Product Guides & Care

Helpful notes for choosing, setting up, and looking after your pieces.

A little preparation makes home products easier to choose and live with. Use these practical notes alongside the exact product listing and the instructions supplied with your item.

01

Start with the product listing

The product page is the reference for the item you are considering. Read the title, dimensions, material information, included components, and any assembly or care notes before ordering.

  • Compare the full measurements rather than relying on the product image.
  • Check whether the listing describes a single item or a set.
  • Review the stated material and finish.
  • Read any installation or care details shown on the page.
02

Furniture assembly and setup

Prepare the space before opening the parts. A clear floor area, suitable tools, and an organized parts layout can make assembly easier to follow.

  • Read the full instructions before starting.
  • Separate fittings and compare them with the parts list.
  • Assemble on a stable surface with enough working room.
  • Do not force a fitting that does not align with its intended opening.
03

Bookcases and wall anchoring

Some bookcases in the collection list a wall-anchoring option. Use the product instructions to understand the supplied hardware and the wall type required for the installation.

  • Check the anchoring information for the exact model.
  • Use fixings suitable for the wall construction.
  • Keep the unit level and follow the assembly sequence.
  • Do not allow children to climb on shelves or storage furniture.
04

Wood, bamboo, and engineered surfaces

Wood, bamboo, and engineered wood products can have different finishes and care needs. Use the instructions supplied with the exact item rather than applying a strong cleaner or excess moisture.

  • Dust with a soft cloth when appropriate for the finish.
  • Avoid standing water on wood-based surfaces.
  • Use coasters or protective mats where practical.
  • Follow the product guidance for cleaning and maintenance.
05

Metal and glass products

Metal frames and glass surfaces need care suited to their finish and construction. Avoid impacts, abrasive tools, and cleaning methods that are not approved for the item.

  • Check glass panels for damage before installation or use.
  • Use a soft cloth for routine surface cleaning when suitable.
  • Keep connectors and fasteners secure as instructed.
  • Do not use a damaged glass or metal component.
06

Bedding and textile care

Textile products can differ in fiber content, weave, color, and finish. Follow the sewn-in label or product instructions for washing, drying, ironing, and storage.

  • Sort items by the care instructions, not by appearance alone.
  • Check color-care guidance before washing mixed colors.
  • Avoid heat or chemicals not allowed by the label.
  • Make sure textiles are fully dry before storing.
07

Rugs and floor coverings

A rug’s care depends on its fibers and construction. The collection includes a merino wool area rug, so check the specific listing and care guidance before using a cleaning product.

  • Vacuum using a setting suitable for the rug.
  • Blot spills carefully and avoid aggressive rubbing.
  • Test any permitted cleaner in an inconspicuous area.
  • Use a suitable rug pad when the floor and rug require additional grip.
08

Mirrors and wall-mounted pieces

A mirror or wall-mounted item should be installed with hardware appropriate to the wall and the product. The listed mounting details are more important than assumptions based on appearance.

  • Read the mounting instructions before drilling.
  • Check the wall material and the supplied fixing information.
  • Use help when lifting or positioning a large mirror.
  • Do not install a product if the wall or fixing point is unsuitable.
09

Outdoor and garden products

Outdoor products should be assembled and used within the conditions stated for the exact model. Weather exposure, ground surface, and seasonal storage can affect how an item should be maintained.

  • Follow the awning’s installation and operating guidance.
  • Keep raised beds and potting benches on suitable surfaces.
  • Check swing and seating supports before use.
  • Store or protect products according to their instructions.
10

Keep instructions and small parts

Product documents and spare fittings are useful when you move, clean, or reassemble an item. Store them together in a place where they can be found later.

  • Keep assembly instructions with the product record.
  • Store unused fittings in a labeled bag.
  • Take note of the product title when asking for help.
  • Contact us if a part is missing or an instruction is unclear.
