Pia's picks: Cork - the secret hero in the living room

Coaster, pin board or floor covering - cork is rarely in the limelight. But the material also has a lot to offer in other forms, such as table tops, cabinet fronts or stools.

Cork is a secret recipe for cosiness - it's not always immediately noticeable, but it makes all the difference. It offers a blend of warmth and style that makes your home cosier.

An insulation wonder

The chameleon in interior design

Whether as a building material, piece of furniture or decoration - cork integrates seamlessly into any room, like a secret spice that adds a warm, organic touch to any ambience.

In the series "Pia's Picks" you can regularly see my favourite finds. They are things that I don't need, but adore anyway.
