Loaf launches a whole lot of brand new loveliness for autumn
Rather than feel sad at the prospect of summer fading, we're rejoicing in the expectation of a new season, because that means new season furniture launches
It has to be said Loaf are one of our favourites here at Ideal Home. They just always seem to get it right. The furniture collections are unstoppable, with the season ahead giving us delightful new designs and bold new colour updates to existing pieces – keeping things interesting.
Charlie Marshall, Founder of Loaf tells us, 'For AW17 we’ve introduced over 50 brand-spanking new pieces. This includes two new French bed designs, the Mirabelle and the Flumble as well as updates on some of our most popular sofa designs. The Pudding sofa is now available as a sofa bed, the Dixie a corner sofa and the Soufflé (below) is now customisable as a modular design.'
Each module of this Soufflé design can be upholstered in a different fabric and colour, with over 140 fabrics to choose from the possibilities are endless! You can create a bespoke design to suit your personal taste - maybe every family member gets a seat in their favourite colour? Ok that might be a step too far but it's nice to have that choice all the same.

One of the stand out pieces has to be this totally dreamy chaise in a chalky pink velvet. You don't see as many stand alone chaise designs these days, it feels like they were replaced by the modern day corner sofa. We think this stunning design could be responsible for a surge in popularity of the humble chaise.

Who could resist this new irresistibly squidgy bean bag? 'We wanted a really nice knitted woollen bean bag so thought we’d introduce our own. This new addition is perfect for sitting back, taking five and living life in the slow lane.' Charlie says of the new design. Ideal for children's bedrooms or playrooms.

The wooden furniture pieces have gone to the dark side, and oh my doesn't it suit them! 'We’ve also introduced an inky blue hue to kitchen sideboards, cupboards and also the interior of bookshelves and cabinets,' says Charlie, 'We think it gives it added character without being too out there'
The trend for navy painted furniture is going from strength to strength, it started with kitchen cupboard fronts that were beautifully complimented by brass handles and accessories. Following that lead is this new inky blue sideboard, that would be perfectly at home in any modern country kitchen...
The new inky blue shade is offset with a beautifully crafted wooden top, made of solid reclaimed timber recovered from old buildings. We love the removable apple crates for storage, adding a truly rustic touch to the overall feel.

What's really lovely is the hand-painted, distressed finish that makes it feel more like a vintage Parisian find! This versatile piece would be just as at home used in a dining room housing crockery as it would in spacious bathroom displaying towels and toiletries.
