The end of January is renowned for being the most miserable time of the year with the grey clouds and the endless wait for spring. But you don’t have to jet off to sunnier climes to find happiness. Look around and you find lots to make you smile.
Take a look in the flowerbeds to see some pretty little snowdrops nodding their heads.
Learn something new; take a course in pottery or learning a language boosting your brainpower will raise your spirits.
Act happy by faking it until you really feel it. Smiling is contagious and if you walk around with a big grin it won’t be long before the beams are coming back at you. (more…)

So the clocks have turned back and we now have one more hour to enjoy in bed. The downside to this is, of course, waking in the dark and the early evenings drawing in. If winter days seem short in Britain then spare a thought for those who live further North. In midwinter around the Arctic Circle, instead of daylight the dark sky is illuminated by the northern lights. The Scandinavians create warmth and light in their homes to compensate for the Artic winters. Scandinavian décor has become very popular lately. Here are some ways to bring a Scandinavian feel to a home, and brighten up these dark months. (more…)

What a joy it was to have a late burst of sunshine at the beginning of October. It was great to wear summer clothes and feel the sun on our faces. The fiercely hot autumn weather peaked in a new record temperature of 29.4C (that’s 84.92F in old money), on 2 October. This was the hottest temperature recorded in October for 100 years. Now though the sun has definitely dimmed and there is an autumnal air around, with the leaves falling in crisp blue skies. (more…)

Summer is definitely here. The sun has been blazing down and reached scorching temperatures. While summer days may be a dream, the long hot nights can be something of a nightmare when it’s just too warm to sleep.
The ideal bedroom temperature is around 65 degrees Fahrenheit. A room that’s too warm can disrupt comfortable sleep.
Here are some that might help you achieve a good nights kip during the balmy nights: (more…)

No nothing can beat the natural warmth , texture , colouring and feel of solid american white oak or american black walnut. That’s why when i designed and created our Milan and Toulouse bedroom furniture ranges it was important to me to not only remain true to the materials we use , but also to ensure that each piece was a tribute to the skill and dedication that our craftsmen have built up over the years.

We spend one third of our lives in our bedrooms ( more than any other room in our homes). That’s why before you do anything , it’s always worth taking the time to decide what it is you want from your particular space and I don’t mean purely in terms of style. Make a list of what’s important to you. For instance , will the room have a dual purpose? Do you have to include a dedicated computer work area? Or do you just want to relax after a long day in the office. (more…)

At AKKA bedroom furniture we take the responsibilty of using ethical timbers very seriously. This means that we only use our american timbers that come with a forestry stewardship council stamp. This will identify that the timber has been sourced from a mill and forest owners that participate in managing it’s forests by re-planting trees after logging has taken place.
