Maison du Monde - First Flat collection

As a wannabe homeowner money saving is my general aim - easier said that done while working in interiors and drooling over every beautiful item that the likes of Elle Decoration and Living etc present on each glorious page! When an affordable yet brilliant collection comes along, I certainly take notice, which is what makes the Maison du Monde First Flat collection such a gem. Completely hitting the nail on the head, the collection compiles an easy-to-style pic'n'mix of the essentials needed to make your first house/flat/shed a home. Particularly relevant for me at the moment are the home office items - here's what I'd pick...

1. Paterson blue clock - £49
2. Paterson lamp in grey - £39
3. Industrial dresser in red CRANBERRY - £129
4. Desk EDISON - £199
5. Industrial stool in vintage blue JIM - £39
6. Black column bookcase OSAKA - £79

Total spend = £534

All available from Maison Du Monde.

Whether you already have an industrial-looking home, with beautiful exposed brickwork, worn wooden floorboards and huge, heavy doors or you have a modern home that you want to add a bit of personal character and charm to, the essence of factory-chic living is recycle, reuse, re-think - the whole appeal stems from the ability to create fantastic items on a shoe-string budget. 

You can of course find an abundance of items on the high street at the moment, with the likes of Next and Made.com offering fantastic furniture to help create the look but why not give it a go yourself - think of the satisfaction from creating something simple yet stunning such as the photo frame above...easy!
