January is an ideal time to pick up some bargains to help transform your home. When the decorations come down our homes can look a little sad and bare. A new throw, colourful cushions for your old sofa or a new rug to cheer up on your tired carpet can really make a difference.</div>

The tree, <a href="http://honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/about-us/in-stock-now" target="_blank">the decorations</a>, the table the food, and those <a href="http://honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/about-us/in-stock-now" target="_blank">extra special touches</a> that will make all the difference to your home. Treat your home to a magical make-over this Christmas and celebrate your well-deserved holiday in style. Rich coppers and bronzes create a warm cosy look in a living room, subtle sage greens and purples provide a scheme that is easy to live with in the hall, traditional gingham with splashes of shaker style add a country feel to a kitchen, while bold red and sparkling gold bring opulence and luxury to the dining room. <br /><br />
<h3>
Make your hall look fresh and inviting….</h3>
<br />
An inviting scheme in your hall will immediately make friends and family feel relaxed and welcome. Sage greens, pretty heather hues and hints of silver provide a light and open backdrop that won’t upstage your festive decorations. Be sure to include a few key pieces of furniture such as a handy storage bench that will cater for the extra coats, hats and shoes of your guests. The familiar scent of the tree and the banister garland will get everyone in the Christmas spirit as soon as they step through the door.<br /><br />
<h3>
Warm up your living room….</h3>
<br />Metallic golds and bronzes are Christmassy colours that lend cosy, intimate feel to a living room – the perfect environment for enchanting gifts, chatting and relaxing. Use them against a neutral backdrop of cream walls and linen coloured sofas and chairs to create a sophisticated scheme. Include piles of cushions and throws in rich fabrics, such as silk, velvet and chenille to add texture and warmth. Adorn the tree with beautiful decorations in bronze, orange and gold tones and complete the look with stunning foliage on the mantelpiece.<br /><br />
<h3>
Create a glamorous dining room....</h3>
<br />Gather friends and family around the dining table and celebrate in style. Rich red walls compliment dark wood furniture perfectly, and ivory chair covers and a cream mantelpiece lift the decorating scheme, preventing the richer colours from being overpowering. Dress the table with plenty of glass, white china and <a href="http://honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/about-us/special-offers" target="_blank">candles</a> to create a truly magical atmosphere<br /><br />
<h3>
Fill your kitchen with seasonal colours….</h3>
<br />The kitchen is the hub of the home, especially at this time of year, so make the most of with simple but gorgeous decorations with a homespun feel. Use a mini tree filled with rich reds and pretty gingham ribbons as a focal point, then team buttermilk-coloured walls with cheery red and cream check curtains and warm wool to create a relaxed country style. Add lots of natural touches such as fresh foliage and pine cones, to enhance the rustic look.<br />Honeysuckle Interiorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545251161439421013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891632015514418273.post-2257196245896977402013-10-07T02:54:00.001-07:002013-10-11T05:01:52.900-07:00Adding winter warmth - How to make your home warm and inviting this winter<h3>
<a href="http://honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/" target="_blank">Heat Your Home Up In Style This Winter With Honeysuckle Interiors</a></h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></h3>
It is heartening to see first hand evidence of recovery from the recession. The housing market is moving again and everyone is decorating and feeling more confident about making improvements to their home . Colder weather is just around the corner and as the nights draw in and the long days of summer come to and end, now is the time to get ready for winter.<br />
<br />
Nothing makes us happier than spending time at home and when your home looks good, you feel good too. Whether you’re looking forward to snuggling up during the dark evenings to enjoy this season’s must-see films or curling up on a sofa to read the latest best-selling novels, make sure your home is where your heart is at.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/accessories/furniture-gifts" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0cq86cdm5wowrrEw1F5kNa5BXzYlFmDwyr2XPBF8FKeZ02gKcQytfcuGgpSqCW5v9fekJSXHUOyoW9vUoeZi1SKr4EHrD83aUQEQrmYNtk7pUxjOjvJncAzyYU_8D2RNrcpXSPxEe9Yg/s200/Heritage+Cushion+Grey+Lifestyle.jpg" width="220" /></a>It is obviously unrealistic to redecorate every season, but you can add warmth by adding new accessories. Why not add a few extra layers to your existing furnishings to warm them up a little. Just as we pile on pullovers to keep ourselves warm, a few extra layers work wonders in creating a warm feel indoors too. Add a woollen throw or a travel <a href="http://honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/accessories/rugs" target="_blank">rug</a> to an armchair or sofa and cushions of all shapes and sizes to add a feeling of cosiness.<br />
<br />
Carpet is unbeatable for warmth and comfort in the winter. If you currently have bare floorboards or a stone floor, then this is the time to invest in a rug to raise temperatures instantly.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5IsoswG8EgeBt7r8ZiAkO9E46EF5tzlLlmiykhSWPupn3h31QjjhUrrY6I_VaCuzOPYtYDjGTFoRodDEVJqD49lA8LQOAPumaVv2jDW3LD7pj9_JLAC2fXR2RlG2lQoQQLNscsW9X-cM/s1600/honeysuckle-image1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5IsoswG8EgeBt7r8ZiAkO9E46EF5tzlLlmiykhSWPupn3h31QjjhUrrY6I_VaCuzOPYtYDjGTFoRodDEVJqD49lA8LQOAPumaVv2jDW3LD7pj9_JLAC2fXR2RlG2lQoQQLNscsW9X-cM/s320/honeysuckle-image1.jpg" width="240" /></a>Eliminating draught is the first step to a warm comfortable home and windows and doors are the chief culprits when it comes to letting in cold air. If your budget won’t run to new double glazing make sure you have linings and interlinings in your curtains. If you have radiators under the window, then team your existing curtains with a thick Roman blind to cut out draughts.<br />
<br />
If you’re looking for inspiration, Honeysuckle Interiors stylish Home and Gift Boutique showcases affordable on trend designer furniture, gifts and gorgeous home accessories not found on the high street. You’ll be amazed by the extensive collection which offers something to suit all budgets. Whether it’s new curtains, a piece of furniture, a gift for a friend or a treat for yourself you’ll be amazed at what you’ll find in store.

As well as making all my own clothes, I naturally made curtains for my first home. As a result in the very early days I made curtains for friends and family and realised here was the business opportunity I’d always dreamed of. I always had the vision that one day the business would be more than just a furnishings company and wanted to be able to provide a complete interior design service.<br /><br />When I look back I was so young just 22 I had nothing to set up a business except me, a sewing machine and lots of determination. People would bring their fabric to me I would make curtains on the lounge floor and fit them myself. I borrowed £500 from a family friend (as no bank would support the venture) and I had to pay it back in loose covers and curtains.<br /><br />Setting up back then was really hard and even harder as the last recession took a foothold. I would supplement my income by temping come home sew all evening and work weekends. But I loved it! I got to live my dream recession or not I had to make a living and make the business work. <br /><br />I worked from home for two years plus juggle home and life with having my first baby, I knew the key to growing the business and keeping my sanity would be to have premises and get more help. In 1992 Honeysuckle Interiors moved into its first premises on Park Farm in Oakley which offered great value for money and much needed space to grow. “When we opened up I thought we may get one or two people through a week if we were lucky. But people got to hear about us and started to visit daily. We started to supply fabrics, wallpapers plus a make-up service and that’s when the business started to flourish”.<br /><br />Seven years later Honeysuckle moved into its current premises in Rectory Road Oakley. “It was another dream come true set in the heart of the village the old post office had a fine reputation set by its previous owners and was well established. I would often go there in the early days to buy stamps and a cake to keep morale up and think one day if this could only be mine how perfect that would be.”<br /><br />Having been in business for over 25 years the business has seen many changes and has steadily grown. A passion for homes and everything inside them is what Honeysuckle is all about – but most importantly it’s the people they work for and with, understanding their needs and being able to deliver great customer service.<br /><br />The company has brought style, innovation and quality furnishings to hundreds of homes throughout the south from one bed maisonettes to sprawling mansions. What ever people’s aspirations or budget the design team are happy to help.<br /><br /><b><i>Marinas work has featured in acclaimed National magazines such as Period Homes, Home Style and Period House and at the Ideal Homes Exhibition in London. She also runs soft furnishing courses and workshops from the premises in Oakley.</i></b><br /><br />Latterly she has had acclaimed fame with her own “House Doctor” radio programme on Kestrel FM. Marina has regular monthly Home Style articles featured in Hampshire Life where many of Honeysuckles clients homes have featured. Her column also appears in the Basingstoke Gazette and many other local publications including the Hampshire Voice.<br /><br />“I’m very proud of Honeysuckle Interiors – it’s my love and my passion – and people know and feel that when they come into my shop. When I look back I am so proud to have developed and grown a solid business that is so highly respected. You’re only ever as successful as the people that work for you. I owe a great deal of the company’s success to my brilliant team of loyal staff. It’s partly thanks to them that we have a solid base of satisfied customers who refer us and come back time and time again. My husband family and friends have always supported me and so much of my drive comes from them. Not many people can actually say they enjoy what they do for a living. I can honestly say even after all these years of being in business I have a love and a passion for what I do I have been truly blessed. I want to keep on evolving Honeysuckle and continue to work in partnership with my customer’s suppliers and staff and keep enjoying what I do.” <br /><br />My future plans will involve working more closely with schools running more workshops and courses to pass our valuable skills on to the next generation. I want to help motivate and inspire our youngsters to follow their dreams and fulfil their potential. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/">www.honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk</a>Honeysuckle Interiorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05545251161439421013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891632015514418273.post-39434784482706065882013-03-08T03:30:00.001-08:002013-03-08T03:30:23.995-08:002013 sees Sanderson launch their greatly anticipated ‘Designer Options’2013 sees Sanderson launch their greatly anticipated ‘Designer Options’, the 11th Options collection.

It’s been used for centuries for its durability, warmth and function and adds a touch of class whether you’re wearing it or furnishing with it. <br />
<br />Traditionally used for upper class country-clothing like shooting jackets, tweed became popular among the Edwardian middle classes who associated it with the leisurely pursuits of the elite. Tweeds certainly have stood the test of time and are as desirable and durable now as they have ever been for clothing and use in interior design schemes. Tweed is a favourite because the flecks of colour in the weave lend it a wonderful depth. This gives us a wide variety of colour choices to pair it with so makes it perfect for the use in the home.<br />

Now is the perfect time to plan interior projects a time to refresh and make over. What ever your style, the new season promises us some great inspiration to help transform our homes.<br />
<br />
2013 sees a portfolio of progressive concepts and innovative design stories in fabric and wallpaper designs. The transition into spring and summer will be marked with fresh colour schemes heralding the start of a bright new season.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikkYN011BBfBT-FVa2_3hTRkvEQEUPFHLn1irpTm51V3UsgPbF9UKNAH6nGetcuI3TZ8jkaRwMQ9iVBVLrCrM5iqJToHXIT40_0OLdB1AeicVMPB8cmQ4YUAQMqcjuG086dE4McvAYxLk/s1600/_MG_4505.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikkYN011BBfBT-FVa2_3hTRkvEQEUPFHLn1irpTm51V3UsgPbF9UKNAH6nGetcuI3TZ8jkaRwMQ9iVBVLrCrM5iqJToHXIT40_0OLdB1AeicVMPB8cmQ4YUAQMqcjuG086dE4McvAYxLk/s320/_MG_4505.jpg" width="320" /></a></span>I feel so privileged to have been able to do what I love as a living for the last 25 years. I have a passion for sewing and have been lucky enough to work with people who make the most amazing curtains. I am often asked what makes <a href="http://www.honeysuckleinteriors.co.uk/soft-furnishings/curtains-blinds" target="_blank">Honeysuckles curtains</a> so different from the rest? To which I answer that it’s all about the hand finishing and the quality of the fabrics, all the work you don’t see. Surely a pair of curtains is just a pair of curtains? Why bother going to the expense I hear you ask but when comparing I would invite you to come and see and feel the difference in ours for yourself. <br />
<br />
As with many things in life you get what you pay for. Quality made to measure curtains are not cheap nor should they be. Good trades people take pride in their work and take care to do it professionally. We curtain makers are no exception. It always takes more time and effort to do a professional job and justifies why hand made curtains are more expensive than ready mades. A good pair of well made curtains is an investment. Consider how often you change them? Too many people regard curtains as just window coverings. Remember that they cover a large expanse of wall and up to a quarter of a room and will make or break the overall design scheme.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz1uYriaJh_9kF2NuUwCYvltCXWgUTHYqA2nUazApwkBxxYKf6hMN8D2EhoToYV_8JasZOr6qi43Xk1EAsXQNNY180SqZIEPVFzCmqzaxIYUQgx2lWZ0Qnj4PRAKCJHL0AwSurN3TbZ7w/s1600/Boaths+Sept+10+050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz1uYriaJh_9kF2NuUwCYvltCXWgUTHYqA2nUazApwkBxxYKf6hMN8D2EhoToYV_8JasZOr6qi43Xk1EAsXQNNY180SqZIEPVFzCmqzaxIYUQgx2lWZ0Qnj4PRAKCJHL0AwSurN3TbZ7w/s320/Boaths+Sept+10+050.jpg" width="320" /></a>Professional curtains are always hand finished and will last longer and look better than poorly made ones or those entirely made by machine. Compare a drawer made with glued dove tail joints and one that is held together just with nails. They will both serve their purpose but naturally the dovetailed one will last longer and be more aesthetically pleasing. Making dove tailed joints takes longer to produce and requires more skill. Likewise with curtains, for a professional job stitching needs to be done correctly and with the correct type of materials. It is the internal work that is not seen that is important as it will ultimately show in the way they drape and how long they last. Lining needs to be held in place not just at each side but also at other points within the body of the curtain so that the fabrics are held together and are not just flapping about independently. Corners should be properly mitered and weighted and seams should also be weighted in the hems.<br />
<br />

Headings are made with buckram (a type of stiffening) which is also gathered up and sewn by hand. This gives sharp pleats below which flow in structured waves known as fullness. The alternative is the taped heading which is stitched on by machine and then gathered up by pulling on cords. Taped headings will not give the neat, sharp pleats and structure like those that are hand pleated. The finish is less precise and has a more relaxed look. When using a taped heading it is more common to use tie backs to improve the drape.<br />
<br />
Another type of heading is the eyelet. Curtains with metal rings can be threaded onto a pole to create a modern, minimalist look. For the best finish, longevity and drape the metal eyelets should be punched into the heading with a special machine. There are tapes that can be purchased that try to achieve the same effect but these are very much for DIY-ers and do not give nearly as professional a finish. <br />

There are many linings on the market today in different price bands. The cheaper linings will tend to have a low thread count (threads per square inch) and be treated with a chemical like a starch that makes it stiffer and feel, initially, to have good 'body'. This quickly breaks down under sunlight and weakens the fabric and its ability to protect. More expensive linings are not treated in this way and not only feel more substantial but will protect your curtain fabric from damage by the sun and dirt. The best lining is called cotton 'sateen' or 'solprufe' and it comes in various qualities. The better the quality, the higher the protection, and the longer they'll last. If you need blackout curtains there are many different qualities of blackout linings. They all do the job of keeping out the light but some are softer than others or have a more 'cottony' feel. The softer ones are more expensive but they will help your curtains drape better. Some flowing fabrics like silk or velvet will be stiffened if combined with blackout lining and so lose their softness. The degree to which this occurs is dictated by the handle of the lining.<br />
<br />
Interlining can also be added between the lining and main fabric. Interlining is a traditional way of adding insulation to fabrics particularly silks and finer cottons. The addition of interlining gives a padded luxurious look according to the weight used. The use of interlining is almost wholly hand sewn and provides a fantastic finish and drape. <br />

However a pair of well made curtains needs to be dressed, hung and fitted professionally making sure that the appropriate type of rail or track is used to maximise the effect. <br />
<br />
Good curtains should always be well made. Curtains that are made and fitted professionally are not only practical but add a signature of quality. I’m proud that at Honeysuckle Interiors we only use the best quality products on the market and have over 25 years of experience in our trade. We take a pride and care in our craft and look forward to sharing and passing the skill on to the next generation.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I love the patriotic feeling
the jubilee and now the Olympics has evoked over recent months.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The whole country has embraced the British
theme and are proud to fly the British flag and drape bunting to celebrate.
It’s time now for the nation to get behind the country and buy British.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can see the effect that the recession is
having on our high street shops, it’s so sad to see so many of our favourite
shops closing down and either remaining empty or pound shops taking their
place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s no wonder consumers are
being forced to shop on line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very
clear to me that now more than ever the British public must get behind their
local retailers and support them in order they survive and continue to provide
employment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Shoppers
are being urged to "Buy British" in an attempt to boost the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on">UK</st1:country></st1:place>'s
flagging manufacturing industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Out of
choice we should support suppliers of </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">British-made
goods in preference to "poor quality, often unsafe" imports. The
feasibility of this is becoming more difficult as in a bid to cut costs
businesses are being forced to out source abroad.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Quality and style are
important factors when choosing new furniture and buying trends are about to
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five years ago consumers
wouldn’t think twice about buying into the latest look with the intention of
renewing again in 2-3 years price and value was therefore key. It’s easy to see
why the demand for cheaper furniture was fuelled and made even easier to purchase
on interest free credit to have it now and pay later basis. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Having been in the soft
furnishing business for nearly 25 years I know that if you asked the same
question 15 years or more ago people would expect their furniture to last much
longer at lease 10 years or more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sofas
were reupholstered, dining table tops were sanded down, re-varnished and chairs
re-covered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Customers bought into a
brand like Ducal, G-Plan, Ercol, Stag to name a few and collected pieces of
furniture over time and made it last. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The current “nostalgic
look”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for interiors means that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so many pieces of once loved furniture are
having a new lease of life. Loose covers on old chairs are recovered in faded old
chintz and sit alongside their contemporary counterparts. Rather than being
discarded for modern flat pack Ducal pine is being painted in French greys and

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Expectations have changed,
however, with an emphasis on the environment and the strain on land fill
consumers are buying more conscientiously again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The recession has meant that sadly not
everyone can afford to just throw away their furniture and start afresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People are looking at investment pieces of
furniture again in a view to them standing the test of time – this is great
news for British manufacturers of fine furniture. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So before you rush out to
buy new have a look at what you’ve already got and think about how you could
use it differently. Make do or mend may just be the order of the day, but if
you have to buy new BUY BRITISH! </span></div>

<h2 style="margin: 0.83em 0cm;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">There’s a real buzz at Honeysuckle as we start thinking about preparations for the queen’s diamond jubilee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve just taken on a new range of fabrics which will have us making bunting, cushions, aprons the possibilities are endless. <o:p></o:p></span></h2><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">With the jubilee in mind there is an abundance of truly patriotic themed accessories for our homes this season.” Cool Britannia” décor is growing in popularity because it can be done on a small budget and still look beautiful.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A well-designed patriotic room will evoke pride. This often begins with the use of a simple flag. Think about how you can use the Union Jack flag as a focal point in your room. Look for large, antique flags to frame and you will have a perfect wall hanging that serves as the focal point of your patriotic design.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Painting a patriotic themed room is actually pretty simple. The colour choices are a no brainer. Go for either a deep red or a navy blue. If you don't want your rooms to have dramatic colour on the walls, then paint one wall with a bold red. Hang your antique flag on that wall for a stunning effect. You could also consider adding a decorative border or painting your trim in red or blue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are some great British themed wallpaper on the market and are available in beautiful patriotic themes.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Rugs offer another great accent to your British décor. If you choose a neutral wall colour, you could bring in your bolder colors through a beautiful, Union Jack rug. You could choose a solid colored rug in red or blue. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">It is obviously unrealistic to redecorate every season, but you can add warmth by adding accessories in spicy saffron, chilli reds and cinnamon shades. Why not add a few extra layers to your existing furnishings to warm them up a little.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as we pile on pullovers to keep ourselves warm, a few extra layers work wonders in creating a warm feel indoors too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add a woollen throw or a travel rug to an armchair or sofa and cushions of all shapes and sizes to add a feeling of cosiness.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So many people remarked on our outfits that we had specially made - and that we'd made them</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">ourselves! Clarissa shares our passion for wonderful fabrics and textiles and was pleased to see her designs walking around Chelsea harbour!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZduhKHBBQzwj0aE2ppbz5npr9i3DS5OxnxA3Sm7frErhYB7aEkkMgRbVLxw51XFBol_l3H1cHU7No9VkZYISINzlPWkKdbZ7U1GhuDGVgcpQPqdM_UaCZ5hKgQLstpXLHrT_-6iD3BWs/s1600/Clarissa+Hulse+and+the+Design+team+at+Chelsea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZduhKHBBQzwj0aE2ppbz5npr9i3DS5OxnxA3Sm7frErhYB7aEkkMgRbVLxw51XFBol_l3H1cHU7No9VkZYISINzlPWkKdbZ7U1GhuDGVgcpQPqdM_UaCZ5hKgQLstpXLHrT_-6iD3BWs/s320/Clarissa+Hulse+and+the+Design+team+at+Chelsea.jpg" width="240" /></a></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>From Cat Walk to Curtains..........</strong></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">It’s an exciting season in the furnishing industry as September sees the launch of new fabric and wallpaper collections. Fashion has been a key trend driver in interiors this year with many design inspirations transcending from the catwalk into the home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vintage style has seen a revival too as homeowners choose to decorate their rooms that remind them of yesteryear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Key interior design trends take inspiration from the 1940’s and 50’s as bright colours and patterns are making a comeback. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Villa Novas new High Society – Tea at the Ritz is a great example of this illustrating ladies wearing 1950’s printed dresses. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you have a passion for fabrics and have a little imagination you can turn this theory on its head as the design team at Honeysuckle recently demonstrated. Inspired by Clarissa Hulse’s latest Kallianthi collection for Harlequin, decided to make their own outfits in beautiful curtain fabrics to wear at <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Chelsea</placename> <placename w:st="on">Harbour</placename></place>’s Focus design exhibition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kallianthi is a breathtaking collection of fabrics and wallpapers with a botanical theme. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Recent trends have also shown that we are also starting to use more vibrant <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>colours in preference to natural shades for our walls. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wallpaper is also a popular choice as it adds texture and warmth and has a certain amount of luxury to it. In austere times consumers will be looking for brightness and will reflect on better times. The new Kallianthi collection has this in abundance whether you choose to make it up as curtains or clothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Colour is all around us and we are constantly influenced by it whether we realise or not. Colour creates mood, ambience and atmosphere in a room it can make us feel cosy, cold, relaxed, happy or sad. If you want to add some colour into your home, w</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">hy not pop along to the showroom and see the whole collection for yourselves - its stunning!!!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">One of my customers remarked recently that they were going to do exactly what their home was designed for – and that was to live in it and enjoy it! When you’re happy with the area you live in, the thought of having to move in order to get a bigger bathroom or an extra bedroom can be daunting and costly. <span style="color: black;">A reasonable estimate of the cost is about 10% of the price of the property you’re selling. That means if you live in a three-bedroom house worth £300,000 and decide to move into the identical three-bedroom house next door, you’ll pay around £30,000 on fees, stamp duty, legal costs, removers and the rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;">People underestimate moving costs because they pay them a bit at a time and don’t necessarily add them up. It often pays to improve rather than move – especially as house prices are high just now, buoyed up by the lack of properties for sale while owners hold back until the market is more settled.</span><em><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial;"> </span></em><em><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Extensions, loft and garage conversions or creating a basement will add the most value. Open plan living is now very popular and knocking down a wall to open up a space that is filled with light will always appeal to potential buyers. Replacing an outdated kitchen will increase the value of your home. If the configuration of your kitchen works well and the carcasses are sturdy then keep the layout as it is and change the doors. Fitting a new work surface and smart new tiles will bring it into the 21st century.</span></em><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Beware of the cowboys! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be very wary of one man bands changing career from the stock market to becoming a builder, or the curtain maker working out the back of her shed in the garden. It does pay to shop around but make sure you are comparing like for like quotes so you know what you are getting for your money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll need to bring in professionals to carry out this kind of work and also contact your local authority to find out if planning permission is required. Talk to people who’ve had similar work done to get their advice.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We've had a Cole & Son account for a long time and when the team were invited for a talk and factory tour (and lunch!) thought it would be a great opportunity to see how they justify in excess of £60 a roll for their wallpaper! <span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The whole day was inspiring from start to finish we all came away buzzing and with so much more product knowledge - and our conclusion that at £60 plus a roll was truly excellent value for money.</span><br />
<br />
The biggest surpise for us all that though famed for making wallpaper for Buckingham Palace, The House of Parliament, the White House (to name drop just a few) the company despite its size feels like a family run business. It boasts one of the largest archives of over 1800 block designs, 350 screen print designs and an enormous collection of original drawings and wallpapers from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century. It's not all about the old stuff though, their current collections have really modern excitng designs too.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not going to get all super wallpaper nerdy as Colin Edwards did a brilliant job at that for us on the day! - but you could not help but be ovewhelmed by his knowledge of the product and his infectious enthusiasm for the company. After we had our talk in the boardroom our tour of the factory was like stepping back in time. How wonderful to see the original machinery and blocks still in use and how manual and uncomputerised the processes were. The results were magnificent the quality outstanding - but then so were all the people we met in the factory who take a real pride in their work.<br />
