love ajb interiors ♥

Show your home some love this valentine's day with these simple ideas.

We love these woven hearts. They look lovely displayed together in sets, freestanding on a shelf or windowsill or hung with ribbon on a wall or door. After all, home is where the rustic willow heart is.

Dimensions: available in a range of sizes

The cut outs in our standing heart tealight holder provide a pretty glow making it a wonderful way to illuminate an intimate table for two or for adding just the right mood lighting when you're feeling romantic.

Dimensions: 30cm x 28cm

As the song says 'Wherever You Lay Your Hat, That's Your Home' and these heart hooks provide the ideal place to do just that. If you don't have a hat why not try a coat, a dressing gown or even a towel or two?

Dimensions: we sell these heart hooks as double and single hooks

We love making these charming, simplistic little birds. Made simply from solid oak and a touch of gingham ribbon these birds make a lovely gift, especially with a personal message from you handwritten on the back.

One bird on it's own looks lovely looped over a doorhandle or hung in a window for all to see. They are great as a stocking filler or as Christmas decorations.

We smooth the rounded edges and leave the wood unpainted because oak, just like these chirpy chaps, is full of character!

Finding the right shelving unit

As with most items of furniture, you need to make sure that a shelving unit will fit the space you have in mind, so the first thing to do is

measure up!

Whatever you want to use your shelving for, from vases through to books, you should be able to find the shelving unit for you without too much trouble. Find one that will allow you to take a flexible approach to displaying your items - this is your chance to really show off your taste and style.

Once you've chosen your shelving unit the things you would prefer to hide away can be moved to drawers and cupboards and all your favourite things can take pride of place.

Why oak?

One of the main benefits of choosing oak furniture is its ability to last. Oak is a hardwood with a tight grain which means its durable and can take almost anything your daily family life can throw at it!

Oak furniture is often considered to be expensive but its enduring quality and sturdiness will stand the test of time. You shouldn't have to replace well made oak furniture unless you want to redecorate your rooms with new items. Owning a few solid oak pieces is an investment that can last a lifetime.

Oak is also a versatile wood and furniture can be simple or elaborate in design making it ideal for all types of furniture from chairs and tables to beds and wardrobes.

The attractive appearance of the wood is down to the grain, which has a subtle variegation, and to its distinctive light golden colour.

Keeping your oak furniture looking good is simple too and you will find oak is one of the easiest types of furniture to care for. Just wipe your oak furniture without using spray or cleaning products and give it a light coat of Danish oil when you feel the wood needs it.

With a small amount of care oak furniture will reward you with a lifetime of use.

Large driftwood mirror

Driftwood creates a dramatic effect and each unique piece of driftwood ensures each hand made piece is individual. Wonderfully aged and weather worn, driftwood hints at long journeys spent at sea.

Our driftwood mirrors are handmade using a strong wood base and selected pieces of Scottish driftwood.
