Mark Tuckey’s latest range is designed for apartment living

May 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

In great news for apartment-dwelling Mark Tuckey fans, his latest range has been designed just for them. In response to myriad customer requests, the brand’s new range features plenty of covetable pieces for compact spaces and we’re loving it. “We’re striving to create more furniture that suits a broader market – apartments are a good example. We have so many people in the store who live in an apartment and simply can’t fit the larger pieces in their homes, but they want the look and feel of what we do. We’re creating more choice for them, as the apartment living trend continues to grow,” says creative director Louella Tuckey.

MT_Bistro_002_HR

Bistro table – beautiful and compact

The Bistro table is a new, neat design that certainly fulfills the apartment brief.  “The Bistro table is our answer to continuous requests for small cafe tables,” says Louella. We love the the central detail on the top where the legs pop through and finish flush with the table top. “That detail gives it a point of difference, and adds the love.”

MT_ClassicDT_Grey_014_HR

Classic Round dining table – we’re loving the grey-wash finish

The Classic Round dining table is another piece that is ideal for apartment living. “This design has gone back to the more traditional tapered leg but in a contemporary context. We’re loving this one as it’s a really friendly little table,” says Louella.

Aside from its pared back simplicity, Mark Tuckey’s furniture is notable for its gorgeous timber finishes and his latest collection is no exception. A lover of American Oak, Mark has branched out into the world of pine recently and is experimenting with different finishes too. “We’ve been trying to play with oil finishes for quite a while and we’re getting a greyed-off effect that we’re loving. The colour really permeates the timber and the finish is quite matte so we’re feeling pretty happy with the results. The new Refectory table is in the ‘grey oil finish’ so it has a soft soft grey tone instead of the usual honey colour of standard oiled oak,” says Louella, who explains that the brand is experimenting with white and charcoal black finishes too.

MT_BasicBed_V1_004_HR

Basic Bed – we’re loving the use of pine

A stand-out in the range, the Basic Bed uses pine to great effect and boasts a beautifully simple design. “The Basic bed is a grown up version of the Basic daybed and it’s ticking all the boxes for me. The headboard is a good, solid simple structure that you can pop a glass of water up on. The foot doesn’t pop too far up above the mattress but gives the bed a finishing point visually. The bed also has lovely, beachy, simple side rails,” says Louella.

MT_PlinthEnt_002_HR

Plinth sideboard

With its Scandinavian influences, the Plinth sideboard and entertainment unit is another noteworthy piece. “It sits back with the Plinth sofa, and though super simple, I feel like the proportions are really working. The sideboard is very much inspired by the proportions of the classic Danish sideboard that we’d all recognise from 1950’s Danish design, which I’m quite partial to,” says Louella.

MT_RefDT_Grey_005_HR

Refectory table

The brand is continuing with their Cotton On collaboration too – a project they are really enjoying. “Our homewares partnership with Cotton On continues happily and we have new ranges lined up ready to go. Lots of new product has just gone online and instore at the larger Cotton On stores, and we’re all looking at growing the range and the essence of the brand,” says Louella.

Is there a more decadent and delicious soup than F Is there a more decadent and delicious soup than French onion?

I think not!

Grab the recipe on the blog this morning via link in bio.
Get to know me! I haven't done one of these in YE Get to know me!

I haven't done one of these in YEARS so there's possibly thousands of you who don't know my back story. Here's a few things you may not know about me!

✔️ I'm English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and I moved here (just for one year) back in 2008😆 

✔️ I can't end the day without a bath, even if I get home really late or on a really hot day. It's a mental health thing and my happy place. 🛁 

✔️ Before becoming a blogger and running my own small business, I was a journalist from the age of 18. My favourite news gathering times were as a newspaper crime reporter (bit different to interiors!) 📓 

✔️ I once worked at New Scotland Yard in London 🚔 

✔️I had an interview at Oxford (didn't get in!) but chose not to go to uni at all after being offered a job on the local paper #universityoflife 😁

✔️ My mum died when I was 3, I have an excellent dad and one sister (younger) in the UK ❤️ 🇬🇧 

✔️ At school, my favourite subject was French 🇫🇷 and I was head girl 🤓🤓

✔️ I'm addicted to ☕️ , long hot baths and💄 (been wearing it since I was about 14!)

✔️ I'm not a phonecall person and will never ever pick up an unknown number. Ever. They can leave a message 😁

✔️ My favourite cuisine is Japanese 🍣 🍜 and Damian and I honeymooned in Tokyo and Venice 

✔️ I have zero design qualifications. I just started blogging about my passion, which is trying to persuade everyone to #heartyourhome That was 11 years ago...

✔️ My favourite tipple is a good GnT or🍷 

✔️ Cheesy as it sounds, 💁‍♀️being a mum is my absolute biggest joy in life 🧒👦

✔️ I will never give up my old school paper diary! Has to be A5 and week to view 📖 

✔️ My official surname isn't Bishop. I kept my maiden name for work after I got married but changed it for everything else. Often confuse myself!

✔️ I didn't get my Ps until I was 37 and I'm still a terrible parker 😯 🅿️

Hope you feel like you know me a bit better 😘

Blue, green or lilac? 🎨 @nood_co coloured con Blue, green or lilac? 🎨 

@nood_co coloured concrete basins is a great Aussie business success story. Although co founder Matt Di Costa first found fame as one half of Matt and Kim on The Block, he hasn't relied on this to build his brand.

“We are very honoured to have been a part of The Block, and all they have done for us. I am, however, a believer in letting the product take centre stage,” he says.

Read our interview with Matt via link in bio now.

I'd love to see more colour in Aussie interiors! I'd love to see more colour in Aussie  interiors! 🎨 

At the end of the day though, it's a matter of personal taste. I love pops of colour but it's not for everyone. 

We couldn't resist featuring this Canadian house tour today. The amazing Kelly Green  hutch (swipe) was an upcycled $200 find 🤗

Head over to the blog via link in bio to see the rest including one of the best playrooms we've seen in ages!

The things that excite me as a 40 year old 🤭 N The things that excite me as a 40 year old 🤭

None of us enjoy laundry (OK, there are a few of you out there who do. Weird!) but we have to do it. And often. So if your laundry bin can be as good looking, functional and space saving as this, then why wouldn't you?!

I've lost track of how many baskets I've thrown out because they've gone soggy or mouldy. They look pretty, sure, but they're not fit for purpose and they're often messy and overflowing.

Here's what I love about his @brabantia_australia one:

✔️ ventilation holes
✔️ no need to remove the lid for small items plus it hides your dirty laundry from view
✔️ easily removable and washable inner laundry bag that velcros back on 
✔️ corrosion resistant so fine in bathroom or laundry 
✔️ Brabantia make things as sustainably as possible
✔️ compact, sleek, European design
✔️ 10 year warranty
✔️ tall and skinny so takes up less floor in my tiny laundry

The Rolls Royce of laundry bins? I think so 👌🏻

TOLD you this was going to be exciting!

Now I need to know, do you have your laundry basket in the bathroom, the laundry, every bedroom? We used to have one in each bedroom but moved to the laundry-only situation which I much prefer (one for colours and one for whites). My boys know to put their used clothes in the bin in the laundry each night and they're 7 and 3!  #raisingfuturehusbands

"Living rooms are important spaces where our publi "Living rooms are important spaces where our public and private lives intersect."

So says stylist @nataliewalton in her gorgeous new book Style, the Art of Creating a Beautiful Home.

"They are where we gather to welcome guests and entertain. But they are also where we decompress and relax at the end of the day. Increasingly, they are open-plan spaces and need to work within a greater scheme. Bringing all the elements together cohesively requires care and consideration. And, if you want a space that lives up to its true potential, make it personal and create with conviction."

Read an extract, the chapter on elevating your living room, on the blog today via link in bio.
