Before I start, I’d like to say that this isn’t a sponsored post (we’re not doing those just yet) I just really, really, really love the Oliver Bonas line of home décor. So there. I’ll be doing a mini series about shops I particularly love, so stay tuned and send me suggestions for any high street, independent or online stores you think deserve a big shout out! Also, all the images in this post belong to Oliver Bonas. Anyway, enough talky, more pretty!

The colour palette

Oh my goodness, Oliver Bonas has it SO right! White wooden backgrounds with pops of neon pastel colours – could it get any more Darling Lovely Life than that?

The revamping of old trends

If you think that suitcases are so last summer, think again! Oliver Bonas has given seemingly tired trends a new lease of life – which is great as I HATE trends and think that good things should be constantly reinvented and here to stay. That’s exactly what Oliver Bonas is doing with these beautiful pastel suitcases and vintage-style pieces with fresh pops of colour.

The lovely little details

Even if bigger pieces are a little out of your price range, it’s the small, gorgeous trinkets and soft furnishings that can really add some life to your room. I also adore the bird theme running through the homewares!

The customer service

Every time I go into Oliver Bonas I have a lovely time. The staff are always polite, helpful and friendly. Last time I went in I ended up in a long chat about blogging, Instagram and styling with one of the lovely girls there. Shopping is all about treating yourself and the experience should be fun – Oliver Bonas definitely gets this right!

The styling

Whoever styles the shops, displays and photoshoots (respectively if it’s more than one stylist) has an incredible creative eye. I mean, just look! The images really do speak for themselves – they’re more than just a selling tool for the products, they’re really inspirational. My hat goes off to you, Oliver Bonas stylist, whoever you are!
