Ideas and advice

Our dedicated team is available to guide you through the fabric sample rooms, please call us if you would like to make an appointment or drop in and browse at your leisure. Our resources are extensive so please allow plenty of time for your visit and bring your photos with you. If you want greater input then please ask about our Interior Design Service.

Interior Design Service
We can plan a complete room or whole house. A designer will visit you at home, discuss your ideas, measure, plan and with your involvement, create an innovative design proposal.

Sample and measuring service
When you have narrowed down your choices we can order samples of furnishing fabric, wallpaper and carpet and they will be sent direct to you. If you bring in photographs of your project and rough measurements we can estimate how much fabric is required. When you have made your final choice an adviser will call round and measure up.

Fitting services
We can arrange specialist fitters to install your curtains, cushions, loose covers, blinds and carpet.
