It’s no secret that at The Living House we love plants! Whether in our own homes or in schemes for our customers, we feel that no room is complete without a plant (or two or three!).

It’s that time of the year again when (fingers crossed!) we can all get out in the garden and enjoy some sun!!

We love using independent home stores when designing our customers' homes. You can always find interesting individual pieces that you can’t always find on the high street. And most importantly, we love supporting amazing small businesses!

Some homes just seem to have that something extra. It’s not so much about the style or the amount of money that has been spent on the finishes, but something that’s harder to pinpoint, something more elusive. It’s more that the room feels cohesive and well, just effortlessly ‘put together’
