Argos spring / summer 2010 home collection highlights
04 March 2010
Welcome to the new spring / summer 2010 home collection at Argos. Whether you are looking to invest in some fashionable furniture to update a room with contemporary or classic items, Argos, the UK’s No.1 retailer for homewares and furniture, has everything you need to create your perfect home.
Joanna Bolt, head of product development at Argos says, “Not only do we have a thousand new lines in the homeware range, there are also some great brand additions including Hygena and Schreiber. These brands offer fantastic quality and prestige across a wide range of occasional cabinet and bedroom furniture, as well as versatile units for kitchens, all at great value prices.”
The new Hygena range is an exciting development as customers can now purchase kitchen units online at Argos, a first for the retailer. Visit www.argos.co.uk to see the full range. As well as stylish cabinets the collection also features modern living room furniture such as the Matrix Black Glass range, which has a contemporary look with black glass and a chrome finish. Hygena also offers more modern styles including the Arty collection of bedroom and living room furniture, available in both oak and walnut finishes, with a black gloss inset.
The new Schreiber range also incorporates furniture for the bedroom and living room. Several pieces can be delivered fully assembled for your convenience.
The ever popular monochrome trend is brought up to date for spring / summer 2010 by incorporating bright pillar-box red in to the black and white mix. Solid block-colour accessories are new to the collection and can be used to add interest to tired room schemes. Update a bachelor pad with modern accessories such as the Red End Table, £34.99 or for a more feminine touch choose softer items such as the Stacked Table Lamp, £9.99, available in red, black and white.
Floral patterns make an appearance in textiles for the season but focus on large-scale motifs. Update your living space with a statement piece such as the Maddi Chair, £129.99, a gorgeous organically floral design chair, which will create a stylish and contemporary finish. Furniture featuring geometric floral motifs will also bring your look up to date. Contrast a striking chair like the Floral Print Accent Chair, £169.99 with more subtle pieces to perfect the look.
A more traditional floral look can be achieved with the patterned loose sofa cover for the Classic Sofa, £349.99 (sofa and cover). The new Loose Cover Sofas are perfect for those who want to update their home on a regular basis, but don’t have the budget to buy new furniture every time. Choose from a contemporary or classic shaped sofa, available in large and regular, and then update your room for a fraction of the cost by picking one of the seven different cover options - ideal for transforming your living room look with minimal cost. From calming Duck Egg to Hot Pink, you’re sure to find a cover to suit your current style, as well as whatever is on-trend in years to come, perfect for your inner fashionista.
Another great addition to the new home upholstery collection is the extended range of fixed covers for the Lucy range. All the items are now available in 16 fabric options including leather, leather effect and velvet fabric. Prices for the Lucy range start from £249.99 and products include a large and regular sofa, sofa bed and chair.
To complete your room choose from the new extended accessories range at Argos. With a larger range of on-trend lighting, stylish glass vases and a range of mood enhancing candles, adding the finishing touches to a space has never been easier to achieve. Other fashionable items include fun and tasteful prints to add excitement to any wall and even the must-have Dyson fan.
