Holidays almost always means visitors, family or friends, and if you like those visitors enough to invite them to stay at your home, you certainly don't want them to sleep on the floor. Unless you're fortunate enough to have a whole dedicated room just for guests (lucky you), you'll need a sleeper sofa. Here's a few sleepers that look comfortable to sit on and comfortable enough to get a decent...Read more

Join them together for an interesting seamless table runner or keep them separate for an easy-to-clean table setting....Read more

Atelier de Troupe is hitting the right sort of note with their Balise collection. Just take a look at the pendant: a little retro Jean Royère inspiration moved this fixture from 'quiet modern' to 'quiet-yet-playful-modern', and that's the secret winning combination when it comes to sophisticated interiors. Four 6" ball glass shades hang side by side to make a 36" width, 40" drop height pendant, which fills a space above...Read more
