December preparations

December, so only another twenty four days to get everything in order for the time of celebration.  For all of you creative people now is the time  to think about buying a fresh Christmas tree, buy all the wrapping paper, tags and cards. Maybe choose special cards for those extra special people or perhaps use your own creative skills to make some. You might also want to have a theme for your gift wraps and coordinate colours.

Baubles, beads, tinsel, pretty lights.... time to sort out the ones you have used in past years, you might even want to buy extras to add to your collection. Adorn your front door with a festive wreath and even dress an outside tree with sparkling lights.

                                              

A welcoming addition to any room or decorative area is a selection of candles but always remember, never leave lighted candles unattended.  Happy decorating.....  Sue

Countdown to Christmas

How it's crept on us yet again, every year I am sure we all think the same, should have started our festive planning earlier. Maybe you were going to buy a new sofa or perhaps dining room furniture and ran out of time, forgeting that delivery times are imperative during the seasonal period.

Here are a few inexpensive tips on how to give your home a touch of glamour to welcome guests or even just for yourselves to generally spruce up your living space without much expense.

Buy rugs or throws in snugly wool or sumptuous velvet, they can be draped over your sofas or chairs and when it gets chilly they are there ready to snuggle under and get cosy.

Add more voluptuous cushions, maybe in rich festive colours and even try some in shimmering silks. Large floor cushions can be an added bonus when extra guest arrive and seating is in demand.

Candles are in abundance at this time of year so buy plenty but remember never leave them unattended or with children alone.

You will be amazed at the transformation that these small touches will make. Happy Christmas......  Sue

More to come

New Products

There will be a collection of new products coming to the site shortly. A glass collection which comprises of coffee tables, side tables and lamps. Also a cabinet range, dining tables and chairs, occasional tables, book cases and beds.

Especially over the festive season, there are many occasions when you are in need of extra seating so I show you a useful cube stool that will fit into most room settings. 

Cleaning a leather sofa

Today I had a telephone enquiry on how to keep a leather suite clean. The best advice I can give is to use a recognised product like the Guardsman Leather cleaning Kit, which can be purchaced from us at a cost of £36 with free delivery. Also I understand on good authority that a weekly wipe over with a damp cloth or maybe a baby wipe is useful. When using a baby wipe I suggest trying it on an out of the way area first. Sue
