Description
Salina is a contemporary bedroom collection, yet one which remains true to the Ercol design principles of simplicity, elegance, practicality, and lasting beauty. It is made in solid ash and ash veneers, in their Vintage finish, giving it an ageless quality that is equally appropriate for both traditional and modern settings.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Ercol Salina bed for its classic spindle headboard and timeless vintage ash finish, which lends warmth and character to any bedroom. It works particularly well in Scandi or mid-century interiors due to its simple yet elegant design, but it can also be styled in more eclectic spaces by mixing textures and colours. Practical styling tips include pairing it with crisp white or muted bedding for a minimalist look, or layering with textured throws and cushions for a cosy feel. Its neutral tone makes it versatile, so it pairs effortlessly with both modern and traditional furniture, making it a great anchor piece in a variety of bedroom décors.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
