It’s amazing how just one large drum lampshade, can create such a dramatic visual effect in room, especially a living room or kitchen. Look here at all the different lampshades we have made for these rooms and you will see what I mean.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS
Whilst reorganising and redecorating my kitchen (do have a peep at my Instagram to see how it is going!), I have taken inspiration from the following quotes.
‘”As we evolve our homes should too.”
Suzanne Tucker (Interior Designer).
“The details are not details, they make the design.”
Charles Eames (Furniture Designer).
“Design is getting to grips with one’s real lifestyle, one’s place in the world. Rooms should not be put together for show but to nourish one’s well being.”
Albert Hadley (Interior Designer).
“Have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.“
William Morris (Textile designer).
TRY AND GET CREATIVE!
Research has shown that being creative helps you become a better problem solver in all areas of your life and work.
Creativity helps you see things differently and better deal with uncertainty.
Studies show that creative people are better able to live with uncertainty because they can adapt their thinking to allow for the flow of the unknown.
So why not get going…it can be anything at all from gardening to cooking, sewing, writing, crafting, drawing or painting, and see how you feel. I believe it’s important to get out of your head into your hands.
We sell fabrics exclusively designed by Vanessa Arbuthnott, along side small, bespoke collection of Made to Measure items which includes curtains, blinds, sofas, footstools, chairs, headboards, and quilts, all handmade specially for you by master crafts people.
