furniture ideas

[Caterpillar0]

I'm looking for furniture inspiration. Where do people buy living room stuff? I've trawled through homebase and john lewis for sofas. Some nice stuff but I'd like to see some more funky pieces.

Who sells contemporary furniture in the UK?

Dwell is a personal fave of mine.

I think Dwell has gone into receivership?

Made have some nice looking stuff (made.com) but there are mixed reviews of quality/customer services.

I like habitat.co.uk and nest.co.uk and have found quite a lot of stuff locally on ebay too.

For new stuff, we looked at Raft, Lombok and Heals. But the great majority of our furniture we bought at auction - auctions handle modern stuff as well.

Our sofa came from Multiyork. They had a really good range of options for upholstery/cushion firmness/choice of feet etc. We had almost no furniture to start with and the only things we bought new were the sofa, an armchair, a coffee table and a unit to put the TV on.

great suggestions folks! thanks.

Buying furniture is one of the largest investments you will make as a home owner. You'll use it every day for years to come, so make sure you make an educated choice when browsing through the available options.Quality is important when you purchase furniture and must be considered regardless of price.
