It's that time of year again! The confetti has settled, the champagne flutes are empty, and we're all looking ahead to a fresh start. And what better way to embrace the new year than with a home refresh? 

Out with the old, in with the new, they say! If your living space is feeling a little stale, maybe it's time to give it a makeover. Let’s make a start by looking at one of the hottest trends of 2025 – sustainability. Eco-consciousness is no longer a niche trend; it's a lifestyle and in 2025, expect to see a surge in furniture crafted from sustainable materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, and recycled plastics. This year, it's all about minimising our environmental footprint while maximising style. Let's take a look at our most impactful, pioneering manufacturers in terms of sustainability:
