Upholstery Care
Textural and timeless, bouclé upholstery adds depth and softness to any interior. Due to its looped yarns, it requires gentle, consistent care.
- Regular Maintenance: Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and prevent build-up within the loops. Avoid pulling any loose threads – carefully snip them instead.
- Spill Management: Immediately blot spills using a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this may distort the texture.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, use a specialist upholstery cleaner or consult a professional. Avoid harsh chemicals or water saturation.
Chenille fabrics like Lander Shade are known for their soft, tactile quality and subtle sheen. They're durable yet require thoughtful care.
- Routine Care: Gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment to lift surface dust and preserve the nap.
- Stain Treatment: Blot any stains promptly with a soft cloth. A mild soap and warm water solution can be used for spot cleaning, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Abrasion: Keep chenille away from sharp objects or rough clothing to prevent pilling or thread pulls.

Glass
Step into the world of glass furniture care, where every gleam reflects not just elegance but also the meticulous attention it deserves. From preserving pristine clarity to warding off pesky smudges, embark on a journey of discovery to unveil the secrets of nurturing your glass treasures.
Glass Care
Dust Regularly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth or microfiber duster to remove surface dust without scratching.
Fingerprints & Marks: For smudges or fingerprints, use a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth followed by a dry cloth to polish.
Routine Cleaning: Apply a streak-free, ammonia-free glass cleaner to a cloth (not directly to the surface), then wipe gently. Avoid spraying cleaner directly on or around wooden, metal, or stone components.
- Act Quickly: Clean spills immediately to avoid potential staining or damage to supporting materials (e.g., wood or brass trim).
- Avoid Abrasives: Never use scouring pads, powder cleaners, or rough cloths, as they can scratch or dull the finish.
- Hard Water Marks: For stubborn limescale, use a mild solution of white vinegar and warm water, applied with a cloth and followed by a clean water wipe. Avoid this method near stone or metal finishes.
Clear Glass
- Ideal for bright, open looks but may show smudges more easily.
- Polish with a dry microfiber cloth regularly for a pristine finish.
- Use coasters and placemats to avoid water rings or surface scratching.
Smoked or Tinted Glass
- Tinted glass is often more forgiving with marks but can still scratch.
- Use only non-abrasive cloths and avoid coloured cleaning products that may stain the edges or tint.
Fluted or Ribbed Glass
- Dust carefully with a soft brush or microfiber cloth to avoid residue build-up between ridges.
- Clean along the grooves with a damp cloth or soft brush (like a natural bristle toothbrush) for hard-to-reach areas.
- Avoid excess water that may seep into detailing or joinery.
Mirrored or Antique Glass
- Wipe with a barely damp microfiber cloth and avoid letting moisture reach the backing, as this may cause oxidation or de-silvering.
- Never use vinegar or acid-based cleaners on antique or foxed finishes.
- Dry completely with a lint-free cloth after cleaning to preserve the reflective quality.
- Avoid Direct Impact: Even toughened glass can crack or shatter if struck with force. Avoid placing heavy or sharp items directly on the surface.
- Use Soft Pads: Place soft felt or rubber pads under decorative objects to prevent micro-scratches.
- No Dragging: Lift objects rather than dragging them to avoid etching the surface.
- Temperature Awareness: Avoid placing extremely hot or cold items directly on glass without protection — use trivets or coasters.
- Children & Pets: If glass is used on low-level tables or shelving, consider placement away from high-traffic zones to prevent accidents.
- Monthly Deep Clean: Schedule a more thorough clean with a professional-grade glass cleaner, checking edges, frames, and structural components.
- Check for Loose Fittings: Periodically inspect metal or wooden frames supporting the glass, tightening screws and checking joints if needed.
- Sunlight Exposure: Some tinted or treated glass may fade or discolour under prolonged direct sunlight — consider blinds or UV-filtering window film where needed.

Metal
Unlock the secrets to preserving the gleam and durability of your metal furniture as we delve into the essential techniques for optimal care. From shielding against the elements to restoring that showroom shine, embark on a journey to ensure your prized pieces stand the test of time.
Metal Care
- Dusting: Wipe regularly with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and maintain sheen.
- Cleaning: For light marks or fingerprints, use a damp cloth followed by a dry one. Avoid saturating the metal or letting water sit on the surface.
- Product Choice: Always use pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners. Never use bleach, ammonia, or harsh chemicals as they may damage or discolour the finish.
Brushed Brass / Brushed Bronze
Elegant with a warm, muted shine and directional grain.
- Care: Wipe in the direction of the grain using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive motions or harsh products that may scratch or strip the finish.
- Protection: Use gloves when handling if possible, as natural oils can tarnish the surface over time.
- Polishing: Avoid commercial brass polishes unless specifically marked “safe for lacquered finishes.”
Polished Stainless Steel / Chrome
Highly reflective with a smooth, modern finish.
- Care: Polish gently with a microfiber cloth to remove smudges. For stubborn marks, use a diluted soap solution and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid Scratches: Do not use paper towels, as they can cause micro-abrasions. Always opt for lint-free cloths.
- Water Spots: Dry promptly after cleaning to prevent water marks or streaks.
Powder-Coated Metal (Black, White, Grey, etc.)
Durable and modern, often used on frames or structural pieces.
- Cleaning: Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse and dry well.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive pads or polishers, as they can wear down the protective coating.
- Tip: Check regularly for chips or scratches and touch up as needed to prevent rusting.
Antique or Patinated Metal
Unique in character, these surfaces are intentionally aged or treated for texture and depth.
- Dusting: Gently dust with a soft cloth. Avoid any cleaning solutions unless confirmed safe for the finish.
- Avoid: Never attempt to polish or buff antique metals — this may remove the intended patina.
- Protection: Keep dry and avoid contact with acidic or alcohol-based liquids.
✅ Do
- Use coasters, placemats, and felt pads under décor and serveware.
- Test cleaners on a small, hidden area before full application.
- Clean regularly to avoid build-up of grime or oxidation.
🚫 Don’t
- Don’t use scouring pads, steel wool, or abrasive polishes.
- Don’t leave moisture or spills to sit — always wipe dry immediately.
- Don’t place metal items in direct contact with high humidity sources like plant pots or wet trays.
- Avoid Humidity: Keep metal furnishings in well-ventilated, dry environments. Excessive moisture can lead to corrosion or tarnishing over time.
- Sunlight Exposure: Limit direct sun on dark or blackened metals to prevent potential discolouration.
- Handling: Use care when moving metal pieces to avoid denting, warping, or joint loosening.

Ceramic
Liang & Eimil ceramics are handcrafted with exceptional artistry, designed to elevate interiors with their sculptural elegance and timeless texture. To preserve their refined finish and ensure long-lasting beauty, please follow these detailed care instructions.
Ceramic Care
- Handle all ceramic items with care, especially those with sculptural or irregular silhouettes.
- Place on stable surfaces away from high-traffic areas or shelving edges to minimise the risk of accidental knocks or tipping.
- When moving ceramic pieces, lift them from their base—never from protruding elements such as handles or rims.
Regular care will maintain the lustre and integrity of your ceramic pieces. Here's how to clean them safely:
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster to gently remove surface dust. This prevents buildup that may dull the surface.
- General Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, wipe with a slightly dampened, soft cloth using clean lukewarm water. If needed, add a drop of mild, pH-neutral dish soap.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn marks, use a soft sponge dampened with warm water and a mild soap. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring powders, or acid-based cleaners, which may scratch or erode the glaze.
- Matte Finishes: For unglazed or matte ceramics, avoid excessive moisture and clean only with a dry or lightly damp cloth, as water can darken or discolour the surface temporarily.
While many of our ceramic vases are watertight, we strongly recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to standing water:
Do not leave water in ceramic vases for extended periods. Due to the natural porosity of ceramic, especially in handmade or artisanal pieces, water can gradually seep through, leading to condensation, surface damage, or leakage.
For fresh flower arrangements:
- Use a waterproof liner or insert a smaller glass vessel inside the ceramic vase.
- Empty and dry the vase completely after each use.
- Always dry the interior thoroughly to prevent water absorption.
Keep ceramic items away from direct sunlight, damp areas, or near radiators and fireplaces, as temperature fluctuations may cause expansion, contraction, or fine cracking.
Avoid outdoor use unless specifically stated as outdoor-safe.
