Smart Idea: Utility Stool

Humble benches and utility stools can be great finds, but their honest lines are often spoilt by a lunch guest’s demand for a cushion – which often ends up on the floor anyway!

A quick fix is to use Sellotape Hook & Loop, a length of hook-and-loop fastening tape that comes in a handy dispenser – it will keep the cushion from slipping to the floor and can be removed after the meal. It does the job and it looks good.

We bought Sellotape Hook & Loop (20 mm x 2 m) for R55 at Builders Warehouse and the utility stool is from Amatuli (R880).
