Emerald sitting

Add a touch of glamour to the boudoir with velvet and brass

LEVEL UP

The 32-arm Flemish Chandelier is a massive yoke, no doubt about it. Measuring 140cm wide by 127cm high, it would require a large double-height atrium to do it justice. Expect the spectacular, with 32 bulbs arranged in three tiers and a style that bridges tradition and modernity (€5,500 from mullanlighting.com).

KEEN AS MUSTARD

Shapes are everything this season and this fine little side table will fit right into a contemporary ensemble. It’s a curvy conversation piece, but it’s not too dominant either. The Ayah side table is 46cm high and 46cm in diameter — just under knee-height — and made of powder-coated metal (€195 from aprilandthebear.com).

POSH ACCENT

With scalloped back and brassy legs, the Evelyn accent chair adds a touch of glamour to the boudoir. Relax with a glass of Prosecco and pretend its Champagne. The chair comes in many upholsteries — this one’s velvet botanical print — and prices start at €307 from cultfurniture.com.

GONE POTTY

This large wooden potting ladder makes a feature of plants-in-progress and would work well in a conservatory. It’s 120cm high and weighted for stability, but it does require selfassembly. It’s made from FSC certified weather-resistant wood (€93 from argos.ie)

EXIT PLANET DUST

If you’re playing it safe with large-scale décor, there’s always room for minor eccentricities. This pink lama duster (full length 39cm) is designed to bend into shape for dusting awkward corners and is made of polyester fibre. It costs €14.40 from redcandy.co.uk.
