 Perch on a Union Jack We’ve explored several different ways in which you can bring the Union Jack trend into your home and show your love of all things British, but this is probably one of the most subtle.
The Union Jack bean cube is the perfect place to perch when you need an occasional seat in your home, or to rest your tired feet after a busy day. It’s made by Fleur-de-Lis Furnishings from 100% cotton and, although it will bring a bit of added colour and interest to a room, we rather like the faded colour look of this as opposed to ‘in your face’ bright colour.
The Union Jack bean cube is a nice little piece and a great buy at only £24.99 from HomeSense.

 Modern baroque chair
Isn’t this a striking dining chair? You can’t help but be drawn in by the intricate cut-out detail on the back of the chair.
Produced in a modern baroque style, the dining chair is suitable for use both indoors and outside and is comfortable to sit on, as well as looking very on trend with the cutwork design.
The Aurora modern dining chair is available in black or white (we think the black looks stunning) and is £125 from Love Your Home for Less.

Would you choose one of these stools to go in your home? Do you love the design or loathe it?
The ceramic Bonze stools are part of the Xo range by designer Philippe Starck. Possibly not to everybody’s taste, the sculptural piece with a face in the base doubles up as both a stool and a small side table. It’s been produced in a range of colours, including platinum, gold, black and red, with the shiny finishes of the gold and platinum being quite glitzy and decorative.
You’ll probably have to really love the Bonze stool to buy it, as it’s not cheap. The black and red versions are £578, the gold is £644 and the platinum will set you back £693.
You can find out more about the Bonze stools, or buy one, at Made in Design.

 Useful seating It’s the last week of the furniture sale at John Lewis and there are still some good reductions to be had.
If you’re looking for garden seats, or want to stock up on a few good quality, but inexpensive, chairs to have at hand when you need extra seating, then these garden dining chairs are a good buy.
Available in a light mocha (pale brown) shade, these contemporary dining chairs are made from steel, with a coloured powder coating. The chairs come fully assembled, so there’s no tricky DIY to manage, and they stack for easy storage.
As well as using them for outdoor gardening, the chairs would be really useful for extra seating indoors too. They’re £20 from John Lewis.

 Once a tyre, now a stool At Fresh Design Blog, we do love good examples of recycling and this clever stool, which is made from recycled rubber tyres, is a prime example.
The patterns from the tyres work remarkably well on the cylindrical stool and the end result is a stylish design that’s also very hard wearing and durable.
The stool itself measures 50cm by 43cm and it’s suitable for use both inside your home and outside in the garden.
Get your recycled tyre rubber stool from The Urban Garden.

Award-winning British textile designer, Selina Rose, has released a new 2010 collection of homeware items. All made from 100% wool felt, and featuring her trademark cutwork designs, two of the items that caught our eye are the unusual Scale Stool and the Flutterby butterfly cushions.
The Scale Stool is inspired by origami and is part of the range of ‘Cut and Fold’ homewares. The felt is partially cut to create folds in the felt, which look really effective. Shown here in a vivid pink, the stool is available in a choice of 17 colours and is made to order.
The distinctive Flutterby cushions have been popular for a while, but new for 2010 are three more colours – pink, lime and orange. The cut and fold effect of the butterfly wings lift up to reveal contrasting colours behind them. Measuring 45cm by 45cm the cushions are £89 each.

 Comfy, contemporary deckchairs The sun may have temporarily gone in, but we’re still dreaming of sitting outside relaxing in the sun and these deck chairs are fit for the purpose.
Made from a light weight aluminium frame, which makes them easy to take in and out of the garden, the chairs have a great rocking ability. What impresses us most, though, is the comfortable built in head rest – perfect for lying back in comfort.
The rocking deck chairs are available in a choice of pink, white or blue and can be found at Graham and Green.

Perfect for the weather today – I’d love to be settling down in the green one for a relaxing doze in the shade - these beech wood deck chairs are styled in the Classic Penguin Books design.
Choose from The Garden Party, by Katherine Mansfield (orange deck chair) or The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler (green deck chair).
Both chairs are available to order from Heal’s.
