Hope, Health and Happiness!

A new year is a fresh start and this year we are all hoping for good health and happiness. Your home plays an important part in your mental health, so this is a very good time to sort through, rearrange and inject some colour into a long month that is traditionally seen as blue and cold. Atkin & Thyme are thrilled to say “Welcome to 2021!”

Ever aware of the demand for practicality and elegance, Atkin and Thyme are smitten with the retro style of the Cooper Hall Stand; mango wood and black iron echoes school days gone by and will provide a real talking point for visitors. We know that plenty of space for hats, coats and bags is essential, but what about shoes? There is a specious shelf for baskets and little people will find it quicker and easier to put on their shoes by using the top shelf as a hand bench upon which to sit. Industrial chic at its very finest!

The Harvey shelving unit is a splash of open storage heaven. With plenty of space for crockery, ornaments, or books this beautiful whitewashed mango and antique brass plated iron unit will look just as at home in the kitchen as in the hall or living room. It is also available in black stained mango wood with a pale grey iron plated frame- there really is something for everyone, so get sorting and give your mind space to breathe at the end of a long day.

Pigeons are not the ideal house companion, unless it be our  Pigeonhole mirror. This statement piece is both organisational nirvana and practical perfection. The ultimate space-saver with its large mirrored surface surrounded by individual mango wood pigeon holes with delicate brass inlay, this beautiful mirror would be at home in any interior design scheme. Place it in the hall for keys, post, clothes brushes and last minute additions to your bag or in the bathroom  as the ultimate storage accessory.

Traditionally, hexes are bad and to be avoided at all costs. But the triple Hex mirror is not going to be something you want to miss. The luxurious antique brass finish looks great in the hallway, bedroom or bathroom with its row of three striking hexagonal shapes. Perfect for making a dark, narrow hallway feel larger and lighter or saving wall space in a compact ensuite or cloakroom, it provides an eye-catching twist on the traditional wall mirror design. Team with any of our brass plated furniture collections for a similar luxe look through your home. Ever practical, we have ensured this stunning mirror can  be hung vertically or horizontally. The careful placement of mirrors can throw light into gloomy corners and help to make a space feel enlarged; definitely a positive feeling!

January is not known for warmth or light, so it falls to each of us to bring that light into the home. Light is crucial in lifting a room’s mood and helping those within it to feel more positive. We have talked recently about corner lamps and the cosy feeling they can bring to a room, but Atkin & Thyme have a range of truly stunning ceiling lights that are guaranteed to bring joy to your home, regardless of the weather. The Pasadena Pendant light(available in Mink, Blush and Sage) is the perfect example of elegant industrial chic, providing a pop of colour and focused lighting in a heavy duty yet subtle style.

For a touch of pared back Scandi style, the Wicker Pendant light is perfect. Its long, teardrop shape diffuses the light, casting a soft warm glow in any room. Perfect for bedrooms, living spaces, landings and hallways, it certainly packs a punch the moment you enter the room. It also works beautifully in a large open-plan kitchen-living-dining space to help create a relaxed, ‘zoned’ area complete with sofa and TV. This beautiful addition to your home brings with it a sense of spring warmth to keep you feeling positive.
