Catwalk to couch: Oh la la - Les Miserables might not be a barrel of laughs (the clue's in the title) but it's inspired us to look to French style interiors

As they say, the clue's in the title. Les Miserables is not your average saturday-night-feel-good movie. But it has garnered rave reviews, a bucket load of awards and a loyal fan base who are willing to brave the emotional rollercoaster to see their favourite stars in action.

Rather than dwell on the misery element of the film we've decided to
focus on the French-style interiors and use it as inspiration for this week's
catwalk to couch.

You need a comfy seat to watch this epic film - all 157 minutes of it. Revel in the French styling of this hand-carved chair and settle down to watch Hugh Jackman, Eddie Redmayne et all do their mean and moody worst. Versailles Baby Chair £315, The French Bedroom Company.
