Take one blind :: Salina Orange roller blind
Posted by Anna in Bedroom, Blinds, Home office, House stuff, Lounge, Roller blinds on April 7th, 2010
The Salina Orange roller blind bursts with vibrancy, the orange flower heads stand out against the neutral background and up close it’s easy to see linen like texture. This blind so endearing and it will cheer up the gloomiest day.
For the brave orange isn’t an accent colour it’s a bold wall or large piece of furniture, maybe for the rest of us however we feel safer using it as a punchy highlight. The beauty of the Salina Orange roller blind is that it will work well in both settings helping to tie the design together.
Here are three rooms that would all look sensational with the Salina Orange roller blind. (By the way if you love the pattern but the orange isn’t quite right then why not take a look at the Salina Black in glorious mono.)

Take one blind :: English Oak Hardwood blind
Posted by Anna in Bedroom, Blinds, House stuff, Wooden blinds, kitchen on March 9th, 2010
Take one blind …
This is our most popular wooden blind bar none, English Oak is the perfect mid coloured wood, not too light and not too dark. The quality solid timber slats are coated in several coats of UV protecting wood stain for a beautiful and long lasting colour.
Wooden blinds are suitable throughout the home, the wood brings with it a natural warmth while the smooth operation makes altering the slats from open to closed, or raising and lowering, simple and effortless.
We think it’s the versatility of English Oak that has made it such a popular choice, it will complement almost any scheme. We were hard pushed to limit ourselves to just three looks. Incidentally it looks great in my kitchen of white gloss units and sage green glass splash back!

How to dress a bed
Posted by Anna in Bedroom, House stuff on July 14th, 2009
Is your bedroom feeling a little unloved? Mine was for years, but a quick lick of paint (intense truffle by Dulux) and my bedroom was transformed into a boudoir! I now take quite a lot of pride in making the bed each day and ‘dressing’ it with my throw and cushions.
It’s not sometimes till you go to a hotel and slip into clean, freshly laundered linen that you realise that your bedding at home leaves a little to be desired. I can still remember renting a cottage years ago, the bed was just amazing, there were lots of feather pillows, a massively thick duvet and all dressed in crisp white cotton. Let me see if I can inspire you to re-vamp your bed, or just add a couple of little touches to make it special. We can all do boutique hotel you know!
There are so many ways to make your bed look special and oh so inviting. A bedspread or throw can add real pizzazz and is also eminently practical on a colder night. As with all bed accessories choose to either complement your bedding or contrast entirely either in colour, style or texture. I just love the mixture above of blue and hot orange. Did the unusual table lamp come first or the bedding?
Cushions are pretty much essential in dressing an otherwise naked bed. Here you can really go to town with outrageous designs. How fantastic would bright florals look in an otherwise white scheme, checks against swirls or rough tapestry against soft linen? Cushions on your bed don’t suffer the same wear and tear as the ones on your sofa. Really go to town with intricate detailing such as beading and fringes.
