3.
Heima, Lytham Heima, in Station Road, owned by Jo Richardson, sources individual, high quality items of furniture for the home and garden. As each piece is individual, stock is constantly changing, providing a wealth of variety, focusing mainly on the coastal theme. The emphasis is on original decorative pieces rather than reproduction. This way not only will you own a great piece it will also hold its value. It stocks Annie Sloan Chalk Paint products. Open Tuesday to Thursday, 11am until 4pm; Friday 11.30am until 4pm; and Saturday 10.30am until 4pm. For updated information on opening restrictions visit https://www.facebook.com/HeimaLytham
