Inspirational Photography

On this page I have selected some of my favourite images and arranged them by room, themes and trends which I hope will help inspire and guide you.

Here are some of my ideas for developing your style:

  • Take a pile of magazines and tear out pages of kitchens, sitting rooms, bedrooms and so on that you like. I did this and found that common themes kept coming up, and that I liked painted floors but not exposed brown beams.
  • Try out new colours before you commit. In my kitchen, I hung bits of fabric on the walls or on furniture and painted squares of colour next to them and then lived with them for a while.
  • Three colours generally work better in a room than two. The third shade makes it more interesting and less 'teamed up' - you can bring in extra colour in carpets, a painting, curtains or even books. It can be small touches.

If you are still unsure, do feel free to email my helpful team with images of your room or house and we will do our best to help. Alternatively, please pop into my showroom and we can guide you through colour schemes, fabrics and furnishings.

Room Inspiration: The Sitting Room

The Sitting room is a treasured space, often setting the style for the rest of your home. It is probably the area we spend most of our time in and so is a great place to start when planning a home make over. 

Room Inspiration: The Study

Try co-ordinating chairs, blinds and curtains with homemade accessories like box files and baskets for a special touch...

Style: Country

English country style emphasizes coziness and our relationship with nature. Think simple and rustic with classic, comfortable pieces of furniture. Florals, checks and spots all work well.

Pencil Pleat Curtains - Made to Measure

The Pencil Pleat is probably our most popular heading style. It comes with a 3" tape that may be used to reposition the hook if necessary. Another advantage is that if you chose to put these curtains on a wider track or pole, you can stretch the fabric out a little more to make it fit. Please keep in mind that some images may contain discontinued fabrics, but they are only shown for reference.

The image slides begin with 5cm cottage pleats and lead to 10cm headers. Please keep in mind that some images may contain discontinued fabrics, but they are only shown for reference.

Roman Blinds - Made to Measure

We provide two mechanisms for Roman Blinds - a Rotary Chain track which is a metal track that is a considerably more durable alternative for heavier weighted blinds, such as those made entirely of linens and interlining. The other is a Wooden Batten that is screwed into place. Bottom, or all-around borders can be added; for all-round borders they will be added onto the bottom, left, and right sides of the blind, but never on the top. Bead options for rotary tracks are chrome, pewter, gun metal, and antique bronze. Ivory Cords with wooden, brass or chome acorns are available for wooden battens only. Please keep in mind that some images may contain discontinued fabrics, but they are only shown for reference.

The image slides below begin with a close up example of each roman blind mechanism, leading onto standard blinds and ending with bordered options.

We do a final inspection on all Blinds after they're finished to ensure all specifications have been met, and include all components that come with the final product, such as hanging instructions, brackets, rawlplugs, screws, and safety devices/disclaimers.

All of our Roman Blinds are hand finished, custom-made to your specifications, and delivered within 8 weeks of placing your order.

Roller Blinds - Made to Measure

Laminated backing (white lining on the reverse of the fabric), blackout, and processed (just the fabric on its own with a stiffening spray added for sturdiness), are the three treatment options we offer for our Roller Blinds. The laminated/blackout lining is visible at the top of a standard roller; however, you can pick reverse rolled to have the fabric fall forward, thus concealing the backing. Pelmets are an optional finish for standard rollers that can be designed to match the pattern of your blind fabric, or if you wish, you can add a contrast fabric to suit. Ivory cord, chrome, brass, gun metal, pewter, and antique bronze beads are the chain/pull options for side control blinds. If you choose a centre pull, ivory cord and wooden acorn will be included as standard. Please keep in mind that some images may contain discontinued fabrics, but they are only shown for reference.

The image slides below begin with standard rollers, leading onto reverse rolled, bottom border and pelmets.
