 Mirrored drawers Mirrors are great for helping give a room a sense of space and helping smaller areas look bigger than they really are. As well as hanging a mirror on the wall, another way of making use of the power of mirrors is to invest in mirrored furniture.
One carefully chosen piece, or a couple of items, should do the trick - too much mirrored furniture, and it could look over-done.
We really like the mirrored furniture available from Graham Green, like the Josephine mirrored drawers. Stylishly designed and well made, the drawers have a great mirrored finish which enhances the room they’re used in. The three large drawers provide some excellent storage space too, open smoothly and are finished off with simple chrome handles.
The drawers would be perfect for use in a bedroom, lounge or even a hallway.

 Nifty magazine stool This doesn’t look much, but it’s a really clever idea! If you’ve got loads of magazines hogging the magazine rack, rather than recycling them or giving them away (or, shock, horror, throwing them out), now you can make them into your own usable piece of furniture.
ENO have made a strong black nylon strap which you can wrap around a pile of magazines, tighten and make into a stool to sit on. If you were to simply pile up a stack of magazines, sitting on them would inevitably involve one or more sliding and coming adrift, so the nylon strap solves those issues.
The book stool strap is also available in red and you can buy them from Made in Design.

 Sink down into a chaise longue We love classic pieces of furniture that have been given a contemporary twist, so couldn’t help but like this gorgeous chaise longue when we spotted it at Mooch.
The elegantly shaped chaise longue (or ‘long chair’) is given a stylish and up-to-date feel by the colourful, stripy Designers Guild chenile fabric and the lime upholstering. The piece is finished off with beech feet and the matching cushions are available to purchase separately.
It looks great, but would also be a comfortable piece of furniture on which to relax, unwind, and put your feet up, after a busy day.
The stripy chaise longue is available from Mooch.

Bring your favourite comic heroes into your home, in the form of these unusual comic decoupage chairs.
Handmade from reclaimed vintage 1950s chairs, the chairs have been re-designed and given a completely new look, with the help of comic decoupage.
If you’ve got a favourite comic, then you can pick which one you’d like adorning the chair - the blue one above, for example, features Superman. You also get to choose the colour of the seat pad.
If comics aren’t your cup of tea, there’s also the option to have a chair covered in the pages of a favourite magazine, map or even a newspaper.
These unique chairs are created by Bombus and are available to order through Not On The High Street.

 Leather Park Lane TV bed A leather bed is the ultimate in luxury and this one, from Furniture Village, has the added bonus of also having a 26″ HD LCD TV built into it.
The flat screen TV is in the foot of the bedstead and there’s space provided to house a DVD player too, with connections for a SCART and two HDMi cables. All the cables and wires are cleverly hidden beneath the slatted beech wooden base, so you won’t be faced by wires as you get in and out of bed.
The double leather TV bed is available in a range of five colours, including this lovely pale cream shade. The usual Furniture Village price for the Park Lane TV Bed is £4795, but if you buy it now, it’s only £2595.

 Modern gloss bedside table This modern gloss finish bedside table provides the look and style of a gloss finish, but without some of the usual limitations.
The drawers are finished in a lovely burgandy gloss finish, but the surround of the bedside table is in larch. This means that everytime you put something on the top of the bedside table, or touch it, you won’t leave behind fingermarks, as you would with a fully glossy finish. It’s also nice to have a pale colour mixed with a contrasting darker colour.
The table is part of the modular bedroom range at Space2, which also has pieces in black gloss, but you can easily use it as a standalone piece on its own.
The two drawers are finished off with long silver handles and the whole piece measures 51.2cm by 50cm by 44cm in size.
The burgandy bedside table is avilable from Space2 for £109.
