			<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>We are delighted to welcome Bronte to <a target="_blank" title="Amara" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk">Amara</a> and their fabulous collection of exquisite throws and <a target="_blank" title="cushions" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings/cushions">cushions</a>. Bronte has a proud heritage of British design, British manufacture and British quality since 1837. Operating from one of the longest established mills in Britain, Bronte’s fine wools have been manufactured in Guiseley, Leeds since 1837.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/bronte" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7146" title="IMG_0017" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0017.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Priding themselves on a mix between modern design and traditional crafts, Bronte always keep one eye on their fine heritage and the other on contemporary &amp; emerging trends. From initial design to final dispatch, they control the whole manufacturing process. This makes them a vertical mill, one of very few left in Britain today, and it means that they don’t rely on anyone else for their production.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/bronte" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7147" title="IMG_0033" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_0033.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Using a variety of the finest wool available from Merino lambswool to Alpaca wool sourced from the highest plains of the Peruvian Andes, Bronte ensure only the finest material is used in their luxury <a target="_blank" title="soft furnishings" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings">soft furnishings</a>. Not only is wool a soft and stylish material but it is also sustainable; every year a sheep produces a new fleece making wool a fabulous natural, renewable fibre source.</p>
<p>Head to Amara today to view a wide selection of beautifully soft &amp; stylish soft furnishings from Bronte.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The new collection by Day Birger Et Mikkelsen is here and features their iconic bohemian chic style. With various <a target="_blank" title="cushions" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/soft-furnishings/cushions">cushions</a> covers, throws, candlesticks, doorstops and more there is something for everyone in the fabulous spring collection.</p>
<p>Marianne Brandi is the head of design and creative spirit behind the Day Birger Et Mikkelsen interior and lifestyle collection Day Home. This  new collection is inspired by the decay of the season, the way fabrics and material change over time. She says;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em><strong>“I like that you can see that life puts its mark on it, showing the use from generation to generation, through decades.”</strong></em></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amara.co.uk/shop/brand/day-birger-and-mikkelsen" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7086" title="_MG_4193" src="http://www.amara.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/MG_4193.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Marianne also believes that silver is something you treasure, a material that can be maintained be polishing or the slow decay can be enjoyed – simply by letting it breathe. The colours featured in the latest collection are inspired by nature: fields of wheat in the late summer months, grapes being picked in the wine yards, the colour of the soil shortly after a gentle afternoon rain, the early morning sky, and the colour of the Ocean when the sun goes down.</p>
<p>To view more of the fabulous new Day Home collection head to <a target="_blank" title="Amara" href=" http://www.amara.co.uk">Amara</a> today.</p>
<p>What do you think about the inspiration ‘decay of the season’?</p>
