Decorating Living Rooms

The living room: home of the coffee table. We all love a nice cup of fresh coffee, especially when it’s not a rushed two minute coffee on the way out to work. To enjoy a nice, leisurely coffee morning with friends, you need an excellent coffee table and we are just the people to help you out in that department! Choose a nest of coffee tables or a stand-alone coffee table, depending on the size of your living room and what you use your coffee table for.

Decorating Living Rooms

Decorating Living Rooms

Living rooms are multi-functional rooms that are becoming less and less formal over the years. You can entertain the kids and their friends with some arts and crafts (just cover that table carefully!), or you can put on a spread of sophisticated nibbles for the grown-ups. Your furniture can be as multi functioning as the room itself with the use of our multi-functioning sofa table, which is great to lay out a cheeky TV takeaway on. Have some fun with decorating and give your living room an overhaul with some seasonal living room décor ideas. Throw in some spring accessories; bright colours, floral cushions and fresh daffodils, for a beautifully stylish, on-trend, seasonal front room.

Decorating Living Rooms

Decorating Living Rooms

The most important thing to remember when choosing furniture is to not over-furnish the room. You should aim for a warm, welcoming feel without over-crowding the space. Choose an appropriate amount of furniture for the size of your room. There are so many pieces and ranges to choose from; console tables, book cases, TV units and more, but we are always on hand to help you create the beautiful home that you have in mind.

Put your feet up and let us do the rest! After all, your home is only as good as the furniture you furnish it with!

Choosing Wall Colours

We know how difficult it can be to come up with some unique and interesting interior décor ideas. With so many other things to think about every day, it can often seem like just another thing on your to-do list. There are so many colours of paint and wallpaper to choose from nowadays, how do you know which is the best shade to use to make your furniture stand out from the crowd?

Chunky Pine Furniture

Chunky Pine Furniture

If you are decorating your home with pine furniture, it is guaranteed to look fabulous when teamed with some warming red tones. Red symbolises confidence and vitality; perfect moods to create throughout the home. If you can’t bear the thought of red on the walls, try a cream based paint colour along with some red soft furnishings, such as bed spreads and cushions, for an ambient effect. One other effective option is to use a neutral paint on three walls, leaving just one feature wall to be decorated in red or another bold colour, whether you use paint or wallpaper.

Choosing Wall Colours

Choosing Wall Colours

On the other hand, if you are furnishing with some oak furniture, purple shades will instantly create a grand and regal theme. This is perfect for dining rooms and living rooms, as they are often the rooms that are used to entertain guests. With so many different shades of purple, you have a great deal of scope for creativity. Lilac will easily blend in with lighter oak, opening up small spaces; while violet and darker purples will match darker oak tones for a less contrasting effect.

If you choose to use wallpaper rather than paint, this will make creating feature walls so much easier. You can choose from a wide range of patterns and textures that will look a great deal more effective than the block colour that you achieve from painting.

Your home is your castle, so decorate it well!

Decking out the dining room doesn’t need to be all that difficult either. Nautical doesn’t always have to mean starfish and stripes. Here your theme could be characterised by some simply finished, classic wood furniture. For an elegant touch, choose a grand oak or pine dining room table for an authentic maritime dining experience. Apply this to the whole room with cabinets and side units for a rustic, colonial feel that is easier to blend into the rest of your home. We know how difficult it is to try to find the time and motivation to decorate, but incorporating a theme makes it that little bit easier.

Children’s Bunk bed

DH05 Children's Pine Bunk Bed

DH05 Children’s Pine Bunk Bed

When you have children, space can quickly become a problem in a home that once was plenty big enough. Toys and necessities take over leaving little room for much else. Before you get ready to put your house on the market and look for somewhere larger, consider maximising the space you already have. And in a bedroom for more than one child, a children’s bunk bed could be the way forward!

If your children share a bedroom, it can be tricky to fit in 2 single beds plus wardrobes and clothes chests whilst allowing enough floor space for them to play. A children’s bunk bed – with the footprint of only a single bed – is a great space saving idea.

NB038 Vancouver Oak Bunk Bed

NB038 Vancouver Oak Bunk Bed

There’s no need to worry about sacrificing your child’s comfort for space, either. Bunk beds are very comfortable – not to mention fun! Our solid oak beds come in classic and contemporary designs that fit seamlessly into a stylish or traditional home. From a rustic, to a light modern finish, our oak bunk beds are solidly built and finished to a high standard.

Pine is also a great option for a children’s bunk bed. Made from 100% British pine, bunk beds from our Chunky or Tarka collections boast the same sturdiness as our oak models, but at a slightly lower price. Our pine collections are also available in painted finishes, so it’s easy to personalise the children’s room.  For a girly bedroom, why not go for a blush and white look as offered in our junior pine range? Boys may like the traditional blue or quieter granite, or opt for the “tastier” mint or latte options.  With 11 colour options,  your children’s bunk bed can give an air of fun to bedtime and gives them somewhere they’ll love to sleep in at night!

So for both a money and space saving idea for your kids’ bedroom, why not take a look at the bunk beds we have in stock? Their style, quality and comfort mean that everyone in the home can sleep soundly knowing the children will have a bed to grow up in, and the only thing left for the kids to worry about will be who gets the top bunk?!

Furnishing Your Home With Oak Furniture

You may think that choosing to furnish your home with oak furniture means two things: dark and expensive. While there is no escaping the fact that oak is generally higher in price than pine as it takes much longer to grow; the extra growing time allows sellers to cultivate the wood into something truly spectacular. Longevity is priceless when it comes to classic furniture pieces such as beds, wardrobes and dining room tables; for this reason oak is always a winner. Its outstanding wear resistance will stand the test of time year after year.

Vancouver Oak Bedroom Collection

Vancouver Oak Bedroom Collection

Don’t be put off by the traditional finish of this misunderstood wood. Dark, rustic oak looks fantastic in traditional countryside homes; but for something more modern the American White Oak is a welcome change. The finish is light and airy creating a spacious feel and refreshing ambiance.

When furnishing rooms with oak it is advisable to choose the room that you feel you won’t get bored of or need to re-arrange frequently. Oak pieces are like an old, trusted friend; they stick with you for years and never let you down. Oak bedroom suites are classy and understated and because of their grand, elegant effect on any room, you won’t need to decorate much further. Let the oak do the talking and sit back, relax and enjoy.

Oak Office Furniture

Now if you’re anything like us, you’ll spend far too much time in the office. We don’t need any excuse to make Monday mornings any less miserable. Oak office furniture will give you a luxurious working space that is guaranteed to boost your creativity and work output. Out of sight is out of mind; clear your head by filing away that ever increasing mountain of paper work in under-desk drawers. Brighten up your work or study day and make the daily grind a thing of the past.

Oak Dining Room Table and Chairs

Oak Dining Room Table and Chairs

Oak can work in the dining room too. A dining room table in our Hearts Of Oak Range is another lighter option if you prefer to keep away from dark, rustic tones. Due to the wood’s strong, hard wearing nature it will be able to easily withstand many terrible-two’s temper tantrums and even a few crazy dinner parties. The majority of our oak comes from North America which is ideal for furniture manufacture as it is stable, closed-grained and almost impervious to water.

Visit one of our stores today and we will be happy to help you add that all-important finishing touch to your home!
