House of Fraser has launched is latest exclusive homeware collection - Pied a Terre Home.

Pied a Terre has been long established as a footwear brand and paying homage to its roots, the first collection offers a fashion-led range of must-have homeware. Featuring a mix of luxe fabrics, mirrored finishes, bold colour and high shine accessories, the Pied a Terre homeware is an elegant and stylish new addition to the world of Home and the collection is only available at House of Fraser.

Metallic detailing is key in dining. A touch of gold provides a glam finish on pink and purple patterned dinnerware, while fine gold stripes on white and a simple gold rim on black encapsulates a distinctly sophisticated feel. Silver looks fresh and bright on a cool eau de nil base while gold and black gloss cutlery sits with coloured porcelain dinnerware creating a polished, modern feel.

Layering provides a sumptuous feel to bedlinen. Luxurious throws and embellished, ruched and embroidered cushions add the finishing touches to the designs. A soft-grey herringbone pleat design is perfectly coordinated with matching cushions and a dove-grey headboard for super-chic style. For a feminine feel an embroidered chinoiserie design in shades of pink will brighten any bedroom, while a simple white ruffle design offsets with black to add a harder edge.

In furniture a slick range of black lacquer tables, shelving and cabinets provide a high-gloss base for statement dinnerware and home accessories in bold colours. For a refined look a black glass-topped side table with mirrored legs makes a delightful surface for soft grey accessories and eau de nil dinnerware. Upholstery takes inspiration from the latest catwalk looks featuring a selection of different fabrics and colours. A soft-grey cotton sofa is a piece for any modern living space while a sumptuous deep purple design adds richness to a simple low-key setting. For a smaller piece of furniture, a soft-red velvet armchair sits perfectly with a simple black floor lamp while a soft duck egg chaise lounge looks effortlessly elegant with a single pink cushion.

Pied a Terre Home is exclusive to House of Fraser and shoppers can take a sneak preview of the collection through the House of Fraser website and order online or make a purchase in store from February.

In addition to the homeware collection, customers can also purchase Pied a Terre shoes both online and in store.
