Classy choices to brighten up your home

In an attempt to save money, my partner and myself have taken up the ultimate hobby of watching DVDs. We either rent new films out or borrow oldies and classics from friends, always sticking to our vital goal of not spending unnecessary cash on a hectic nightlife or chic restaurants.

And I must admit, I’m happy. Our friends come round, we open a bottle of wine, discuss films, music, gossip about people we don’t like and people who don’t like us and have a good laugh.

However, I haven’t completely gotten over my spending obsession and thus became vulnerable when I set eyes on a few pieces of furniture by Contra Forma while on my way to work. Well, I’ve held back on the clothes and accessories shopping and since we’re spending so much time at home, might as well make the place presentable, right?

‘Presentable’ not being the operative word here as this kind of furniture is the definition of style and trendy. Looking for a stylish storage case? Look no further as Contra Forma have a multi-function storage case, practical in design and a charming accessory. Or maybe you need an elegant design solution for seating and storage problems. Made in silk-screen printed corrugated cardboard covered with printed synthetic felt, the Mutabor chair is a perfect disposable furniture solution.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
