Painted Furniture for Spring

In the PineSolutions office we are full of the joys of spring after a lovely sunny weekend. And we are lusting after some of our stunning painted furniture which will brighten up any room in your home. So get the feather duster out, give you home a good old clean and treat it to some of our lovely painted furniture ranges for a revitalising and refreshing new look.


My personal favourite is our Fayence range of bedroom furniture. This cream painted range has a distinctive French influence in its curved lines and ornate detailing. The elegant dressing table (£174.80) would make a stunning console table if used in a living room, and with a large vase of freshly cut flowers would create a cheerful spring look.


For more contemporary tastes, the Marlow range of bedroom furniture is painted a soft off white and has elegant silver handles and sharp clean lines for a modern look. I would team the Marlow Double Bed (£199) with a bright coloured duvet cover for a vibrant look to see you into summer.

Brit Insurance Design Awards 2009

The entries at this years Brit Insurance Design awards pushed the boundaries of convention to produce some stunning examples of modern design. Nominated by a group of internationally respected design experts, curators, critics and enthusiasts, the shortlist is a prestigious place to be!


The brightly coloured entry of Adam Goodrum's 'Stitch Chair' certainly captures your attention, and was enough to win the Sydney-based designer a contract with esteemed Italian brand Capellini. The clever construction allows the chair to be completely flattened in a matter of seconds.


A personal favourite is the gravity defying Stack by Shay Alkalay. This unmissable creation challenges our perception of what a chest of drawers can be. The 'floating' drawers are made in different sizes, and can actually be pushed and pulled in both directions which results in the creation of a spectacularly sculptural form.


The winner of the Furniture Design group? The MYTO cantilevered plastic chair from Konstantin Grcic, which through rigorous experimentation and research may be on its way to becoming a design classic…
