.

Alternatively use in a bathroom to hang a robe or towels from.

Lastly, our handcrafted Reclaimed Industrial Wooden Shelving Unit is made from vintage wooden crates and has a reclaimed solid oak wood top. The sturdy iron metal frame gives the piece an overall industrial feel. The stand can be used for practical storage, or simply as a decorative statement piece within the home.

Trend News: Natural Beauty August 27 2014

Natural materials are having their moment in the spotlight; from marble, warm metals and floral prints, to raw and reclaimed wood. Lighter, honey-coloured woods such as oak, cherry and walnut have also replaced the darker shades we've seen over recent years.

Reclaimed wood has been a favourite of interior designers and trendy bars and eateries for some time now, due to it's natural beauty, character and warmth. No two pieces of wood are ever the same. Add to this the 'lived in' rawness of reclaimed wood and the result is a one-off, original piece of furniture for your home.

Our handcrafted Reclaimed Industrial Wooden Shelving Unit is made from vintage wooden crates, reclaimed solid oak wood top and industrial iron metal frame. Use as storage or shelving in a kitchen, or simply as a decorative statement piece in a living space.

Made from antiqued pewter metal, our three-legged Industrial Adjustable Bar Stool has a reclaimed solid oak seat. Each stool is handcrafted so dimensions of frames and wood grain vary slightly, ensuring each one is unique. Our low antique Rustic Wooden Stools, available in small and large, can be used as seating, a side table or for display.

Finally, our Iron and Wooden Triple Hook, made from reclaimed wood, is both practical and decorative. With autumn just around the corner, it's perfect for hanging a jacket or scarf on in your hallway or porch. Alternatively add a touch of rustic charm to your bathroom and use as a towel hook.

We stock an edited selection of furniture and home accessories; from one-off vintage and reclaimed finds, to industrial and contemporary pieces. We also have an array of unusual decorative pieces for the home and handcrafted lighting.

All of our product is handpicked, which means we only choose pieces which we believe have a unique design and quality. Many of the items we stock are one-off pieces, which means you won't find another one exactly the same anywhere else!

As well as offering unique product we also offer a bespoke personal shopping service for our customers - so if there's something that you've seen on our store which is either out of stock, or not quite what you were looking for (perhaps it's a little too big or the wrong colour) then why not get in touch either by email at info@thedenandnow.co.uk or call us on 01244 911 890 and we'll be happy to help.

We hope you enjoy perusing our store as much as we enjoyed creating it - happy shopping folks!
