EASY ELEGANCE

The mu ted colours, clean lines and the classy finish of the Valentina Collection from Home Box make it the perfect range for those starting out

Home Box’s Valentina collection is great for a starter home that needs simple, sleek and stylish furniture in ranges for bedroom, living room and dining. All the pieces from the Valentina collection have a melamine finish, which means that it’s handy in the house of family with young kids – food spilled on the table? Its water-repellent surface is easy to clean with a simple wipe down and doesn’t stain. It’s also scratch resistant which means that the sturdy tables, beds and sofa sets will bounce back from the rough and tumble of kids playing around without any visible damage.

There’s plenty to love about the two-tone design of the collection – the neutral mix of beige and dark brown makes it easy to mix and match with colours of existing furniture in your house if you’re only buying individual pieces. What’s more, the melamine-laminated body is heat and moisture resistant, which means when you’re away on holiday during the summer you don’t have to work about heat and humidity ravaging your furniture.

The collection comes with clever storage solutions that saves space while being functional making it great for studio flats and one-bedroom apartments. The cushioned and comfortable bed headboard has a storage-and-display rack that saves you the trouble of finding an additional side table. The rack easily works like a mantelpiece storing photo frames, alarm clocks, show pieces and more. The multifunctional feature is part of the dining table too

– it extends to seat six people and can be folded away when you’re not entertaining dinner guests. Coffee tables for the living room collection come with an additional shelf underneath so you can stow away your magazines, newspapers and TV remotes safely, so the next time you want to catch up on your favourite show, you’ll spend more time watching it than hunting for the remote. The Valentina collection is just the start – Home Box offers a range of economical collections of furniture and décor items across homeware categories, including bathrooms, making it the one-stop shop for all your home furnishings and décor needs.
