A full spectrum of toss cushions
The easiest way to toss a little life into your room? With toss cushions in a cacophony of colour. This explosion of patterns and hues is pulled from the room’s artwork and neutralized by its more subtle surroundings.
Caffeine chic
Every day can feel easy like Sunday morning when you sip your coffee from a mug as beautiful as the day you hope you’re about to have. If only morning crosswords were as simple.

Tray tables
Picture this: You’re lounging on your sofa, reading a book or completing a crossword, unconcerned with getting back up, hoping today, just maybe, you won’t have to. You crave a sip of your coffee, a bite of your toast, but realize they’re on the coffee table just out of reach. You consider calling someone in to push it toward you... or maybe just foregoing food altogether for the day. If you had a tray table, though, this wouldn’t be a problem. With one open side, tray tables are the perfect height to be pulled right up to where you’re sitting and you can reach all your stuff, sans any strain.
Artwork
Art truly is in the eye of the beholder – and let this mix of high and low artwork by both bona fide artists and budding ones prove it. Done by students and professionals, this vibrant collection seems kissed by the end of the rainbow and can be the launching point for myriad colour palettes in any space.
