Give your home a revitalising refresh with this Amalfi Coast-inspired look by Furniture Village
The Lemon Grove look from Furniture Village's Spring Summer 2024 range offers an Italian-inspired twist on the English country home
With spring on the horizon and lighter, warmer days ahead, many of us will be ready for a little change in our everyday lives, from what we wear to how we eat. Our homes, too, may feel in need of a tweak to keep in step with the incoming season.
Whether you’re looking for a new statement piece of furniture to set a new tone, or want to shake things up with a few fresh accessories, Furniture Village has everything you need under one roof.
Furniture Village’s The Lemon Grove look, from its Spring Summer 2024 range, is the ideal collection to transition between seasons, thanks to its blend of cosy countryside and breezy, Mediterranean coastline.
It’s a unique take on the ‘cottage core’ trend that’s populated our Instagram feeds and Pinterest boards over the last few years, updating traditional rustic-style pieces with a refreshing twist inspired by the lemon tree-filled slopes of the Amalfi Coast. Think zesty tones of ochre and mustard, bold seaside stripes and splashes of verdant green teamed with whitewashed furniture and natural timbers.
The look revolves around several hero pieces from Furniture Village’s own-brand collection which can be styled in multiple ways.
There’s the timeless Hamilton collection, for example, with its American oak and whitewashed finish and modern-country style. Smaller, but no less hard-working, are the Nordic Oak coffee table and lamp table. With streamlined simplicity and natural timber tones, they fit seamlessly into any style home.
Alongside ranges such as this, which are created by the in-house design team, Furniture Village is also home to a host of esteemed brands including Ercol, Calligaris, and The Lounge Co. The latter’s Romilly sofa is key to the Lemon Grove look – its silhouette strikes an artful balance between the classic and the contemporary, giving it versatility and enduring appeal. As well as the welcoming Golden Spice colour way, it also comes in an array of sumptuous shades and fabric options, allowing you to put your own spin on the piece.
The beauty of this laid-back look is that it’s easy to recreate in your own way. Furniture Village is renowned for large investment pieces such as those mentioned above, but it’s also a go-to for beautiful, on-trend accessories that will help you add a final flourish to your space.
The Lemon Grove look is a masterclass in accessorising. Get the look by mixing tactile textures and finishes for a richly layered and lived-in feel, such as the woven Ives rug, the statuesque turned wood Delaney Urn table lamp, wicker storage and painterly, glazed ceramics. Finish with a scatter of pretty flora and fauna-printed cushions – pick a mix of varying scales, motifs and tones within the same palette to achieve a similarly whimsical look.
As a one-stop style shop, Furniture Village gives you an unparalleled choice of brands and products, so whether you shop directly from The Lemon Grove collection, or mix and match with pieces from other ranges, you’re sure to create a home that’s as unique as you are.
