If you’ve been dreaming about giving your home a stylish update but aren’t sure where to start, allow us to introduce the Darwin Green & Oak range. At The Home & Office Stores we fell head over heels for this gorgeous collection, and we think you will too. The Darwin range blends deep grey-green tones with warm oak accents and elevates the lot on slender metal legs. The result? Furniture that feels both modern and inviting, industrial yet cosy. Grab a cuppa, settle in and let us take you on a tour of this show-stopping range.
Why We Love the Darwin Collection
We’re proud to stock a wide range of furniture, but every so often a collection comes along that really captures our hearts. The Darwin range does just that. It combines a rich colour palette with clever storage solutions and exceptional craftsmanship. Each piece pairs a sleek greyish-green body with coast evoke oak panels, creating a two-tone effect that’s full of character. The high metal legs lighten the look and echo the industrial trend without going overboard. Practicality isn’t forgotten either – you’ll find push-to-open drawers, grooved handleless doors, soft-close fittings and generous compartments hidden behind those handsome façades.
In other words, Darwin furniture doesn’t just look good – it helps you get organised. Whether you need a new coffee table that hides remote controls, a bookcase that shows off your favourite reads, or a combi wardrobe that keeps clothes and accessories neatly separated, there’s a piece for you. The consistent design language means you can furnish multiple rooms with matching pieces for a cohesive look across your home. Because the range is delivered flat-packed with clear instructions, it’s easy to carry into awkward rooms or up narrow stairs and assemble in situ. And thanks to our free UK mainland delivery service, your order will arrive quickly and without any nasty surprises.
Let’s Start in the Living Room
Your living room is often the first space guests see and the place where you wind down at the end of a busy day. A statement coffee table or TV unit can set the tone for the whole room. The Darwin range offers several options to help you create the perfect lounge.
A Show-Stopping Coffee Table
A coffee table anchors your seating area and gives you somewhere to rest your brew (or a bowl of crisps…we don’t judge). Our Darwin Coffee Table combines style and substance with its green body, oak back panel and airy metal legs. Unlike some tables that are all looks and no storage, this one features two open compartments – one large and one small – ideal for storing magazines or showing off decorative pieces. Because the table sits higher off the ground, it creates an illusion of space and makes hoovering a breeze. It’s the perfect centrepiece for a sofa set and coordinates beautifully with both modern and rustic décor.
TV Cabinets for Every Screen Size
Not all televisions are created equal, and your cabinet should suit your screen as well as your storage needs. The Darwin range offers two heights of TV cabinet:
- The 50 cm High TV Cabinet is ideal for smaller rooms or for those who prefer a lower viewing position. It stands on tall metal legs and features a handleless sliding door with a grooved oak front. Inside there are six cubed compartments – two large and four small – so you can tuck away consoles, media players and stacks of DVDs. The full-length top easily accommodates a wide screen, and the open sections mean remote signals can reach your devices.
- The 73 cm High TV Cabinet raises your screen to eye level and comes with seven compartments to maximise storage. Like its smaller sibling, it sports a grooved sliding door in oak effect and sleek green panels. The extra height makes it a great choice if you need more room for sound systems or gaming accessories.
Whichever height you choose, these TV cabinets share the same attention to detail: smooth sliding doors, generous storage cubes and metal legs that lend a touch of industrial chic. Our customers often pair them with the coffee table for a coordinated living-room set.
Sideboards: Streamline Your Storage
Sideboards have come a long way from the dowdy cabinets of yesteryear. They’re now essential pieces for keeping living and dining areas tidy. The Darwin range offers three distinct sideboards, each designed to suit different spaces:
- Single-Door Sideboard: The Darwin 1 Door Sideboard is compact but mighty. It houses six cube compartments behind one grooved oak door and three open fronts. The high metal legs and sliding door echo the range’s signature style. We love using the open sections to display family photos or decorative vases, while tucking away board games and coasters behind the door.
- Two-Door Sideboard: If you’re after more storage, the Darwin 2 Door Sideboard offers nine cubed compartments. Two grooved sliding doors hide six of them, leaving three open for display. This layout is great if you want to keep clutter out of sight while still showing off a few favourite pieces.
- Two-Door, Two-Drawer Sideboard: The Darwin 2 Door 2 Drawer Sideboard ups the ante with two spacious drawers and two doors. One door is a solid green panel, while the other is grooved oak. Push-to-open drawers slide on ball-bearing guides for a smooth, handle-free experience. This sideboard is perfect for dining rooms where you need space for cutlery, linens and serving dishes.
All three sideboards share the same footprint depth (40 cm) and match the range’s height, so you can line them up for an impressive wall of storage or mix and match depending on your needs.
Show Off Your Book Collection
Book lovers, we see you. There’s nothing quite like a good bookcase to make a room feel lived-in and intellectual (even if your shelves are filled with cookbooks and graphic novels). The Darwin 2 Door Bookcase icks all the boxes: style, storage and versatility. It includes ten square compartments, four of which can be hidden behind two grooved sliding doors. Use the closed sections for paperwork or kids’ craft supplies, and let your favourite hardbacks take pride of place in the open shelves.
At 162.8 cm tall and 75 cm wide, it’s substantial but not overpowering. The metal legs lift it off the ground, and the green and oak finishes tie it in with the rest of the range. It works just as well in a living room as it does in a home office or hallway, especially when you pair it with the matching desk.
Create a Stylish Workspace
With remote work on the rise, having a dedicated desk that’s as beautiful as it is practical has become essential. The Darwin 2 Drawer Desk is designed for productivity without sacrificing style. Its generous 120 cm-wide top provides plenty of space for your laptop, notebook and that obligatory coffee mug. Underneath, two deep drawers – one with a grooved oak front – hide away stationery, chargers and snacks (we know you’ve got some stashed). The drawers open with a gentle push and glide smoothly thanks to ball-bearing guides.
On either side of the knee space are two open cubes, perfect for storing reference books or decorative boxes. Because the desk sits on high metal legs, you can easily slide a storage basket underneath. We’ve even seen customers use this desk as a dressing table in bedrooms; simply add a mirror and you’re ready for the day.
Our Favourite Bedroom Statement Piece
How often have you wrestled with a wardrobe door that refuses to stay shut or drawers that jam when you’re in a rush? The Darwin 2 Door 2 Drawer Wardrobe is here to make your mornings smoother. This combi wardrobe marries hanging space with shelving and drawers in one compact footprint. One door is a solid panel in greyish green, while the other is three-quarters height, revealing two push-to-open drawers at the bottom.
Behind the doors you’ll find a metal hanging rail for shirts and jackets and six shelves that create seven square compartments. The drawers feature the same ball-bearing guides and push-to-open mechanism as the desk and sideboard. Measuring 188.4 cm tall, it provides ample storage without overwhelming the bedroom.
Quality You Can Count On
We take pride in the furniture we sell and are picky about the brands we stock. Furniture To Go, the manufacturer of the Darwin range, uses high-quality laminated board that is resistant to scratches, moisture and heat. This makes Darwin pieces durable and easy to clean, an important consideration for busy households. The push-to-open drawers and grooved sliding doors not only look sleek but also reduce the risk of snagging clothing or bumping into protruding handles.
Each product arrives flat-packed with full assembly instructions, meaning you don’t need to be a DIY expert to put them together. Because the components are boxed, they’re easier to manoeuvre through tight hallways and up staircases.
Styling Tips: Getting the Most from the Darwin Range
- Contrast with lighter colours: The deep green finish pops against neutral walls. Think warm white, soft grey or even blush pink for a fun twist.
- Add texture: Grooved doors already introduce texture, but you can add more with woven baskets, velvet cushions or chunky throws.
- Metallic accents: Brass or gold accessories look brilliant against the green finish.
- Botanical touches: Plants always make furniture shine – plus they echo the green tones.
- Lighting matters: Warm lighting softens the industrial feel of the legs and sliding doors.
