 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.

 Gorgeous velvet sofa This sofa has the best name ever - the Snooze!
Designed by Jamie Graham, the modern style sofa also has the perfect dimensions for curling up on, so you can snooze away to your hearts content. The velvet fabric adds to the effect, making it luxurious, cosy and inviting.
The Snooze sofas are made to order in England, with each one made from a beech wood frame. They come as a 2.5 seat size or a three seater sofa.
As well as this gorgeous purple velvet, they’re also available in cornflower blue, midnight blue, mink, raspberry or the multicolour kenzo stripe.

 Cuddle up on the love seat
We’ve featured loveseats suitable for the conservatory or garden before (like the Orbit loveseat from Conran), but here’s one that’s perfect for cuddling up on indoors too.
This wide Ankara loveseat is perfectly designed to fit two people comfortably, with plenty of spare space, and is a nice solid piece of furniture.
It’s available in various neutral colours, including light oatmeal, which will fit in well with many colour schemes.
The loveseat is available from Dwell and sells for £449.

 Ginny Avison patchwork sofa
I’ve got a bit of a thing at the moment for patchwork sofas. I saw a lovely one on display in a Cath Kidston shop last week (yes, really - it was a little bit shabby chic, but not too bad) and a patchwork-like sofa in Ikea today, that was more contemporary in style.
But now I’ve found Ginny Avison, who specialises in designing patchwork furniture, and think this vibrant Wow sofa is gorgeous.
The sofa is a classic Chesterfield shape, with curved arms, and it’s been upholstered in a vibrant array of diamond shaped patchwork pieces. It would be a wonderful splash of colour to have in a room - in fact, you could get away with having it as the only major colour provider in a room.
The Wow sofa is available in small, medium or grande sizes and, if vibrant colours aren’t your cup of tea, you can choose more muted shades or even design your own colour scheme.
Find out more about the sofa, and other patchwork furniture, on Ginny Avison’s website.

 Plumo pink sari bench The new Autumn range from Plumo has recently launched and we couldn’t help spotting the Pink Sari Bench - not least as it’s the same design as the infamous Kimono Bench that we’ve featured before.
This time it’s available in a pink patchwork fabric, which is made from an Indian sari, and it has the same red lacquered legs and handy little storage area under the seat. Plumo has it priced at £159.
After a little bit of digging around, we’ve discovered it’s made by a Dutch company called Colorique. It’s part of a range called Piece of Cake, that is really aimed at children, and they also do it in a sea blue colour too.
 Colorique Pink Treasure Chest Sofa The only difference with the bench Plumo are selling is that the Colorique pink and blue benches have white wooden legs instead of red. Instead of a bench, they describe it as a ’sofa treasure chest.’
We’ve yet to find any other UK retailers selling it, but will be looking out carefully as, like before, we suspect it may be cheaper to purchase elsewhere.
As nice as the sari fabric is, we personally prefer the original Kimono one, with its vibrant shades of red and blue.
What do you think? Is a pink bench your cup of tea? Or what colours would you prefer?

 Contemporary love sofa
What better way to curl up on your own, or with your loved one, in the garden, than on this romantic love sofa?
Love seats are all the rage, and this all-weather rattan love sofa, with it’s big comfy cushions, has the added bonus of also having a pull down canopy. The canopy will provide much needed shade on hot summer days, but also offer some protection from the breeze, and means you don’t need to worry about positioning a sun umbrella next to it, as you do with other designs.
The love sofa comes in dark or light rattan, with base cushions and four scatter cushions and is available from Bau Outdoors. Relaxation doesn’t get better than this!
If you’re a fan of the love seat concept, then we’ve also featured the Conran Orbit loveseat.

Just in case you missed it, another bargain price has been spotted for the lovely oriental patchwork Kimono bench.
* If you remember, Plumo are selling it for £159.
* We spotted it at Berry Red for £129.
* Now Zoe, of Beautiful Things, has found the same bench for the fantastic bargain price of £99!
All three retailers are marketing the bench slightly differently, as well as pricing it at vastly different levels. The £99 price tag is being offered by Funky Kids Furniture, which is a classic example of how one piece of furniture can be viewed as being suitable for a variety of ages.
Don’t be put off by this though, as it’s the same beautiful bench and would save you £60 on the original Plumo price, which can’t be sniffed at!
(No offence to Plumo - we love your products, but we also love bagging a bargain!)
