Chambray – the colour of faded denim – is the shade of the season. On furniture it is robust enough to take all a family might throw at it. This cool Coast sofa, €1,885, by French Connection is exclusive to DFS (dfs.ie) are offering 10 per cent off it to Irish Times readers. It’s a smart way to update any room that gets the sun.
