2016 is set to be a year to remember in terms of design. So far we've seen a variety of eclectic trends, from 70s furs to contemporary monochrome. But fashion doesn't have to be kept for our clothing - bring a bit of the catwalk to your bedroom with these tips for picking out the perfect designer bedroom furniture.

Someone asked me "Why are you going to the world's largest property show in Cannes next week?" My answer was simple "please tell me why I shouldn't be going? I am in the business of selling designer furniture and I go where the opportunities are." We also have a digital magazine and have to bring the latest news and trends in this space such as the development of properties across the globe. This can be hotels, villas, high end residential complexes. This same person said "oh I didn't know you did procurement." I said " Well our online site looks very interesting to many developers, interior designers and architects since it shows such a large range of products and our unique style. Of course we do procurement." With that statement, Safeer and I hit the MIPIM show with gusto and a mission to conquer as many opportunities as possible.

The right lighting can make all the difference to any room in your home, especially the kitchen, where you might need extra brightness when preparing and cooking food. Introducing contemporary lighting is a great way to add a touch of style to your kitchen while ensuring you have adequate brightness for fiddly tasks. Contemporary designer lighting options can instantly update the look and feel of your kitchen.

You can use designer lighting to enhance the outside of your home and garden, make your property stand out and offer a safe and welcoming approach to your visitors. Whether you want a period look or something more contemporary, there's a suitable option.

Furniture can transform a house into a home, and your home should be your haven. Create a space you love to live in by introducing modern furniture throughout. Modern furniture design is becoming more popular than ever and is characterised by clean lines, minimalist shades and the lack of clutter.
