Like fashion, furniture style seems to go round in cycles. I remember finding some of the old 70’s stuff really out of date and ridiculous looking when I was a teenager, but now I find myself scrolling through websites like Lionshome or even eBay, searching for retro pieces because, not only has it got that look I love, but my tastes have changed and I’ve fallen out of love with the matchy matchy that I used to covet.
