Vintage lamp
Emmaus Bolton supporter Sarah Morris-Turner pairs this charity shop vintage table and lamp beautifully with a metal antique-style decanter set and silver look tray. Look at the curve on this retro lamp and 1970s lampshade. What an Emmaus find!
Retro contrast
The orange wall really makes this retro Emmaus Bolton sideboard stand out. A bright colour contrast with a wooden piece of furniture is one of our top ideas for the living room. It’s beautifully styled with books, a retro storage case and framed photo by supporter of our homelessness charity, Tracy Hindley.
Sustainable and chic
The early phone, plates, vase and plants, in Emmaus Bolton pots, really suit the top of this second-hand sideboard. Great sitting room decor ideas from our sustainable shopper, Tracy Hindley.
Unique storage
This cubed wooden storage unit from Emmaus Bolton has a new look thanks to Rebecca Ebbitt, who is using this unique piece of furniture to keep vinyl, a record-player and speakers. You can browse all our vintage vinyl, preloved LPs, singles, CDs and DVDs upstairs from our cafe in The Cottages.
Preloved and perfect
Thank you Mary Nuttall for sharing this picture of a gorgeous Emmaus Bolton cream sofa. The patterned and Manchester bee cushions work well as ideas for the living room. The gold-look plant pot against wooden flooring really make this settee stand out.
Furniture to fit
Emmaus Bolton’s workshops team can make bespoke wooden furniture to fit your space. Lynda Hall has hung plants and a heart from the hooks she commissioned from us, and positioned ornamental houses on the shelf to give this item a whole new look. Come to our workshops team with your project, and we will help you with ideas for your space.
Cottage style
Emmaus Bolton supporter Dawn Smith teams this wall unit wonderfully with a leafy green indoor plant in light grey homeware. Decorated with a Singer sewing machine and the case against white walls, this style shouts cottagecore!
Standout interiors
How about purchasing a retro patterned piece in a bright colour to give your house an overhaul? Or commission our workshops team to upcycle a piece of furniture for you? Rebecca Ebbitt’s stylish lampshade, vase and yellow flowers complement this Emmaus Bolton sideboard beautifully. We love the macrame and little wooden ornaments!
Upcycled fireplace
Kyrsten Nice upcycled this Emmaus Bolton surround and fire to suit the style of her home. Make sure you think about the rest of your space when you’re styling your home.
Mix it up
Supporter Earlie Chhabra styles these blue vases beautifully, either side of this Emmaus Bolton sideboard in dusky pink while the patterns on the unit and bedside tables really go well with each other. Great living room theme ideas.
Colour matching
Thank you to Earlie Chhabra for sending in this picture of a preloved wall unit purchased from Emmaus Bolton. The metallic pink bottles and wine glass stem go well with the floral backing to these shelves, as well as the hue on the doors and drawers. These treasures are lovely living room ideas.
Countryside charm
Isn’t it great when you find ornaments that match your living room decor ideas? Earlie Chhabra’s photo frames and clock do just that. Have a look around our charity shops and boutiques to see what you can find, repaint or repurpose.
