Things that I love apart from men's clothing and accessories is definitely the home decor. In London, the best place to check out the best home furniture and accessories is at Tottenham Court Road (apart from Ikea, which is actually quite far from central). On both sides of the street there're awashed with stores like Bo Concept, Habitat, Heals, Next Home, Dwell, Harveys, etc... etc. From modern contemporary to slightly traditional, they're all there to devour your temptations.
I love seeing their window display coz sometimes I can get great idea on how to change the whole outlook of a room. And what better to go and check it out if not at nightime, especially when the lights are still switched on after the store closing. It is when the decor really comes to life.
I love Habitat for their modern take on furniture. It's not much more different compared to Ikea though since both companies are under the Ikano 'umbrella'. But the price tag at Habitat is much higher than Ikea, given the furniture is not as easily DIY-ed as the latter. Yet, one great news to be welcomed is that they're now offering a 10% discount for student with a valid NUS Card. So, it's time to deck our rooms with Habitat's then for their delicious arrays of home accessories!
Some of the pix I took while strolling around the street...
