Our Stylist Says
This footstool is just the right piece to add a relaxed, inviting feel to a living room or bedroom. I love its contemporary shape combined with the casual, slubby linen fabric, which gives it an understated yet Textural appeal. It works well in cosy, informal schemes or even in more pared-back, minimalist interiors where it can bring a touch of softness. Practical styling tips include using it as a footrest alongside a sofa, or pulling it into a corner as a soft seat option. Its neutral tone and modest size make it versatile, so it’s perfect for layering with other textiles or for adding a convenient extra seat without cluttering the space. The simple wooden legs help anchor it in more traditional or Scandi-style interiors, making it a flexible addition across different design themes.

About Loaf
From Beds to Diverse Furniture
Loaf is a popular British furniture store that started as "The Sleep Room" by Charlie Marshall in 2008. Charlie used money from selling his old business and his savings to start it.
At first, they just sold beds, with Charlie researching 187 mattress and bed factories to ensure only the best products. But by 2012, they began selling other furniture like sofas, chairs, and lights, which led to its rebranding as "Loaf."
Their growth was so impressive that by 2013, they ranked 40th on the Sunday Times Fast Track 100, becoming the 3rd fastest growing retailer in the UK.
Sustainability and Ethical Approach
Loaf's commitment to the environment and ethical practices is evident in their efforts to ensure sustainable sourcing. They aim for all their materials to be responsibly sourced or derived from recycled materials by 2025.
For instance, the timber in their sofa frames comes from responsibly managed forests. Additionally, they're working towards reducing their carbon emissions, improving packaging to be 100% recyclable, and respecting animal welfare.
Notably, their wool will be certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by 2023. Loaf also ensures that all their employees, or 'Loafers,' are paid at least the 'real' Living Wage.
Locations and Community Engagement
Presently, Loaf boasts ten showrooms, uniquely referred to as 'slowrooms,' mainly around London. Beyond just business, they're active in community engagement.
They have partnered with St Mungo's, a leading UK charity, aiming to spend 10,000 hours over the next three years volunteering and raising funds to combat homelessness.
