Classic English Style for 2011

Check out this delightful Moreton framed sofa we received last week from head office.  I can't wait to launch this sofa in a window display...

I have been looking for an excuse to use an on-trend orange and terracotta colour palette for some time, and this seems like the perfect opportunity to complement the lovely warm hue of the cherry wood. The scheme below includes orange paint from Farrow and Ball, Paisley wallpaper and Rossini velvet from the Mulberry collection. The best bit is that all these companies are English!

Winning Christmas Window display

It's been a while, so I thought I would upload some pics from our competition winning window display Jenn and I designed and implemented for Wesley Barrell! A few things went wrong along the way but fortunately it did come together in the end!

''A cosy hunting lodge inspired Christmas window, featuring 3 seater Bourton sofa in Wesley Barrell fabric Upton Antique.

A Sanderson English hunting toile wallpaper hangs above the fireplace, with the stag head and vintage frames over laid on top. A rich and heavy checked Mulberry fabric length hangs behind the Bourton and we have used another Mulberry fabric on the floor as a rug, promoting our Mulberry collection and high star ratings.

We have included Anjou side table in Mahogany and 20 different accessories in the window from pictures and vases, to birds, cushions, throws, draft excluder and the footstool. ''

'Lawn tennis' window display

Today I gathered inspiration for a lawn tennis themed window to feature at the Wesley Barrell show room in the second half of June. The aim of the display is to promote our interior advisory service.
