Our Stylist Says
I love the little linen bookcase for its practicality and charming, light-hearted design. Its stripe blue fabric makes it versatile, ideal for kids’ rooms, playrooms, or even cozy family spaces where a touch of colour is welcome. It works well in interiors that lean towards scandi or coastal looks, adding a relaxed, informal vibe. When styling, consider filling it with colourful books, small toys, or decorative baskets to keep things organised and visually appealing. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller spaces or for creating a dedicated reading corner, while the playful design helps make storage feel less functional and more fun.

About Habitat
The Birth of Habitat
In 1964, Sir Terence Conran founded Habitat in London, aiming to bring a fresh European touch to UK home decor.
The first store, located on Fulham Road in Chelsea, became the blueprint for all Habitat stores to come. The store stood out with its distinct design, and was famously known for selling affordable pasta storage jars just as the pasta market began booming in the UK.
Rapid Expansion & Legacy
Habitat grew swiftly in the UK during the 1960s and even crossed borders with its first international store in Paris in 1973.
The brand's journey through the decades saw various mergers and acquisitions, including its integration with Sainsbury's Group in 2017.
Habitat's innovation extended beyond products; they even launched a mail-order system in 1966 and initiated the concept of flat-pack furniture in 1971.
Celebrating its rich history, the brand marked its 50th anniversary in 2014 by collaborating with past designers and commissioning a special logo.
Innovation & Collaboration
Habitat has always been at the forefront of modern design. Throughout its history, the brand has been renowned for its collaborations with acclaimed artists and designers, ensuring it consistently offers unique, limited-edition collections.
Under the umbrella of the Sainsbury's Group since 2017, Habitat continues its tradition of merging contemporary aesthetics with functional design, solidifying its reputation as a leading name in home furnishings.
