Interiors UK 2012: Furniture goes regally purple for the Diamond Jubilee
I vividly remember the 1977 Silver Jubilee as a small child: the excitement, the street parties, making hats and decorating my favourite skirt with red, white and blue crepe paper.

Even the main entrance into Interiors UK has been stylishly designed, with uber cool matt moss green panelling, interspersed with recessed glass boxes containing typically 'English' items. Lots of animals to be seen, another interiors trend which has grown over recent years. I headed to the main ' designed areas' first, deciding to leave the... Continue Reading →
