Timeless Touches: Styling Your Home with Heritage Charm – VE Day at 80

As we honour the 80th anniversary of VE Day this May, it's the perfect time to bring touches of heritage into our homes. Reflecting on resilience, family and the quiet strength of tradition, this month we're celebrating with vintage-inspired styling ideas that offer warmth, character and meaningful charm.

Vintage Wooden Storage Bench

This classic piece brings a sense of nostalgic charm into the hallway, porch or even at the end of the bed. It’s practical, sturdy and timeless – just like the era it reflects.

Mustard Cotton Velvet Curved Bench

Mustard hues were staples in 1940s interiors. This elegant bench modernises the tone while still evoking post-war optimism and joy through colour.

Rustic Ceramic Snack Dish

Host a simple VE Day tea at home. This ceramic dish is perfect for sandwiches, scones or biscuits served with love and tradition.

Granary Butterfly Dining Table

Family tables were a cornerstone of life during and after the war. This extendable table welcomes conversation, connection, and shared meals with style.

Drawer Storage Bench

Combining beauty with storage, this piece is ideal for boots, hats or even Union Jack cushions. Style it with vintage prints for a classic hallway look.

Layer up your space with vintage-style books, poppies in jars, and candlelight to set a warm, thoughtful mood that honours the past while embracing the now.

Shop the look, support a great cause, and bring timeless heritage charm into your home.
