Let's talk bench


Benches are not just for hallways! There are so many ways to put them to fabulous use &
 to make a cool statement with.
Here are some inspirational ideas on this ever-so-versatile furniture piece.

dining2 how to tips advice
The bench and chair combo makes an eclectic statment in this out-there dining room. Surely fun conversations to be had here!

Whether you have a "this old house" or not, the warm mix of antique and rustic pieces create a charming, let's-have-another-cup-of-tea ambiance.
When you have opted out of a footboard, placing a bench at the end of the bed gives you a finished look. It's also a perfect spot for putting extra pillows onto and for getting prettied up for the day.
Love this idea of combining floating shelves and a bench instead of a typical and expected bookshelf on this wall. The bench becomes multi-functional and puts the cool factor into this vignette. 
Benches make great coffee tables. They are especially ideal in small spaces, and can become extra seating during party-time.

Not a a typical office space for sure!
Love the the combination of the rustic woods with sleek metals and modern chairs.
Every hallway needs a bench. Why should we have to tip over, hop on one foot, etc while we are putting our shoes on, when we could sit on a bench and gracefully get dressed?

If you have a sunroom or pool house, consider this rustic idea instead of wicker furniture.

The new Phase collection by West Brothers

Designer Blake C. Tovin:
"I designed the Phase collection to reflect the strong horizontal lines and bold planes found in classic modernist architecture. This sense of structure is balanced by the warmth of solid walnut which resonates an elegant character associated with traditional handcrafted furniture. West Bros brings these elements together in my new bedroom collection."

Are you Lampe Berger fan? If you don't have one, you should!


How it works:
Lampe Berger purifies and perfumes indoor air like no other system. Perfected over the years, it actually destroys the molecules responsible for undesirable smells and removes 68% of airborne bacteria. This is a perfect solution for anyone wanting to live in a purified atmosphere while at the same time enjoying the diffusion of pleasant fragrances.

A little bit of history:

The original catalytic fragrance diffuser was created in France in 1898 by Maurice Berger a pharmacy dispenser, to purify the air in hospitals. By the 1930's the lamps had evolved into beautiful objects and were appreciated by artists like Picasso and Jean Cocteau. Today, a full line of  unique lamps are available to enhance any decor.


The Perfumes:

The perfumes are inspired by nature, travel destinations and desired scents like Creme Brulee, Lavender Fields, Ocean Breeze, Paris Chic, etc. The list of available scents is endless and the selection of oils is updated with frequent new introductions. Try our in-store testers to see what makes you feel good & happy.

The bottles:

The selection of our perfume bottles is quite unbelievable. They range from jewel tones to neutrals, to black & whites and metallic finishes. Deciding on your next bottle is like selecting the jewellry for your outfit. Whatever your style, we've got it!
