Storage solutions and occaisional chairs
Emma and Nick, from the Velvet lifestyle and furniture stores, answer your design questions
I’m looking for an occasional chair or sofa for my dressing room.The décor of the room is cream and gold so it must match! What do you suggest?
Jenny Hardy, Hove
Emma says: Wow, it all depends on your budget! The great thing about occasional chairs is you can go for luxury materials that wouldn’t always withstand the daily wear and tear that usual living room furniture goes through.
Our Versailles range is upholstered in a beautiful pale silk and is finished in genuine gold leaf – this is a luxurious range that will blow the budget but is truly worth it! The two seater settee (pictured) is priced at £725. For a cheaper option though, why not take a look at our range of Chaise Longue with prices starting at just £295.
I seriously lack storage in my home, for everything from clothes to clutter. What do you suggest?

Nick says: The look of your home hugely depends on what to suggest really. We have lots of stylish solutions online and in store to help you conquer the clutter – from practical hooks to huge sideboards. One of our best selling items through all our different collections, from French to modern, is chest of drawers. The great thing about chests is their versatility.
They sit equally well in bedrooms and living rooms and can house everything from your summer wardrobe going into hibernation over the winter to little bits and pieces that you need to easily have to hand. The Brooklyn chest (pictured, £425) is made from solid oak and has enough drawers to hold everything!
