Every week Sue O’Connor picks her top three interiors sites. If you have a favourite you’d like to see featured, email: [e-mail].

1 Normann Copenhagen

For a glimpse into the future check out this site. If you are in Copenhagen do drop by, it advises. Well we might not be that way for a while so instead let’s glide effortlessly through the delights of Scandinavian designs and Nordic charms. Slick photography promotes each product and the back story of how a cognac tumbler was designed would tempt you to buy one even if you are not partial to the beverage. Unusual items are in abundance on these pages and perfect for creating that Stieg Larsson-look to your home.

2 Zoffany

To get inspiration for your home a totter around this site to see what’s available may work for you. A wealth of fabrics, wallpapers, paints, furniture, trimmings and carpets all feature. Its wares are stocked in Irish stores so check out its listed stockists for one near you. Quality and elegance are to the fore here from this company who had its humble beginnings as a historic wall covering supplier. Posey wallpapers, posey embroideries and akita weaves along with tinto wools are order of the day in its new collection section.

3 Flexible Love

If you do one thing online today type in ‘flexible love chair’ on www.youtube.com. This has a true wow factor. Its furniture has a “honeycomb” structure made from recycled paper and recycled wood waste. It can be adapted to sit one person or stretched out to park 16 people on it. The accordion-like quality allows each piece to be extended and collapsed with a simple pull of the side. It was designed by Taiwanese designer Chishen Chiu, but is available through Europe.
