DATES BURNING DESIRE
Spazzacamino is a bio-fireplace produced by Italian manufacturer MaisonFire. The fire is set apart by its quirky, fun-loving appeal, which the company says will add a touch of “sympathetic madness” to its environment, whatever that entails. Whilst MaisonFire bio-fireplaces cannot
replace traditional home heating methods, they can heat spaces of up to 30-40 sq m. An added advantage is the mobility of Spazzacamino - meaning chimney sweep in Italian - making it ideal for indoor or outdoor use, and the fact that no chimney is required for indoor use as no harmful emissions are produced from the burning of the bio-ethanol.

STICK ‘EM UP
Wall decals are still proving to be a popular way to spruce up those boring walls when complete redecoration is often not an option in this tough economic climate. Particularly as the trend for customisation continues unabated,
more and more people are turning to wall stickers as a way to create bespoke features in their homes. London-based Supernice stocks a variety of wall stickers and graphics to suit any mood.
