Consider everything, purpose, form, functionality and of course, sometimes you just love it! Also, remember that some of the best pieces you can source are already within your possession; they just need to be reimagined, and of course, when you are considering finding a truly unique and timeless piece – come visit us!

We often see you hanging rugs on the walls of your showroom, for those who’d like to incorporate this look into their own home are there any dos and dont’s?

We recently started working with a sustainable Scandinavian rug brand Cappelen Dimyr who create incredible artful rugs that are intended to be hung on the wall as art. We see our entire collection of rugs as functional art, so if you choose to hang a rug on a wall, I’d say go for it! Ideally, your home should be a comfortable space that makes you happy.

We recently launched our first furniture collection The Organic Table Collection, a series that is all made to order locally. We have been blown away by the positive response!

With an increased amount of people working from their residential addresses, what are your tips to curating an inspiration home office environment?

Lighting is an easy way to add mood and a sculptural or interesting vintage piece will add depth and character.

Create some new energy in the space by moving objects around, especially if the object is yourself! Don’t forget how restorative the outdoors are, even if it’s getting out for a quick walk.

We are constantly inspired by the natural world, finding our greatest inspirations in the beauty of nature. Art and architecture is another huge draw of inspiration along with travel, after all, it was a trip to Morocco that inspired us to create Tigmi Trading.
