Our Stylist Says
I really like the Giles bedside table for its clean, natural look - it’s a versatile piece that can slot into both modern and rustic interiors. Its Scandinavian-inspired design, with simple lines and warm wood finish, makes it ideal for creating a calm, inviting bedroom. I’d suggest styling it with minimal accessories to emphasise its understated appeal, perhaps a sleek table lamp or a couple of favourite books. Practical tips include pairing it with a soft, textured bed linen for a cosy yet contemporary feel, and using the drawers for bedside essentials to keep the space clutter-free. Overall, it’s a practical yet stylish addition that lends a natural touch to your bedroom scheme.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
