The Personal Touch – For Storage That Suits YOU
After last week’s blog on our wish to be individuals and not have the same stuff as everyone else in our homes, guess what? A Japanese artist, Yuko Shimizu, said pretty much almost exactly the same thing in an interiors feature in The Observer Magazine on Sunday. You can find the feature plus photos here….
Unique Self-Assembly Furniture, With No Hacks Needed…
You can find ‘hacks’, or ways of changing self-assembly furniture after you’ve purchased it, all over the web. Largely intended for products from a well-known Swedish superstore, hacks normally involve a fair amount of faff and fuss. And the results may be less than wonderful. OK, let’s admit it, sometimes they’re just plain hideous. Often…
Holiday Weekend: Time For A New Wardrobe!
Ah, May Bank Holiday, the perfect time to swap out your wardrobe – in both senses. What with those recent icy temperatures, wind, rain and snow (snow!!) it’s not surprising winter woollies and coats are still in use. But now, with some sun (we hope!) and a long weekend ahead, let’s get wardrobe happy! If…
Good Homes Puts Our Bookcase On The Front Cover!
A beautiful bespoke bookcase from Jali is on the cover of Good Homes this month. And on a couple of inside spreads too, as the magazine celebrates spring and suggests fresh ideas we can use to brighten up our interiors. Grey is still a key colour, but the palette does seem to be lightening up,…
Shelving Makeover Magic: Fast, Frugal And Fabulous!
At Jali we are big fans of Kimberly Duran, whose Swoon Worthy blog is full of DIY decorating inspiration and ideas.

They hide ugly heaters, transform them into stylish features and make them safer for young and old alike, as no-one can accidentally touch or fall…
A Seventies Remix You’ll Love This Easter Weekend!
The big interior trends for 2016 include: wait for it… the Seventies! Ah, the decade that taste forgot, according to my other half. Smoked glass, flowered Crimplene, beige flares – in fact, just check out Abigail’s Party and you’re pretty much there. Who’d have thought anyone would willingly bring such delights back? But it’s being…
Linda Barker Chooses Jali For Her Traditionally British Ideal Home!
We’re thrilled that one of TV’s favourite interior designers, Linda Barker (left), has chosen Jali furniture for her Traditionally British Home at this year’s Ideal Home exhibition at Olympia, London. We made a dresser for the lounge and a wardrobe for the master bedroom, to Linda’s designs. Both can be seen in the house, which…
Home Improvement Made Easy
Getting on with it, making things look, feel and work better – we humans seem to have an inbuilt urge for many kinds of positive action, including home improvement. Self-help or self-improvement became “a thing” in the Victorian era, while home improvement had to wait until the 20th century to really get going. Sadly, some…

Two of the lovely folk at the (very stylish) RockMyStyle blog recently asked us to make a cupboard for a living room. And we did just that. It was for a refurbishment project called Rock My Room and we were delighted to help. You can see in detail just what Lauren and James did with…
