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 now we are in 2012 and AKKA furniture would like to wish a very happy new year to all!
At this time of year, most of us are desperately trying to keep their new year resolutions, be it cutting out unhealthy elements in our life or doing more good things, like increasing our exercise regime. One very healthy resolution that often gets overlooked is ensuring that you get a good night’s sleep which has a massively beneficial impact on well being. (more…)

Lazy mornings are what Christmas holidays are made for aren’t they? Who wants to get up and out of bed at 7.00 am when is still feels as if it’s the middle of the night? If you’re like me, a lazy lie-in until 8.30 am followed by a cup of fresh coffee is just what is needed on these cold winter mornings. Breakfast can be slightly extravagant in the holidays, where time is not necessarily so short. Eggs benedict can be a real treat, soft squidgy lightly toasted muffins, topped with really crisp bacon and a perfectly poached egg. (more…)

Trees are so beautiful at this time of year, especially those whose leaves have turned beautiful burnished shades of orange and red like the flags of Autumn. Many trees are at their peak of fruit bearing now and hopefully owners of apple and plum trees will have had enough to make an array of crumbles, pies and compotes. Nuts are also abundant at the moment. Chestnuts are tumbling from trees in their prickly cases, waiting to be toasted on the fire! If you are lucky enough to find a productive walnut tree there is nothing like enjoying wet walnuts, freshly picked and distinctively different to the walnuts enjoyed at Christmas. (more…)

While the sun might be dimming, over the last couple of nights the sky has been lit by the beautiful Harvest moon. This is the full moon, which falls nearest to the autumn equinox and this year that occurs on September 23rd. While it is a stunning sight to see, there are many myths surrounding a full moon. It is said that to stare at it will send you insane, hence the word lunatic. Plenty of people claim a full moon interrupts with their sleep. That may be the case, but lets face it, it’s mostly that they don’t have a very comfortable bed. (more…)

We do live in a disposable society, where things are bought, used and discarded but at AKKA we believe in bedrooms that last a lifetime.
At AKKA, we only use quality wood. American Oak is traditional, with a beautiful grain and comes from a sustainable source. Oak definitely delivers a warmth and classical feel to a bedroom, whilst ageing beautifully over time.
Our black walnut bedroom ranges are distinct and luxurious, bringing a stylish contemporary feel.

Whether you have been abroad or at home for your holidays, if you have stayed in hotel bedroom, B & B, or even slept in a tent, you will know that your sleeping arrangements can make or break a holiday. A creaky bed, a mattress that is too soft or too hard, a fusty or draughty room can ruin a good nights sleep. Some holiday bedrooms though can be inspirational. In France, a Louis XV bed, made from ornate carved walnut brings a regal air to a bedroom. In Scandinavia the clean simple lines create a calming, cool atmosphere. In Italy, style matches substance and delivers La Dolce Vita. (more…)

Schools out for Summer.. . although the weather has definitely cooled off! It’s not easy to entertain the children for six long weeks without spending a fortune but there are some free ways of getting them out and exhausting them without exhausting your budget.
- If you haven’t got a dog of your own, borrow one. Much easier to get reluctant ramblers out into the fresh air if they have a loveable pooch to lead the way.
- A quick search on the Internet can show you how to make a kite so just wait for the next windy day and watch it fly.
- Round up the neighbourhood kids and organise a mini Olympics. Chocolate money makes for great gold medals.

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.
