			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend The Mail on Sunday had a great feature on the floral trend currently hitting interiors, full of inspiration and ideas on how to get the look <a target="_blank" title="for you" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/for-you">for you</a> living space. Featuring lots of bold and bright <a target="_blank" title="home accessories" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/home-accessories">home accessories</a> that all have flower power, the piece explains how even a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers has become an interior must have this season.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>‘It’s the biggest trend in interior design this summer – flowers are blossoming on everything from rugs to sofas. And even the humble bunch of blooms is now a design centrepiece.’ </strong></em></p>
<p><div id="attachment_7525" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/botanica-rug" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-7525" title="1botanica-rug" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/1botanica-rug.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Botanica Rug by Missoni Home</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;"> <em>‘Ground cover to make your rooms Blossom,’</em> The Mail on Sunday know a fabulous designer rug when they see one, featuring our fabulously fun Botanica rug by <a target="_blank" title="Missoni Home" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/missoni-home">Missoni Home</a>, available in three colourways.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7526" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/magnolia-floral-scented-candle" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-7526" title="magnolia-floral-scented-candle" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/magnolia-floral-scented-candle.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Magnolia Scented Candle by Designers Guild</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;"> <em>‘From catwalk to couch, <a target="_blank" title="cushions" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings/cushions">cushions</a> and candles, it’s va-va bloom time!’</em> They also feature the Magnolia scented candle by <a target="_blank" title="Designers Guild" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/designers-guild">Designers Guild</a>, which looks as beautiful as it smells. It’s presented in a prettily decorated glass holder featuring a pink floral design with exquisite matching packaging, making it an ideal gift or simply the ultimate in self indulgence.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7528" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/please-smell-us-flower-vase" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-7528" title="please-smell-us-flower-vase" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/please-smell-us-flower-vase.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&#39;Please Smell us&#39; Flower Vase by Rob Ryan</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;"> Don’t forget to choose a glorious vase to display you chosen fresh flowers to add the perfect finishing touch to any room. We love this whimsical style vase from Rob Ryan, it features a beautiful design and the words ‘Please Smell Us’, in blue shades on a white background. It will enhance any arrangement of flowers and will add a touch of character and charm to any home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We always get excited when a new brand comes to <a target="_blank" title="Amara" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk">Amara</a>, especially when we get to share one as unique as Bluebellgray. An exciting Scottish textile design company, Bluebellgray is the creation of Fi Douglas, a graduate of the prestigious Glasgow School of Art. She set up the company in 2009 with the idea to create fresh, modern floral designs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/bluebellgray" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7434" title="_MG_1197" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MG_1197.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Influenced by a love of colour and all things floral, each design is painted by hand in the Bluebellgray studio before being printed onto natural cottons and linens using state of the art printing technology. Every brushstroke and colour is captured by the printing methods Bluebellgray use, ensuring the authentic feel of a hand painted design. Adorning <a target="_blank" title="cushions" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings/cushions">cushions</a>, make-up bags and iPhone cases, you can take the beautifully unique designs with you wherever you go.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/bluebellgray" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7435" title="_MG_1210" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MG_1210.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Bluebellgray was shortlisted for an Elle Decoration Design award at the end of 2010. The design philosophy behind the brand adheres to the ‘eclectic mix’ school of thought, encouraging the designs to sit beside flea market finds and family heirlooms.</p>
<p>As Fi Douglas says <em><strong>‘it’s ok when things don’t match, if you love it- go with it!’</strong></em> Bluebellgray designs are aimed at people looking for something unique and individual for their home, an antidote to mass production.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We love the new range of cushion covers from Day Birger Et Mikkelsen’s Spring Collection. In a choice of Un Black – an off black grey/khaki shade or Chateau a light sand tone, there are lots of different designs all featuring a quirky statement, perfect to add some fun to a sofa or bed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/smile-it-s-a-short-distance-un-black-cushion-cover" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7326" title="1smile-it-s-a-short-distance-cushion-" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/1smile-it-s-a-short-distance-cushion-.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The designs are printed in stencil effect lettering, giving the signature Day Home urban edge to each cushion cover.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/another-beautiful-day-cushion-cover-chateau-40x60cm" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="another-beautiful-day-cushion-cover-" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/another-beautiful-day-cushion-cover-.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> With pearlescent closures on the reverse, the 100% cotton covers are simple to remove and are machine washable at 30 degrees.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/mi-casa-e-su-casa-cushion-cover-un-black-40x40cm" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="mi-casa-e-su-casa-cushion-cover-un-b" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mi-casa-e-su-casa-cushion-cover-un-b.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>In sizes of square 40x40cm and rectangular 40x60cm, mix and match the different colours, sizes and statements to create your own personal style.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/love-it-s-a-classic-chataeu-cushion-cover-40x60cm" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="love-it-s-a-classic-cushion-cover-ch" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/love-it-s-a-classic-cushion-cover-ch.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Layer these cushion covers with more <a target="_blank" title="soft furnishings" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings">soft furnishings</a> and <a target="_blank" title="home accessories" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/home-accessories">home accessories</a> from Day Home, they look great with the distressed and worn style of the latest collection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/drama-queen-cushion-cover-un-black-40x40cm" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="drama-queen-cushion-cover-un-black" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/drama-queen-cushion-cover-un-black.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>The Day Home collections are characterised by inviting, natural and Scandinavian designs with a hint of international bohemia and these latest <a target="_blank" title="cushions" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings/cushions">cushions</a> are a great example of this unique signature style.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/products/rock-on-cushion-cover-chateau-40x60cm" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" title="rock-on-cushion-cover-chateau" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/rock-on-cushion-cover-chateau.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Our favourite has to be the ‘Rock On’ design, what better statement to meet you on the sofa or in your bed! Which one is your favourite?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Luxurious and decadent is the only way to describe the stunning collection of <a target="_blank" title="home accessories" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/home-accessories">home accessories</a> from L’Objet. The vision of Elad Yifrach, quality is his mantra and every offering is his original design. We have an array of the unashamedly opulent designs <a target="_blank" title="for you" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/for-you">for you</a> to enjoy including photo frames, barware, table accessories, candlesticks and more.</p>
<p>Quality is perfection, and L’Objet starts with only the best material, from 24kt gold to Swarovski crystals, and they have only the best artisans creating the designs, consummate masters of their craft.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7363" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 570px"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/l-objet"><img class="size-full wp-image-7363" title="l'objet-550" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/lobjet-550.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Salt &amp; Pepper Shakers and Napkin Rings by L&#39;Objet</p></div>
<p>Prior to founding L’Objet in 2004, Elad enjoyed a successful career as an interior designer based in Beverly Hills. Inspired by natural beauty and the elegant architecture of the world’s great civilisations, he saw clearly from the beginning what he wanted, but quickly came to realise that no one in the world yet made anything like it. So he set himself the task and after many months of inspired exploration he flew to New York and presented his prototype to Bergdorf Goodman, who immediately placed an order.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_7364" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 570px"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/l-objet/home-accessories/photo-frames"><img class="size-full wp-image-7364" title="l'objet-582" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/lobjet-582.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo Frames by L&#39;Objet</p></div>
<p>And so L’Objet was created, and now he wants nothing more than for people to enjoy his beautiful objects as much as he enjoys designing &amp; creating them.</p>
<p>Despite a timeless quality that resonates with Old World charm, the L’Objet collections are something entirely new – graceful, detailed and rich in history, but thoroughly modern.</p>
