A Summer Escape

Winter is in full-swing so we’re escaping the cold (if only for a second) and taking you back to the days when the sun was beaming and the sand was hot! 

The Vic Beach Volleyball Community Series event was a major highlight for the Connect Furniture team.  The event was sponsored by Luxury Escapes and was a huge success, that we were proud to be a part of.

Stools to impress

When friends and family pop in for a casual cuppa, it’s not unlikely that you will end up congregating around the kitchen bench. 

While dining tables are an essential feature of your living area, we often spend a lot more time gathered around the kitchen.

Taking this into consideration, it’s important to furnish your kitchen with appropriate and comfortable bar stools.

We love the stools featured below. If you do too, simply click on the image to make an enquiry through ConnectFurniture.com.au.

Incorporating transparent furniture pieces into your home can be tricky. While it may seem like a daunting exercise, clear furniture can add balance and space to your room. 

A Transparent piece can achieve a sleek, simple and polished look, without being an overly dominant feature.

Clear furniture has the ability to make a room appear larger simply because it takes up less visual space. 

Take a look at some of the transparent products featured on ConnectFurniture.

Water Your Clocks?

The first clocks used were water clocks: Water clocks have been known to exist as far back as 4000 BC in China. They were later used in ancient Babylon, Egypt and Greece. These clocks were designed by using the force of water falls to turn gears and levers, which made a clock move.

Nowadays, a lot of clocks use quartz, a beautiful, transparent stone that sends out electromagnetic impulses every second, enabling us to tell time accurately.

Some of our favourites are:

Big Brother’s Furniture Hits The Spot

Even though you might not like the housemates in Big Brother this year, you can’t fault the furniture. We love the outdoor furniture and the modular lounges in the living room. Even though it might be “so last year” we LOVED the day beds from Big Brother 2012. Check out the images below- everything you see can be found on ConnectFurniture.com.au.

Working It Out!

Tonight we look at a collection of Office Workspaces from around Australia. Creating innovating workspaces is as simple as choosing the right furniture pieces. The key is to look at your space and really plan out what you need. A good way to modernise the work space is with funky colour patterned screens with a white on white desk. You can save money on getting a basic clean desk but then jazz it up with a screen. Another great idea is coloured mobile pedestals or a funky colour mesh back office chair. ConnectFurniture has a massive range of furniture for every budget- trust us you will find anything you need.
