Do You Roll with it?

It was in in a big way with every surface covered, then it was out in the phase of changing rooms when it was paint, paint and more paint, then it started to creep back with a feature wall and now its full on back!! What am I talking about? Wallpaper of course…

What are your thoughts on matching chairs?

Are you on trend?

Following one interior design theme throughout the home can create a cohesive look. That doesn’t mean that you need the same exact colours, wallpaper etc in every room, but sticking to one overriding interior theme will look more harmonious.

Play with elements like colour and texture but if you choose an industrial theme for the living room furniture then make a nod to the industrial look in the adjoining rooms – i.e. industrial dining chairs and or lighting features.

Plants don't just look pretty

Purify the air and help us feel calmer, plants are more than just a decorative accessory.

Bang on trend

Plants are in – literally in every design scheme everywhere

Less is more?

Taking the nation by storm Marie Kondo, a Japanese organising consultant and author teaches us her method of organising. Known as the KonMari method, consisting of gathering together all of one's belongings, one category at a time, and then keeping only those things that "spark joy" and choosing a place for everything from then on.

Best Dressed

A welsh dresser makes an ideal focal point in a kitchen or dining room, dressed with your china.

Fun days with the family

Easter falls particularly late this year and in some ways whilst its been a long time coming hopefully we will be blessed with fine weather as its later in the year, although they do say April showers and all that.

Lunch in style

With Mothering Sunday just around the corner, the dining table is back on focus.

If your dining room is a truly multi-functional space, then it’s where you eat family meals, entertain friends and family and sometimes even attempt to work. When it comes to dining whatever your style, room size or budget, planning is crucial.

Light the way….

Placing a mirror in the correct place in a room allows you to optimise natural light - using reflection mirrors naturally bounce light from its source to another surface. Use this in an elongated space that is darker at one end -strategically placed mirrors bounce light into the darker areas. Top Tip: Be aware if a mirror is placed opposite a dark painted or papered wall then that is what it will show in its reflection.

Time to get Thinking...

It may be a little (Ok quite a lot) cold outside and we are spending more time indoors at this time of year so why not use this to your advantage and cosy up by the fire and make some plans… Statistics show that Spring is the traditionally said to be the best time to sell your house, and naturally follows that in Spring we do most of our house renovation and decorating projects

Table for Two?

With Valentines fast approaching the dining room can become our focus. Wether its an intimate dinner for two or a family get together for 8 our dining space has to not only perform functionally but also look good.
