22 hours ago | livingetc.com | Devin Toolen

Sofas are more than just a place to sit — they're the focal point of the living room. Of course, their sheer size makes an immediate statement, but it's often the color that has the biggest impact.

London's summer is admittedly fleeting. But of late, we've been lucky enough to experience long, sunlit days and warm weather.

On a recent roam around the department store fragrance counters, some strange-looking bags caught my attention. Coffee beans? No. Surely not. Well, turns out, these bags were actually filled with powdered candle wax, designed to refill Siblings' eco-friendly candle vessels. Clever, right? Now, as a candle lover, I'm no stranger to the refillable strategy. But I'll be honest, it's not common that I see refills just as stylish as the best candles you'd usually buy. And why not?

TikTok hacks aren't always the source of reliable, useful advice. And when I noticed that people are swapping their hangers for smaller, typically less weight-resistant, children's hangers, I was sure it would be a scroll past and not a save. However, I must say I was wrong.
