We’ve redesigned PatinaHall Guides. The collection now brings 138 practical articles together in nine topic sections, with pictures and short previews to help you find advice for the piece you are buying, repairing or making room for.
Chairs and armchairs, tables and desks, storage and lighting each have a place to start. There are also sections for materials and care, rooms and delivery, and buying and research. A featured Guide and recent additions give returning readers something to explore without working through the whole collection again.
From checking a piece to deciding what comes next
We’ve also updated the related reading. After learning how to inspect a woven chair seat, you can go straight to an article comparing the cost of replacing it. Six charming chairs can, after all, come with six rather less charming repair bills.
The same approach connects upholstery checks with reupholstery budgets, and lighting inspections with what to include in a rewiring quote. Each Guide now links back to its topic, taking you straight to the other chair or lighting articles when you want to keep reading.
The updated Guides are live now. Try the two chair-seat articles below, or open the directory and start with the piece you have in mind.
