Our Stylist Says
I love the Rib sideboard for its clean, contemporary lines and warm, natural finish, which make it highly versatile in a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired spaces where its understated design can shine, but it’s equally suited to cosy, eclectic schemes as a practical storage piece. Styling tips include pairing it with textured ceramics or colourful vases on top to add visual interest, or placing it against a textured wall for a layered look. Its low profile makes it perfect for anchoring a living room or dining area without overwhelming the space, while the ample internal storage keeps clutter out of sight, maintaining a tidy and stylish environment.

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.
