What we have learnt working from home
Styling, planning and more! It’s been a good four months since a lot of us have settled into the ‘new normal’ of working from home and it has definitely taken a lot of getting used to. So what have we learnt throughout this time? Home is where the heart is A home office is one you want to feel comfortable and inspired in.

All About Sofas
Choosing the right sofa can be a daunting task, and there’s a lot of pressure to choose the right one. Sofas are usually the focal point of the living room and an investment piece, which can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Luckily for you, we have a wide range of sofas to help you make the right choice. The best advice is to pick the sofa that speaks to you and brings you the most joy! It’s easy to build a room around a central piece of furniture by adding fun decor and cushions, so it’s important to assess the quality of your sofa. That being said, a long-lasting sofa gives you freedom to buy new decor and switch up your cushions, because you won’t have to worry about buying a new couch every few years.

Contemporary Lighting to Brighten your Home
Lighting is essential to creating the perfect space! More often than not, a combination of the three forms of lighting can be forgotten in the overall design of a space. These types of lighting include: general, task and accents. General lighting is the most used form to provide even, overall light to a room. However, without the mix of task and accent lighting, a space can lack ambience and affect the experience of the user. At J&M Home we believe that the right lighting makes all the difference. Including task and accent lighting can exponentially improve how you feel and subsequently interact in your space. With our new range of lighting, we allow you to add dimension and fun layers, while improving your experience and developing your space into a unique representation of you and your style. Our contemporary range of diverse pieces allow you to create a warm and…
