REALLY USEFUL BARGAINS

Space-saving furniture

ALWAYS wanted a proper dining table but never had the space? Need your sitting room to double as a working area? Then take a look at the Mascotte from One Deko, a coffee table that opens out into a full-sized dining table at the touch of a button.

You can raise or lower the table to seven different heights or extend it from coffee table size to a dining table to seat six.

The elegant Italian-made Mascotte is manufactured from solid wood and wood veneer, and is available in beech, cherry, light walnut or wenge.

It normally costs Pounds 595, but readers can get it for Pounds 495 if they mention this column. Delivery throughout the UK costs Pounds 50 and takes six weeks.

One Deko, Old Spittlefields Market, 111-113 Commercial Street, E1 (020 7375 3289; www.onedeko.co.uk).

White Company sale

The White Company, famous for its stylish home accessories and clothing, is having a new year sale until 26 February.

Go along and get 10 per cent off Egyptian cotton bed linen and 20 per cent off woven and waffle bed linen ranges. And for secret horders there is 50 per cent off unsold Christmas stock.

Find The White Company at Symons Street, SW3; Marylebone High Street, W1 and Brent Cross Shopping Centre, or Little White Company stores at Marylebone High Street, W1 and Pavillion Road, SW1. You can buy online at www.thewhitecompany.com or call 0870 900 9555.

Dining Javanese style

Just added to the range of Old Ginger reclaimed teak furniture are some gorgeous dining tables made from original antique doors. Sourced from buildings across Java, Indonesia, the doors are intricately carved and come with a protective glass top. During January they have been reduced for Homes Property readers from Pounds 895 to Pounds 625.

Old Ginger is also offering 15 per cent off all other dining tables currently in stock (prices start from Pounds 977), but only while stocks last.

Old Ginger, 1b Bridge Studios, 318-326 Wandsworth Bridge Road, SW6 (020 7384 3130; www.oldginger.com).

One-stop worktop shop

Operating out of a warehouse in Lancashire, and thus keeping overheads low, www.worktopshop.com offers quality timber, laminate and solid surface worktops with prices starting from Pounds 35 for a standard three-metre length.

Better still, it keeps a wealth of stock ready for instant dispatch.

Simply place your order online and worktopshop.com will deliver direct to your site within 48 hours.

Oriental offer

Supatra specialises in the reproduction of classic oriental furniture using reclaimed elm, and also sources antiques from China.

I particularly like its reproduction Chinese wedding cabinets which come with a lacquered finish in red or black. They are a good size for modern living and make perfect wardrobes.

Normally priced at Pounds 790, they have been reduced to Pounds 710.

And, in order to make room for its new range, Supatra is selling some of its stock at up to 40 per cent off.

Supatra, The Old Coach House, 59 St Leonards Road, Windsor (01753 858885; www.supatra.co.uk).

Luxury leather

Handmade in the UK, Darlings of Chelsea's leather sofas, chairs and sofabeds are made with untreated aniline leather, which shows all the natural markings and, over time, distresses beautifully.

Its January sale is now on, offering discounts of up to 20 per cent across the range. The Liberty three-seater sofa is Pounds 920 (down from Pounds 1,100), the Statton three-seater sofa is Pounds 920, reduced from Pounds 1,3776 and the Bronx three-seater is now Pounds 955 down from Pounds 1,440. All are available in burgundy, brown, tan and black.

As pieces are handmade, delivery takes five to seven weeks and is usually a flat rate of Pounds 45 throughout the UK. But Homes Property readers who place their orders in-store or by telephone before the end of this month, can take delivery for just Pounds 20, as long as they mention this column.

Darlings of Chelsea, Room 507, Riverbank House, 1 Putney Bridge Approach, SW6 (020 7371 5745; www.darlingsofchelsea.co.uk).
