A modern take on traditional wares

So the quest continues for fabulous new room finds and in celebration of their online launch, House of Hackney opened a pop up shop at the beginning of March with a Lilli Vanilli exclusive tea room, so I went along to be inspried. After tea, cake & a reading from a 'doctor' who reads your palm and then types you up what you need to action on his cranky typewriter (sort of confession without the three hail Marys), you are shown round the showroom aka the upstairs rooms of the house which have been transformed into three looks:
Dalston Rose - inspired by the traditional English rose, this collection transforms this idea into a lavishly comfortable setting, making you want to curl up on the bed or sink into the quilted chairs.




Hackney Empire - A racous array of colour & characters stewn over the walls and furniture and my personal favourite





Queen Bee - The 'Mother of the whole collection', she is the contradiction of clean and untidy/ diva and tramp/ extravagant yet reserved. Awash with gold and sky blue, its bound to get you feeling luxurious with the different textures & trims adorning each item.


















Everything you see, you can own. From the crimson velvet chaise long & hookah smoking sloths printed wallpaper to the custom made four poster bed.
This is definately indulgent, but definately worth it!
