Summary


Q: I'm on the hunt for a sofa as an investment piece rather than a quick-fix solution, but I'm not struck by the simple lines of some top-end designer versions. Is there a middle ground where comfort meets style with some originality? A: I recently had the pleasure of visiting the furniture fair in Stockholm and couldn't resist resting my weary feet by taking a seat on this gorgeous sofa from Finnish brand Muuto. It caught my eye from quite a distance, which is always a good sign in a huge hall packed with furniture. Perhaps the reason for that is that I, too, am looking for a sofa along exactly the same lines as you describe and I thought the 'Rest' sofa ticked all of those boxes. It's simple and elegant with beautiful detailing in the folds of fabric that 'hug' the arms of this sofa, along with beautifully turned wooden legs, making it quite a collectable piece. And the good news is, that with the current trend for everything Nordic, Momentum Store is introducing the collection to its range this spring, which means you can hot foot it to its Cardiff store and place an order. There are also other covetable products in the range that I would advise checking out, such as the 'Unfold' pendant and cleverly stacking storage. In Finnish, Muuto means 'new perspective', which is certainly something that you can see in its collection of furniture, lighting and accessories. RRP from pounds 2,425 for the Rest sofa. Log on to www.momentumstore.com for more details or call 029 2023 6266.

Q: Where can I buy duvet covers that really break the mould? I'm decorating my 18-year-old son's bedroom so it has to strike the right balance between 'grown-up' and something he will like. Any suggestions? A: This amazing bedlinen with black on white animal print design could be just what you're looking for. It has serious wow factor. What's more, there are five versions of this eye- catching design - 'Bear', 'Deer', 'Wolf' and 'Tree' as well as this 'Moose' version - so as long as the style gets the thumbs-up from you, you could let your son choose! The pillow has a short history about the animal - one side in Danish and the other side English; and the duvet cover and pillowcase are made from high-quality 100% cotton, and has been awarded the ko-Tex Standard 100 environmental certificate, ensuring that no noxious chemicals were used in the manufacturing of the products.
